5. Something that always makes me laugh...
Anything inappropriate. I laugh a lot. BUT MY FAVOURITE IS when you’re laughing so hard, that the person you’re with starts - and then you’re both contagiously laughing and can’t stop. That always cracks me up.
6. I'm in love with...
Hand written notes, capturing the sun between my fingers, buying too many flowers, synchronicities, finding dimes, knowing when to end something, knowing when you begin, booking one way tickets, watching my friends flourish, the tiny in-between moments when it feels like nothing is happening, but really - everything Is happening.

I’m floating in water.

Oof, this is a hard tie breaker between Boney M "Sunny" & "Yes Sir I Can Boogie" by Baccara - they will get me moving anywhere and everywhere forever.

My laugh - it seems to be a conversation and party starter!

This could take up a whole page but let's go with something fun and new, I dream about making my own MMANN wine !!
1. The song that always gets me on the dancefloor...
I never have a problem getting down on the dance floor but Earth Wind and Fire’s September does the trick if I’m particularly not in the mood.
2. My best party trick...
I don’t know if it’s a trick? But I can Irish goodbye very well. I could make it a sport.

Blue Powerade, two Advil, breakfast sandwich from somewhere greasy and a great belly laugh with a friend.

Good music!!!!!!!
5. Something that always makes me laugh...
I really hate this about me but when someone falls down I laugh and it doesn’t matter how hurt they are slapstick humour from The 3 Stooges raised me. If you’re a tiny kid extra “bonus points”. Kids falling down is an instant laugh lol.
6. I'm in love with...
A flower right before it blooms, sunrises, sunsets, red wine, brand new lipstick, an excuse to go out for dinner, running into friends randomly on the street, bubbly water, lemon, meeting deadlines, a book you can’t put down and the sound of a piano in another room.
7. I'm happiest when...
I am inspired!!!
8. My dream...
To own a house with 6 of my girlfriends where all we do is giggle and make dinner parties and cry at the full moon and build secret entrances to our bedrooms and share clothes and handbags and create really beautiful art.
