My name's Sophie. As a child, I hated my name, both first name and surname, I longed for something more exotic, but it's really grown on me, I like it now, I'd be a different person with a different name. I'm 18, living with my parents and sister in a flat in Glasgow. I love this city, I do want to travel but Glasgow will always be my first love. I'm half Scottish and half English, I have a little Greek somewhere in there, and I think some French too. I still can't believe my father's from London and I've never been - that's definitely not right. My family isn't perfect, for the most part they aren't even particularly appealing or interesting to on-lookers, but they are my family, and I'm fine with them as they are. My name means wisdom which pretty much makes me contradiction in human form, I'm reasonably intelligent, but common sense is often somewhat lacking. My surname is always spelt wrong, and only one of my friends know my middle names. Looking at childhood photos makes me wish hair didn't get darker with age, I had the blondest curls until I was about 6, then someday, I must have magically aged and it turned darker. You win some, you loose some. When I was a child, I used to think people with blonde hair were good, and people with dark hair were bad - a modest fairytale stereotype taken a little too seriously. Needless to say, I don't still think that. I like tidy rooms, pints, drawing and doing nothing in particular. When I wrote that I like pints, I typed prints by mistake, but that is also true, why have something plain when you can have something patterned? I like when I discover something new, anything, whether it be a place, artist, singer, desginer, website, movie, TV show, shop or person, and and it's all I can think about for days. It's definitely the best when it's a person though. People fascinate me, their mentality, appearance, personality, mannerisms, interests, intentions and inspirations, not necessarily in that order. I don't like liars, one pound notes, mayonnaise and people who wear things that say "I heart NY" when they've never even been. I'm terrified of dogs and dodgem cars, or, for that matter, dogs driving dodgem cars. I'll try anything once, I'm usually scared to try new things, but I know that whenever you take a big risk, even if the results are bad, you're always glad you took said risk. I always think I'm having the best time when I'm out partying until the early hours, but truth is I'm probably at my happiest when I'm sitting in bed, painting and watching Sex and the City, or when I'm at my gran's house in Sunday afternoon's, eating scones and hearing stories about her growing up during the war. I like learning, I always seem to come into the living room when my dad's watching some documentary and I end up watching them too and usually I'm glad I did. There's so much information out there, so many opinions with details in abundance and the human mind has no storage limits, so why not stock up? People underestimating me makes me determined to proove them wrong and although there's only a few of them, my favourite thing to do is being around those I feel completely comfortable with, regardless of what we're doing. I probably spend too much time imagining how I could shape the future and wishing I could change the past but no-one's perfect and at least I can admit my flaws. Imperfections are perfection to me.
