Buzznet: Do you have a morning bathroom routine?

Buzznet: Who was your first kiss? Details … How old were you? Where were you?

Katie: My first kiss was with a boy from school, we were both 12 and we kept doing it for 2 seconds and running off. He tasted like sherbot lemons.

Buzznet: What do you have hanging on your walls in your bedroom? Posters? Artwork?

Katie: I live in a place where the wall tiles are so old and over varnished that all my posters I attempted to hang over the months don’t stay up more than a few days. The room looks like a huge flappy cheese grater.

Buzznet: Do you have any fetishes? Any pet-peeves?

Katie: I like textures. Sometimes you feel something and it takes you back to
something that you can’t place but know it existed. I like feeling
textures.

Buzznet: What is the first quality you look for in the opposite sex?

Buzznet: What do you wear to sleep at night?

Katie: Nothing unless I can find my pajamas.

Buzznet: Do you have a nickname?

Katie: Toids. That’s what [drummer, guitarist, vocals] Jules [De Martino] calls me. It’s short for Katoids. I have no idea why he calls me this.

Buzznet: What was your first job? What was your worst job?

Buzznet: If you could be in the Summer Olympics which sport would you compete in?

Katie: Show jumping. Love watching it.

Buzznet: What song do you know every word to, but are totally embarrassed that you know so well?

Katie: I have an ability to remember words from songs from one listen. I sing songs I hear around me.

Buzznet: What text message or voicemail do you regret sending to someone so much that you will never forget doing it? Who was the person?
 
Katie: Not happened to me. I’m rubbish with mobiles … always need charging.

Buzznet: Which era do you most wish you lived in and why?

Katie: I think the 60’s. It’s been said so many time before but it all exploded then.

Buzznet: Do you have any scars? If so what happened? If not name one imperfection on your body?

Katie: My arms bend outwards when I over straighten them.

Buzznet: If we gave you sourdough bread and you could put anything on your sandwich what would it be?

Katie: Olive oil.
