i haven't been on here is sooo long. i'd forgotten about it.

so much has changed in my life. in fact everything is different.
i have a whole new set of friends, for reasons that are unknown to me, still.
i'm setting up my acting career, i have an agent, i'm in short films and i've done modeling work too.
my family is great. i have a new baby cousin, two of my cousins might be getting married and everyone is healthy.
school is fine, kinda stressful with assignments and tests that i procrastinate out of, but generally fine.
i've taken on way too many activities and it's driving me a little crazy, but i wouldn't have it any other way.
i've reached 5ft11''. finally! aiming for 6ft.
i'm learning ukulele, and playing more music on guitar. the songs i write are better, and i'm more confident about playing them to people, even if they're not that subtle.
but my life is just generally DIFFERENT.
and i like it, cause i'm having fun.
sometimes, i remember how things use to be, what i use to do, who i was friends with , and it gets me down, but you know what. screw it.
MY LIFE IS FREAKING GREAT NOW.
yeah.

Tomorrow is my day of birth

2009-03-13T02:09:00.000-07:00

I use to be young once...

Hey look, it's me being a poser.
I began at a young age.

Fourteen years since I was born. I'm in trouble for writing things on this blog, but they didn't say anything about writing in French...

Je vais à quatorze, et il va être incroyable. Le parti est en soulignant moi un peu, mais je sais que quand il commence, je vais juste en profiter! J'aime ma famille et mes amis qui font de ma vie étonnante. 2009 est mon année, s'il vous plaît m'aider à le rendre encore plus étonnant! Je t'aime!

Oui oui,
have anice weekend, i know i will!

Happy Valentine's Day

My valentine is Kate Morrison. Who's yours?

Happy!
Xoxo

P.S.
Sam Valentine...this is your day

The way to my heart is through t-shirts representing my love for US cities

2009-01-28T02:21:00.000-08:00

Sorry, do you have a I heart NY t-shirt? NO, I don't think you do. Because you don't have an awesome best friend who just happened to be wondering through the streets of New York and thought of me. So now I have a I heart NY t-shirt and guess what, it smells like tequilla. Yep.

God I love you Kate.

Photographs I didn't take

2009-01-28T02:04:00.000-08:00

Wish I did. I am also unable to link anyone's photos so i apologise to all who's these photo's are. Forgiveness is in need. Someday I'll learn...

Looooooooooooove this dress.

My hair = not this cool.

Yes, this is better than the lion costume, because it looks like where the wild things are (they're so making a movie of that [cannot wait!])

Still waiting for stupid winter to FINALLY COME!

Lordy be, i want this dress.

Oh jolly! School tomorrow, how exciting!

Some random things I call clothing

2009-01-28T01:53:00.000-08:00

Be jealous of my blue polka dot peep toe shoes from Bondi Markets. 5 Bucks people. Be jealous.

I believe you can never wear a dress too much. Never.

That's right, I know how to make singles out of pillow cases. Cause I'm cool like that.

This is my showcase concert outfit. Pretty Plain, pretty cool.

Some random late night photographs that rock

2009-01-27T05:00:00.000-08:00

I really should go to sleep.
Nighty Night
xx

Yes, I know it's 11:39 at night

2009-01-27T04:35:00.000-08:00

But tonight is the very last night that i can stay up really really really late, and still be able to move in the morning...seeing as i can sleep in. Tomorrow is the last day of holidays (boo). i'm kinda happy to be getting back to school (shock horror) because as much as I love sleeping in until 4 o'clock and watching mindless day time tv, I can feel my brain slowly turning into mush at lack of decent education. There's only a certin amount of knoledge the history chanel can smush into your mind. But they will tell you other wise so be warned. ANYWAY. There is also that added bonus of seeing all those crazy friends of mine, but you know, that's just a bonus.

This kid looks pretty cool with his lion costume. If only i had a lion costume. Oh the things i could have done.

So today, I've been doing some crazy kid thinking. And I've been a thinking, that iiiiiiiiiiiiiif I were to make a clothing line, I would offically name it...

"I'm Calling For Sophie"

Being the attention seeker that I am, there is a super need to include my offical birth name, to let everyone know that I used my awesome designing powes to create this brand. Also the fact that i cannot call it 'Sophie', as it doesn't have that wonderful ring like 'Chloe' or 'Coco Channel'. But you know, it's a curse.

Well these guys are just lucky to have all those awesome cameras. And the couple on the right is just plain sweet.

Anyway...I was a-thinking that i could buy some cheapish tees and singles and stich on some oh-so-gorgeous ribbon, material and other pretty things and make nice shirts for nice girls.
So what do you think?

i heart www.thecoolhunter.com.au so damn much. Dude, these guys know cool.

Today I've been a-reading 'style rookie' which is a pretty cool fashion blog, done by a cool 12 year old named Savi. If I new how to, i would so like her, but guys, i'm not that smart. Now she's pretty lucky to have an awesome sense of style, and also a pretty rockin hair cut. After reading for a while i have kinda gathered she lives somewear in the US. This blog has increased my pissed offynessness at the Australian system to wear uniforms to school. Yer yer, stop bullying and such, but i'd be pretty cool to wear random stuff every day. Dude, i mean come on, she wore a random basket the other day. That's pretty out there. Anyway, she's also fuled me wishing it was winder again 'cause i want to buy so seriously awesome bommer jackets and just wear them all the time. I say one at the shops today and i SWEAR i almost died, it radiated coolness, which i pointed out to Hatti and Kasia and Becci. When winter comes, my wardrobe will be decked out.

