1. Music:I have an extremely varied taste in music ranging from Macca, to Eminem and from Simon and Garfunkel to Ladysmith Black Mambazo.


2. Sport: I enjoy sport and am especially interested in Gaelic football. I played with the local ladies team for 7 years before giving up to pursue my studies.


3. Footballer: David Beckham even though it’s partly because of his lovely legs it also has something to do with his talent.


4. Food: My favourite food (at the moment) is either pasta with a tomato and pepperoni based sauce and cooked bacon or home cooked Fajitas with chilli sauce.


5. Drink: I love apple juice it’s so yummy!


6. Night out: A nice meal and then a couple of drinks with a few of my best friends.


7. Night in: Order Chinese and get a couple of Videos and just chill again with friends.


8. Film: I have also a wide range in films depending on the film type:
   Comedy-loving dodgeball at the moment.
   Biography: The Linda McCartney Story.
   Serious: The Shawshank Redemption; without a doubt one of the best films ever made.
   Also Saving Private Ryan is also a must see.
   
9. Song: My favourite song at the moment is by a songwriter called Brendan Benson and the song title is Your Quiet, it’s a really happy song and makes you feel good about yourself!
   
10. Songwriter: An American Singer/Songwriter who writes all his own stuff and plays virtually every musical instrument under the sun! Jason Falkner a fab singer, songwriter and musician.
    
11. Band: My favourite band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I love their music, look, voices everything. I think that they are brilliant and have managed to stay above so much competition for nearly 20 years now and are still producing fab songs.
    
12. Actor: Matthew McConaughey, I first seen him in the film A Time to Kill and not only did I get hooked on the actor I also got hooked on the author of the book, that the film was based on, John Grisham. I also like Christopher Meloni, got hooked on him from such Television shows as Law and Order SVU, and films like Twelve Monkeys, Junior, Clean Slate, Runaway Bride and Carlo's Wake.
    
13. Actress: Susan Sarandon is one of my favourite actresses after seeing her in Copycats and Stepmom; another of my favourite actress is Maura Tierney who starred alongside Jim Carrey in Liar Liar, and plays Abby Lockhart in ER.
    
14. Television Programme: ER. I love it and think the actors and actresses are superb especially Noah Wyle who plats Dr. John Carter and Maura Tierney who plays Abby Lockhart.
    
15. Book: Under the Hawthorn Tree by Marita Conlon-McKenna, I also love the two following books to this one-Wildflower Girl and Fields of Home.
    
16. Author: John Grisham and Danielle Steel I love the styles in these books even though they are about as different as night and day. I also love the way both authors have a way of transporting you into the world of the book just in the first sentence.
    
17. Item of Clothing: Is a scarf- not completely an item of clothing, but it was given to me by my sister and is really cool. It’s a fleece scarf but the ends are fluffy and have pockets.
    
18. Shoes: Red Doc. Martins Boots.
    
19. Socks: I no this is a strange one but I have an amazing collection of brightly coloured socks and my favourite ones are these really groovy knee-length ones.
    
20. Colour: Red, because its so full of life and makes you feel happy.
    
21. Shape: I like circles cause I like to think that everything is continuous its also a symbol of equality as there is no top or bottom.
    
22. Sound: The sound of Silence I know that sounds odd, but I at home (in Cavan) I live in the middle of nowhere and its great to be able to go to sleep in silence.
    
23. Smell: Freshly ground coffee it smells delicious.
    
24. Texture: I love the feeling of fleece, as it’s so soft and comforting.
    
25. Taste: Wild Strawberries we have the growing in the fields on our farm at home and they are miles better than the ones you get in the shops, a lot sweeter and tastier.
