Have you seen how I completely stole Matt's title idea?
Ahh, that's what happens when you're dominant in the relationship ~
But anyway. Uh... I'm Sophie. Nice to meet you. I've lived in the U.S. of A. my whole life, and I quite dislike it right now, but... perhaps I'm just getting bored of this town. I was born in Pittsburgh, PA on December 2nd in 1997 - beautiful town - but almost immediately moved left. To Ohio.
Urk. I quite dislike it. I'll tell you happy memories anyway. We have a lovely, lovely house, so I really shouldn't complain, but the people are quite boring and there's nowhere to go. When I was 3 or something, that's when I started actually forming memories that I'd remember now. Like... I'd always have to chant with my mum, 'I'm a super kid and my momma loves me,' before I went into Pre-School every day, because I was always afraid. Or calling Fruit Loops 'Loop Loops' and getting teased (not badly).
When I was five or six or something I played Roo from Winnie the Pooh in some mother's day Thanksgiving show for school. I had to hug my best friend, who was Kanga, and fake cry because I hadn't gotten her a mother's day present. Pretty intense stuff. I'm still waiting for my Oscar.
Uhh... in 3rd grade I stopped going to this Christian private school (which I highly disliked, but the people in my grade weren't so bad) and moved to homeschool/cyberschool. I finished 4th and 5th in the same year, so I'm always the youngest in my class nowadays. I read a lot when I was younger. I would just check out 20 books at the library and read them all in a week, and it was wonderfully productive.
Now, not so much. But I wish I still did that.
My sister and I became best friends (she homeschooled too) when I was 8 or 9 or something. She always liked to, uh... 'test' her acting skills, which always resulted in me crying because she would pretend to hate me, pretend I'd done something awful, and then say, 'Just joking!' right when I started crying and marvel in her fantastic acting skills. It was, as you can see, the start of a wonderful relationship.
When I was about 5, I went to the coffee shop down the street and met my now real life best friend, Jordan. We played chess there all the time, even if we both weren't too good at it. She's really lovely, and mentioned here 'cause she's also a huge part of my life!
Hm. Best part about childhood, without going all the way up to now (have to wait till Saturday, right?) are probably the Christmases. In wintertime in general, my brother, sister, and I would sled-ride for hours. And we had this thing where we'd find all of the pillows in the house, put them on the stairs, and then either slide down them on our own pillow, or climb up them. Then the actual Christmas would come and we'd wake up, wait on the stairs for thirty minutes - either fighting, joking, or complaining - and then race to see who could reach the Family room for presents first.
So that's lovely. And perfect for December first!
Now it's your turn, my dear Matt ~
