Greetings!  My name is Aislynn d’Merricksson. You can read a bit about me in the ‘About’ section. Obviously. However, here I’m going to share ten things about me that are unusual or that most people do not know.

 

First Thing About Me

*I have a prosthetic eye.

I lost my right eye at age 21, thanks to numerous retinal detachments. As a result, I no longer drive.

 

Second Thing 

*My favourite writing music is instrumental movie scores.

Some of my favourites are Jablonsky’s Transformers soundtracks, The 13th Warrior, and the music of Elder Scrolls, from Morrowwind to Skyrim.

 

Third Thing 

*I am an extreme introvert. Because of this, I do not like change!

 

Fourth Thing About Me

*I used to keep scorpions.

Black emperors, like the one below, are actually quite docile. This makes them a great choice for beginning scorpion keepers.

 

Fifth Thing 

*I once worked with big cat cubs.

 

Sixth Thing 

*I find MRIs soothing.

Seriously, I can sleep in them.

 

Seventh Thing 

*I am demophobic.

I panic in crowds or crowded areas I feel I cannot escape. I’m not claustrophobic. I can handle, well, MRIs for one, and elevators, with ease. I like hiding in places, and have an enclosed reading nook on the patio.

 

Eigth Thing 

*My favourite movies are Ghostbusters and Jurassic Park. And now Jurassic World!

 

Ninth Thing 

*I’m learning to play the violin.

 

Tenth Thing About Me

*I’ve met both Lucifer and Crowley, current King of Hell (Supernatural).
