DEEP STUFF

If you could eat dinner with any three people (dead or alive), who would they be: Bono, Thomas Paine, Bob Marley

Person you admire most: Bono, he personifies the perfect mix of my two passions: music and diplomacy

What you are most proud of: my friends, my dog, my nieces, my passions, my education, my dedication, my compassion, my music (like my lovely ipod), my car

ROMANCE

What is your idea of romance: Loving someone because of their imperfections, not in spite of them. Finding comfort in their presence, even in silence. Unexpected gifts at unexpected times. Laughter.

The type of person you look for: passionate, dedicated, witty, intelligent, mischievous. Men who talk about diplomacy turn me on.  I don’t have a specific type. However, on an entirely physical basis, Irish, English and Welsh accents make me weak, soccer players pique my interest, Arab and Latino men are hot, and I am definitely a butt girl.

Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? Nope.

Biggest celebrity crush: Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Bono. I do have an entire harem of infatuations though. Ask if you wish to know more.

First celebrity crush: Tom Cruise, I was two and he stole my heart away during Top Gun. Jonathan Taylor Thomas comes in a close second; I was four and his floppy hair and cheeky smile won me over.

Ever been in love: no, I’ve thought I was falling, but I’ve become more careful about distinguishing between infatuation and love.

FUTURE:

Biggest goal in life: to be a wife, mother, and diplomat

In 10 years, you will be: going through grad school

Dream vehicle: purple Mini Cooper S, fully loaded