So now it's late and my eyes beginning to take longer to blink, and i better get back into my bed and catch some zzzzzzz's.

Oh and one last thing....

Amelia has to go to school tomorrow, and I get an extra day off. Cause I'm cool like that.

So it's Australia Day on Monday

2009-01-23T16:00:00.000-08:00

What are you doing?

Bunking For Barack

2009-01-20T04:47:00.000-08:00

It's 11:48pm.
Amelia, my sister and I are staying awake. We're waiting. Waiting for Barack Obama. For a speech that will change history. A day that will change history. A man that will change history. So in honor of this day. We are staying awake until Obama delivers his speech, at 3:25. So it's a candlelit partay. 'Cause we're cool like that.

Besides being the first African American President, what is Barack Obama going to bring to the United States of America, and also, to the world. What changes will he make, ideas will he bring, and prospects will he foster. How will he change history?

p.s. Sorry about my lack of posts. Holidays are busy. Oh and Happy 2009!!!

Xx S

12:00am
My I also comment that Barack Obama has very straight white teeth. Just thought I'd tell you that. Goodnight, oh wait, good morning!

Growing Up

2008-12-08T02:03:00.000-08:00

I currently hate being a teenager. I'm a grown up when it's convenient for adults then a kid when it's convenient. Grow up, your not a kid the next minute, then no, your too young, your just a kid. Would they make up their minds?

And holidays. Why does no-one seem to understand that I don't want to go away all summer holidays. I want to spend time with my friends. All adults seem to want to do on holidays is sleep in and wander around the house, taking in the sights. Can't we DO something? Is that to much to ask? Or will we spend another day being lazy in a house even though we are in Queensland (with no people my age).

I'm sorry I'm just in a crappy mood tonight.

Hope your having a nice night.
xoxo
P.S HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRIET MY LOVE!!

All in the name of straight teeth

2008-11-02T00:01:00.000-07:00

I got my expander on Friday. I hurts. A lot. And I'm over it. So over it. Now I'm grumpy. Ouch Ouch Ouch. If you don't know what and expander is, it's an instrument of touchier. But it's meant to expand your jaw so that your teeth can spread out. Sounds painful? It is. My head is aching, it hurts to bite and I am dead hungry but it hurts like hell to bite. Eating is really hard cause there is about a 5mm gap between the roof of my mouth and the expander. And i have to deal with it for 6 months. I'd rather have braces.

I have home work but I've been meaning to post some more. I will.

xoxo

Finally Done

2008-10-19T01:14:00.000-07:00

I finally finished the quilt for Jane. I hope she likes/liked it. I like making quilts. But they can be quite evil. And my darling mother and I finished the flapper dresses. They were both big big big hits at the party.

Sweet Thing

2008-10-17T00:21:00.001-07:00

A Sweet thing was born.
A sweet thing was born.
He isn't very big.
He isn't very strong.
But he will grow big.
But he will grow strong.
He will be smart.
He will be kind.
And most of all.
He will be loved.

Charlie Wallace-Gebbit was born on Thursday 16th October 2007. He is a sweet thing.

UPDATE!
Sorry darling Hatti

It's Charlie Wallace-Gebert. I just can't spell. Congrats Jane and Teo!

Back from Holidays

2008-10-07T20:55:00.001-07:00

I went to Dubbo on Friday. To visit a very good friend. With another very good friend. We caught the train. Then went bowling and to the zoo, and horse riding, and shopping and many other things. And now I have a I Love Dubbo t-shirt and many fond memories.

And photos are yet to come!

Oh and this...

Ah ah ah ah ah. I'm a bit bored and I'm feeling particualy uncreative today. My guitar is out of key and my songs dont sound right. And I have stacks of homework I should do. And I need to finish sewing my flapper dress. And start Harriet's. And finish a Baby Blanket for Jane.

But I'm not going to do any of those things. I'm going to cook something. Cause i can!

Oh and by the way Harriet, I did have a secret! It was those two pencil rolls! Hope you like them!

Have a nice day all!

xxSophie

If your Kasia please stop reading!

2008-09-29T20:06:00.001-07:00

I made this on Sunday. My sewing machine decided to be a pain and it ran out of blue thread half way through. The blue sun material is a favorite of mine. It's a old sarong that didn't fit me anymore. This is for a special friends birthday and I HOPE aksai (that's jumbled people!) doesn't read this...but it's pretty!

My camera decided to be really annoying and make all my pictures blurry. Oh well. And the dogs a camera hog so she popped in one of the photos.

And now I've got a baby quilt to finish for a friend's pregnant mother, a purple flapper dress and a green flapper dress to start and a secret. He he he Hatti!

Have a nice day!

