6. What should every woman try at least once in her life? Going out to eat by yourself. Some people have huge issues with eating alone at a restaurant, but sometimes, you just want to eat at your very favourite sushi spot and no one is available. What's a girl to do? It can be a fantastic people-watching ability. Plus you order what you want off the menu, no pressure to split a crappy appetizer or order a salad when you really want a steak.
7. What makes you laugh? People falling down. Toddlers swearing. I can't help it, it's funny. Eli said "bullshit!" the other night and Pete and I were dying. And then we were like, that's not nice. It's funny in the privacy of your own home.
