#7Things

I almost avoided this entire meme!  And then @bcompton swoops in and drags the last of us into it.

Let’s see if I can dream up 7 things that I didn’t already list of the damn 25 things meme I was dragged into on Facebook.

1. I’m allergic to Squirrel-Away, which is a powder you mix into bird food to keep… well, squirrels away.  Based on the reaction I had to the stuff, I might be a squirrel.

2. I am afraid of eels and ferrets.  I don’t like how they move.

3. My mom took my first name, Erica, from Erica Kane. She’s the Susan Lucci character on All My Children.

4. I have been a passionate Weird Al fan since middle school, when a friend introduced me to the song “Amish Paradise.”  I’ve since seen him in concert a half-dozen times, I have his autograph on a kazoo, and I still consider the man to be a hero of mine.

5. I had my first kiss when I was 18 years old and in college. This probably makes sense when positioned next to the Weird Al thing.

6. I cannot play any musical instrument (triangle and such aside). I use the left side of my brain for language more than music.

7. I have been writing poetry since I was in 4th grade. I have a B.A. in poetry, and when I graduated from college I won the $8k senior prize for poetry. All that being said, I have never been published.  Because I’m a moron.

There we go… 7 Things that Twitter people most likely don’t know about me.  I’m not going to tag anyone this time around, but if you’d like to respond please do— and let me know at twitter.com/redrabbit.