Hey all,

EEEEK! Found this website!
http://aprintaday.blogspot.com/
It's oozing with cuteness! I printed out the cute little Kokeshi tags for Harriet's and my bag on the train to Dubbo. Unfortunatly my printer decided to be anoying and refuse to print in colour, so they are slightly less cute. But still pretty awesome!

10 Things You Didn't Know About Me

2008-09-27T00:03:00.000-07:00

1. When I leave school I want to be a fashion designer, costume designer, costume coordinator, writer, singer, or shop owner. I really can't imagine myself sitting a computer all day typing things for some big company that only thinks about money. Yuck! Do what you love and love what you do. That's my motto.

2. I'm obsessive compulsive about decorating. My room is seriously over pimped. Seriously.

3. I play the oboe, which is a double reeded instrument. It looks a bit like a clarinet but doesn't sound like it. When first learning to play, I sounded like a choking duck or my favorite, a drowning cat. Now days, I'm a lot better. I really suck at scales though and I stuffed up my Grade 4 exam due to it. I passed with a C. Go me.

4. I over stress about school, and up to a point where i get head miles. Head miles is where you mind moves too fast due to lack of sleep or stress. It feels like you are going really really fast. Like someone hit fast forward. Sometimes it's a fun experience and I enjoy the rid. But sometimes it's horrible and scary.

5. As it seems, when I cram for tests, I always manage to do better than when i study. Not sure why.

6. I always give people presents that I've made them like bags and pencil rolls and canvas' with photos and art on them, cause I have no money to buy anything. The always seem to be loved though, cause they were made from the heart!

7. I borrow so many books from my school library that the Librarian knows who I am, reserves books for me and buys books especially for me. The other day she even asked me why I hadn't come the day before!

8. I read other peoples blogs so much. Too much. Some every day in fact.

9. I hide my age. All the time. It's best too. No-one takes a 13 year old seriously. They treat you as kids. First of all, in real life I don't look 13. In fact, I've had to show my student pass with my age at the movies cause they wouldn't let me buy a child ticket. I want cheap movies damn it. In the world of blogging, as soon as you say, 'Hey, my names Sophie, I'm thirteen, I really like your blog', they say stuff like, 'Oh gosh sweetie pie, so glad you enjoy my blog, but are you sure your allowed to be on this site? Can i talk to your mummy or daddy please cutie?' Okay , I may be gorgeous, but I'm not that kind of cute. Can I just have some respect?

10. My friends and family mean to world to me. I can't get by without them helping me. They have helped me through some really tough times and there are some I can never repay.

So did you learn something new?

Have a nice evening. I feel like a nice slice of blue cheese. How about you?

Random Art and Craft

2008-09-26T23:39:00.000-07:00

Here are a few things I've made recently...

1. Lovely bag made out of my famous 'happy fruit' material, for my friend Georgina's birthday.

2. Slightly demented Barbie fashion. I thinking about what I might do as a HSC textiles entry so i tested it out on Barbie dolls. It turned out pretty well except i cant get them off without destroying them. Therefor, it wouldn't work in real life. but I've had another idea...I'll have to test it soon...

3. Wave Paintings. Another obsession. I've done several in different colours. I added words to this one too. It's hanging on my door.

Have a nice Saturday

xxSophie

Black is the New Black

2008-09-26T23:30:00.000-07:00

I relised to day. I have an obsession. With black. I think that's a good thing? Because I have:

Four black dresses

Two black skirts

Three pairs of black pants

One black blazer

Two black jumpers/cardies

and

Five pairs of black shoes

Favoritism? Obsession? I'm not sure. But the dress I bought today is pretty. So, so?

sorry it's a crappy shot

have a nice day

It's a little bit Spooky

2008-09-26T23:20:00.000-07:00

Did i tell you? I'm directing a short film. We finished yesterday. Editing was fun! It's a thriller, featuring my voice as the news reporter. And being director meant that i could boss everyone around and not get in trouble.

If you want to see, 'When a Stranger Calls', its world premiere is Friday 10th of October in Balmain.

We decided to take photos of all the cast and crew for the credits. It had to be creepy. Here's mine...

Have a nice day!

Homophobia

2008-09-23T23:39:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine anounched he was gay recently. He’s pretty awesome. Today at sport, he was going about his serious dancer ways (i.e. doing the splits and such), and group of boys from another school came over to us and asked him if he was gay. He said “Yes I am. Got a problem with it?” They then laughed and said’ “AWWWWWWH What a Poofter!” What ever that is anyway. How cruel can you get?

I am very proud to say that my school has a great acceptance to gays and lesbians. This is probably because there are quite a few who attend. I don’t understand homophobia at all. Why discriminate someone over their sexual preferences. That’s just shallow.

Have a nice afternoon.

This is me

2008-09-22T23:52:00.000-07:00

This was Sunday. It's my favorite top.

Hello it's nice to be here!

2008-09-22T23:04:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! I've done it! I've finally done it! I made myself a blog! This is something very new but absolutely fabulous. I can't wait to get started.

First off, my name is Sophie. I am thirteen years old and I have a strong opinion about most things. I made this blog to post art, fashion, ideas, craft, poems, stories and the experiences of my short life and the future.
