It's been a while.

I've decided to start this blog up again (as I had unintentionally forgotten about it).
Summer has started =] (in London this means less rain than normal, although this week it's been thunder and hailing like a maniac). My life is looking amazing at the moment - summer holidays are here (sun, festivals, BBQs, beaches, camping, parties, ice cream, dresses, swimming, picnics... all my favorite things!) and come September I'll be going to University (touch wood).

I couldn't be happier.

18

I'm going to be 18 in 7 days. I'm abundantly excited! I'll be eligible to vote, drink, drive, smoke - not much of a change, granted, but it'll be nice to know I don't have to run from the popo under a lot of circumstances any longer.
I just got a fringe a couple of days ago. As if i didn't look young enough as it is. I swear I look no older than 13. It's meant to be a riot offering real ID when asked for it at a pub / club / whatever, but I'm clearly going to be asked every time for the next 5+ years. It's anticipated to be a very tiresome situation.
I've also been ill for the past few weeks on and off and am just coming down from a very rambunctious flu, being left with an unyielding cough. Not such a good start to Spring, but at least it'll all be over with my my birthday, (although I hope i didn't just jinx it).
As you all know, (or should know), DeLane left VlogCountries a while ago, so we've been searching for a new Tuesday. We've yet to find someone who is from another country, speaks English and is willing to post a video once a week for our collab, but we're holding high hopes. Stephen is moving house, but sadly had no internet connection where he is going. We are unsure of how long this will last, but for the mean time it looks as though we're just left with three: Amy, Lorcan and I. If anyone is interested in filling in for Stephen once, twice or more, let us know. If you want to become a permanent member of VlogCountries and find yourself at a loss for something to entertain yourself with on Tuesdays, let us know =]

Daily Booth

I've signed u and started capturing =]
It's awesome... go and get an account if you haven't already.
Planning to make at least two videos this week for my channel... it's been over two months since I've made one and I feel terrible.
Love you all.

Snowflakes.

It's snowing! In London!
I can't remember having snow here. And it's not stopping. There are inches out there!
I know, if you live in certain parts of America or Canada this seems superfluous, but this is London. All it ever does in London is rain and fog. This is magical stuff I'm talking about.
Too bad I'm ill, so unable to celebrate with my mates :(
I've got a bad chest infection so have to stay in doors. I thought it was okay because at lease I didn't have to attend college on today (monday), but it was cancelled and everyone is off the the parks.
ARGH.
Ah well, if it keeps at this rate there will be snow for weeks :)

Makeup Vlog Request

I've had loads of requests to do a vlog about how I do my makeup, particularly the eyes.
I am, of course, going to oblige, as I love all of my wonderful subscribers and will do as thy ask (within a broad, but marginally ruled, spectrum, understandably).
I was taken by surprise even after the first request, though. I didn't I had great makeup 'skills' (?), but thank you to all those people who seem to think so! :)
I'll be making a tutorial video soon.

Flouncing

I'm catching the January sales for the first time in my life today :)
Yes, this is shocking coming from someone who's life happiness comes from purchasing new items, particularly clothing.
I can't wait.
Also, I'm going with my two girly best mates, who I haven't been out with in the longest time. I usually go shopping with guys, they tend to move a little faster, which is what I like! However, there is a huge exception to this rule of thumb, and that comes when they're buying something THEY want. They tend to spend more times than girls. Thus proving the long debated argument of women knowing exactly what they want and men just flouncing about.

I like flouncing.

Getting back into the swing of things.

I admit, it has been too long. I apologize. I have started collage again and am now just getting back into the swing of things, even though waking up at 6 (yes, I realize i said 6.30 before, but now the trains aren't working until November so it takes me an EXTRA long time to get to Ealing) is still, and always will be, the hardest thing I'm ever going to have to do.
My work load os mounting up, but I still must regain time to catch up with the internet, namely, blogging / vlogging emails, etc.
I made a new video yesterday for youtube, and thought it time to update my blog, too, as you are equally as important [:
If you want to check out my videos, most likely because you're bored of reading waffle and just want to sit back, relax and LISTEN to me waffle instead, visit www.youtube/user/sophink91 and check me out!
Speak soon.

Zulu. Sophie.
