Maytumblrbot asked: WHERE WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO VISIT ON YOUR PLANET?
I don’t know where I would most like to visit on my planet. I want to visit every state in my country. Then Europe. Easter Island. Antarctica. Russia. Everywhere. I want to cross the top 100 world wonders off my list. I want to see everything.
Too bad I’m impoverished and grew up with a mother too interested in stealing my identity rather than teaching me how to go out and be in the world. I guess I’m glad I live in a world where pictures of the world are rampant and easy to see online, cause that’s the best I’ll get. -

You Find Some Parts of Your Family Frightening
You are very quick to forgive your family for wrongdoings. You don’t expect them to be perfect, and you try to help them out whenever it’s possible. You feel like your family is prone to too many arguments and instability. You never feel like things can be completely peaceful. You believe that one of your relatives is truly evil. You wish to be protected from this person at all costs. You have trouble keeping up with your family member’s birthdays and anniversaries. You are often late with your gifts.***************
this was a survey that I took at Blogthings and I found it so scarily accurate that I HAD to save it. Except the last part about keeping up with dates. I know birthdates and stuff REALLY well. I’m only late on gifts if I can’t afford anything. LOL

AprAmazingly beautiful. I’m also jealous. Not only will I not ever be getting married (I believe) but I could also not afford these dresses or ever fit into them. *sigh* They’re so pretty…

MarOh look - this makes me really glad I was never that interested in Lasik. Something about it just made me feel uncomfortable - surgery with your eyes wide open? What if something went wrong? I’d rather have contacts. ;)

MarPretty ding dang darn interesting. I must admit to being a *teeny* bit worried about this, but then a friend of mine on FB posted an entirely dramatic paranoid status (something like “2 reactors have blown and all the radiation will be coming to the US on trade winds! Get your iodine pills while you still can!”) and I thought “jeez, how ridiculous” and haven’t been worried since. This article backs me up. :D
I get extremely annoyed at people who try to blow up the facts. I’m used to it with the media, while still slightly annoyed, but I couldn’t tell you how much I wanted to bop my friend in the face. When I looked up her info, I found that only one had blown and it was entirely “safe”… blah blah blah. Where she got her info and why she chose to post paranoid rantings is beyond me. But this article is nicely genius.

I love this website, and I love its free patterns. However I do not love when a free pattern links to a website that is no longer in existence. Because of this, I found a beautiful headband pattern whose website is no longer in existence, but whose website was luckily archived. I do not trust in this though, so copy it here I will.
BTW, my strange phrasing comes from a lack of sleep - but yet I harbor a lack of wanting to sleep, which puts me in a strange predicament. So here is the pattern.
**********************
LARKSPUR HEADBAND
This lacey headband is a quick and easy project and is a great way to use up the last of a skein. The lace panel is bordered in simple garter stitch and features a slightly modified version of the larkspur pattern from the Big Book of Knitting Stitch Patterns by Sterling Publishing Co. Short rows are worked inside the lace so that the middle portion of the panel is slightly wider than the edges. After working the lace panel, stitches are picked up along one edge and a stretchy garter stitch band is knit to length, then sewn to the opposite side of the lace panel. The garter stitch band is wide, in order to keep hair off the back of the neck, but can easily be made narrower.Skills required: knit, purl, yarnovers, decreases, short rows
Yarn: Cotton Fleece in Antique Lace, 1 skein (you will only use about 55 yds, or 25 grams, of yarn)
Needles: US 5 or size to get gauge
Gauge: not really important, but you want about 5 sts per inch in stockingetteCircumference = 21” (adjustable)
********
1. Cast on 61 stitches. Knit 3 rows.2. Begin lace chart, working through 8th row. For every even row, the first 3 stitches and the last 3 stitches are knit and all the stitches inbetween are purled.
3. Once you have completed all eight rows of the lace chart, begin chart again. However, on the first row, wrap the last stitch of the last repeat. Turn work. Purl to third stitch before the end. Wrap this stitch and turn work. Continue knitting lace chart as normal, picking up wraps as you reach them.
4. After completing row 8 of chart, purl next 3 rows. Bind off all stitches loosely, except last one.
5. Keeping this last stitch on the needle, pick up 11 stitches along the short edge with the right side facing you. 12 stitches are now on the needle.
NOTE: This creates a garter stitch band almost as wide as the lace panel. If you want a narrower band, pick up the 11 stitches, knit a row, then decrease stitches on following row until you reach the desired width for the band. Remember to increase up to 12 stitches again on the last row.
6. Work in garter stitch until the entire headband measures 21” from end to end.NOTE: If you want a headband in a larger or smaller circumference, add or subtract rows from the garter stitch band. To determine ideal length, measure your head around the area your will be wearing the band and subtract half an inch. For a snug fit, subtract one inch. The remainder is the length your knitted headband should measure from the far edge of the lace panel to the end of the garter stitch strap.
7. Bind off all stitches, leaving a long tail for sewing. Sew or graft end of strap to lace panel, forming a circle. Be careful not to twist the garter stitch strap. Weave in ends and block lace lightly.
