Katie Revealed: Part 3

Yes, yes...more random facts...remember, it's all for journalistic purposes.

11. What kind of vehicle do you drive?
I enjoy the occasional trip to Smith's grocery store in my 2006 Silver Nissan Altima. That baby has excelled through several road trips to and from Utah and has also been the source of one or two good pull-over stories. Believe it or not, but I was actually pulled over for drunk driving once. Was I drunk? Of course not! I think cops just like to pick on 17-year-old girls who look like their 14. The best part was when the cop asked me to get out of the car and then proceeded to check my vehicle for empty beer bottles and drugs--all in front of the Mountain View High School main office.

12. What are your favorite clothes?
Nothing quite describes comfort like my navy blue basketball shorts paired with a matching t-shirt and light jacket. I'm all about the simple casual. However, I don't mind dressing up now and then. I've just never been much of a fashion guru. If any of you have seen my younger cousins you'll understand what I mean. They all dress like they're 21: super cute, chic and stylin'. I should take lessons. Alas, my b-ball shorts will suffice. For now at least.

13. Where would you visit if you had the chance?
This is easy: Maccu Piccu, Greece, Paris and New Zealand. Also, I want to go to Austria, Switzerland and back to Italy. Ciao bella! Seriously, nothing thrills me more than being able to sit in the middle of a foreign city listening to a guitarist pluck a cultural tune, watching children run with pastries from the little shop on the corner, or tasting the strong spices of lamb kababs. So good!

14. Cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full?
Definitely depends on the liquid and/or contents. For example, fill my cup 1/2 way with frozen m&m's and I'll always feel bamboozled. (I love frozen chocolate!) Fill my cup 1/2 way with gummy bears, and I'll most likely ask you to just get rid of it.

15. Where would you want to retire?
(This answer is subject to change as far as geographical characteristics are concerned.) Any place with mountains. And maybe a beach. And probably not too far away from family. I want to grow old with my husband, and be close to my children, grandchildren, etc. I want my descendants to know who I am and where they come from.
