If you could go back in time and do your college degree over, what would you choose and why?

This is quite a difficult question because I would probably still pick the same course, because if I hadn’t done the same course, I wouldn’t have the friends I have now or the experiences that have helped shape me. I know I continually go on about having done the wrong course and that’s probably true, especially since I’m interested in doing business now, but I don’t really regret my course, only my results! And I did have a few extenuating circumstances, don’t you think?!


Why do you love Halloween so much and when did this obsession start?

I think I love Halloween in Ireland because until I suppose this year really, it wasn’t really commercial and it was a fun holiday. The fact that it’s 3 days before my bday helps a bit too. ;) It’s also a cheap holiday and it lets grownups have a bit of fun too. Of course the fact that it indulges my desire to dress up once in a while never hurts.

I’ve loved Halloween as long as I can remember. It was always a party around my area. Plus from 10-13, I was always sick on Halloween, stupid cubs and their hikes up mountains that my delicate inner ear couldn’t take, so I have to make up for it now that I’m older!


Have you ever done creative writing for your own sake (ie. Not for school etc)?

The short answer to this was no but then I remembered writing a story about myself and Prince William. I was probably about 13/14 and it was quite soppy if I remember correctly. That is the one and only time though. Its never appealed to me as much as reading because I’m well aware of my limitations and I would never force my bad writing on anyone, unlike a certain Taoiseach’s daughter I could mention! Also, I never liked English in school so it never inspired me to put pen to paper. Maybe I was a big nationalist head when I was a kid and objected strongly to the use of English as a language full stop. Well, it’s a theory anyway.


If you had to do a face/off swap of faces with one of your friends, whose face would you choose? (Not necessarily the same as the one you think is most attractive)

This one is a little difficult. I would never really think of swapping a face with anyone. It would have been much easier if you asked me about swapping a body. To be honest, I’m quite happy with my own face and wouldn’t want to swap but if I had to, I’d choose Alex. Hers is a very expressive face and even in repose there’s a bit of a smile. I associate her with fun and laughter and I think that is what I would be giving others with her face…It also helps that she’s a hottie!

What is your favourite piece of art?
You know my opinion by now on art. I’m not a huge fan. Monet is my favourite painter and there are lots of his that I like equally but I suppose the only artist I’ve ever bought (and carried 4,000 miles home) is Shishkin and "A day in the pine forest. I like it because it’s quite true to life and it has really cute bears in it! I suppose as well, it’s one of those paintings where you can keep going back to it and find something new in it every time…
