1. What is something about you that most people don't know?
I over-think EVERYTHING.

A dog. We'd go swimming, play fetch, and pant with our tongues out together in the shade. I can see the montage now...

3. What is your greatest indulgence?
Expensive haircuts. They're worth it!

4. What was your favourite television show of all time?

Love is everywhere. Next time you make eye contact with someone, just smile and feel loved.
