About Daimeera



Hello there!

I'm a 21 year old female from Nova Scotia, Canada. I'm not as active on this site as I once was, but I will almost certainly reply to private questions sent to me.

Let's see, about me. I've been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Clinical Depression, as well as some other related mental and physical illnesses. Despite this, I'm happier now than I can ever remember being.

I've been a vegan since August 2007. In other words, I do my best not to consume anything of animal origin, ranging from the obvious (meat), to the somewhat obvious (eggs and dairy), to the not-so-obvious (honey, wool, silk, and more). I love this life. I have so much more appreciation for everything and everyone around me, and I feel so at peace with myself and the world. I wake up everyday and know that I'm making a difference. It's been a huge turning point in my life.

I recently graduated from high school after an extra three years due to my illness. It was a long road, but it felt amazing to walk across that stage. An added bonus was having the 15th highest average (over my high school career) out of 258 students!

I intend to pursue a career in psychology, first obtaining my BA, and then attending graduate school in order to study for my PhD. It's a little daunting at times, but I know it will be worth it. I want to help people, plain and simple. I want to make a difference. I want to change the world. And I believe I can, if only in a small way.

I think that's me in a nutshell. I also enjoy writing, knitting, multiple other artistic endeavors (including drawing, photography, music, and more), web design, and many other things. So, feel free to drop me a message if you think there's something I can help with.

Psst, guess what? I, like everyone else, have my very own message board! You can visit it here.

Hey I was wondering if anyone could find/knew any EASY'ish patterns or how-to websites, on how to knit a hat w/earflaps. Like these, (but these instructions are kinda confusing im looking for something easier, maybe more basic?)
http://www.knitlist.com/95gift/ski.htm

Oi, it's a tough project and I'm a beginner-ish knitter myself. You might want to attempt something else, but if not, knitty.com has some good patterns. I found an earflap hat here:

http://www.knitty.com/issuesummer06/PATTswell.html

but it doesn't look very easy.

There's another one here:

http://www.knitty.com/issuefall02/PATTvinterlue.html

and it looks a bit easier, but still tough.

Those were the best I could find, I'm afraid.
