My Life from A to Z

A – Age: 36

B – Best Friend: My mom. Ever since I lived with my parents after I dropped out of college at age 21, my mom and I have been really close. She’s the person I go to with everything.

C – Choice of Meat: Beef. Preferably steak, but pretty much any cut of beef will do, so long as it’s rare to medium-rare. Prime rib and T-bones are my favorite cuts. Duck comes in at a close second.

D – Dream Date: Any. I’ve never dated so have never been out on a date. But something pretty traditional—dinner at a comfortable restaurant (not one of those fru-fru/expensive/ultra-trendy places) and then either a show at TPAC or a movie—and then a couple of hours sitting in the car (or on the front porch) just talking afterward.

E – Exciting Adventure: Every time I write a novel. As someone who’s not adventurous at all, that’s where I get most of my excitement.

F – Favorite Food: (see Choice of Meat above for individual dish.) Favorite “genre” of food is Mexican.

G – Greatest Accomplishment: Completing my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees as a nontraditional adult student while working full time.

H – Happiest Day of Your Life: So far, my grad-school graduation.

I – Interests: Writing, movies, reading, football (as I said, I don’t lead a very adventurous life)

J – Joke: Two blondes walked into a bar—CLANK!

K – Kool-Aid: Green (lime, I think) and Red (cherry). Grape makes me nauseated.

L – Love: Mom and Dad and their constant, unwavering support.

M – Most Valued Possession: I’d have to say my computer, because it’s where all my stories are and how I communicate with most of the people in my life.

N – Name: Katherine Nell. “Kathy” or “Kat” to my family and people I met before 1996. “Kaye” to friends/professionally. “Kiki” to my closest friends from grad school. “Kitten” to my mom.

O – Outfit You Love: Black yoga/“exercise” pants, long-sleeved, logoed t-shirt, and furry house-shoes. I put this on every night when I get home and live in it on the weekends (yes, the pants and shirts get washed OFTEN).

P – Pizza Toppings: Pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, and jalapenos for a traditional “red” pizza. Spinach and mushrooms for a “white” pizza. And Rosemary Chicken for a California Pizza Kitchen “gourmet” pizza. Oh, and Bleu cheese, spinach, and mushrooms for a pizza at DaVinci’s (a local Nashville restaurant).

Q – Question Asked to You the Most: “How did you get to be so gorgeous?” But seriously, “Does this need a comma?”

R – Radio Station: My radios at home and in the car are all tuned to NPR.

S – Sport: LSU Football

T – Television Show: Right now, Heroes. In February, it will be LOST.

U – Umbrella in the rain?: I have naturally curly/frizzy hair, so I always use an umbrella. And almost always wear my raincoat too.

V – Video: Since I don’t watch music videos, I’ll say my favorite DVD is . . . um . . . er . . . well, since I can’t name just one favorite, the one I’ve watched most often recently is A Christmas Story.

W – Winter: Second favorite season (to Autumn). Football bowl games, wearing sweaters and long sleeves, not having to shave my legs every day (because I’m always wearing jeans/pants not skirts or capris), the relief from the heat of summer, the sound of leaves crunching underfoot, and, of course, the holidays!

X – X-rays recently?: Yes–chest x-ray in September

Y – Year Born: 1971

Z – Zodiac Sign: Gemini
