*squirm*

Help. I'm getting so restless! I wanted to see the world, but if I'm not actually seeing it, I'd rather be back at school.

Say, being a traveling doll is really quite dangerous, isn't it? My school has hosted the two traveling dolls who've never, ever made it back home.

Oh Sophie, grow up! It's not as if you're in a dangerous place. You're just delayed...just stationed between point A and point B.

But help. Help, help, help.

I'm still here (just a bit delayed)!

Salut tout le monde,

I'm still here in Utah. While I CANNOT wait to see my next host again (hehe, I've met her once before!), my current host is still undergoing rehab-and I must be patient. Patience is a virtue that I sometimes have trouble with, so I guess now is as good a time as any to practice it.

Meanwhile, Gracie (the JLY 28 who switched with me this past spring) has made it back, and we are now discussing her stay at Parkview Ladies' College and how crazy my classmates are. If you haven't yet seen her album, you can see it if you click here.

Now, because I hate posting an update without a picture, I'll leave you with a picture from my arrival album. I officially arrived in Virginia in December 2006 and first attended PLC in January 2007. Hehe, I had everyone's attention from the moment I arrived; nearly everyone wanted to be friends with me (but BOY, do I HATE that outfit!).

Love, Sophie

YES! Maura has a (new) name!

LOL, still not Sophie, but Maura has a new name! :) It took me a while to find the perfect one, but I've decided on Maura Leigh Cassidy. Cassidy I was determined to use because it seemed to fit, and maybe because I was thinking of Lauren Cassidy, a character on a show I used to watch (if you know which show, you rock!). It's funny because I was starting to role-play her even before role-playing AGs came about. Anyway, the "Leigh" was harder. Somehow Colleen's Harper Lee Simmons got in my mind, and then I thought about one of my favorite names --> Marleigh. I was all set to just rename Maura Marleigh, but then I thought of Leigh, which made me think of Lorelai Leigh Gilmore (anyone know that show?). So...then I got Maura Leigh Cassidy. I like it. 

I mean, it's just that I didn't like her having my last name, but with my last name, she didn't have her own character. Now I use her as character in a novel without feeling as if I'm writing an autobiography. 

Anywho, her new blog (although I imported the older entries) is http://magical-maura.blogspot.com. I updated Sophie's link to it, so you can just click on that. --> I also made sure *not* to include her middle name in the URL just in case I decide to change it again, lol.

Poll on Maura's Blog (please vote)

Hi, this is Laura posting. I was wondering if you guys would take the time to vote on the poll over at Maura's (Rebecca Rubin doll) site address? You'll see the link to the right --> under the heading of "My Classmates' Blogs." Maura is seeking a new full name, particularly a last name other than my own, and since you guys helped me out in choosing Sophie's new last name, I thought I'd make another poll. Anyway, thank you so much for voting. :)

By the way, did you notice Sophie's new background? I think she likes it better than the old, though I still need to work on a header picture for her.

A Brief Interlude

Laura: "Yes, you WILL post them, Sophie..."

Me: (interrupting) "Do I have to?"

Laura: (firmly) "YES, they are your classmates, and just because you don't get along with them doesn't mean you can dismiss them."

Me: "FINE, but only because you let me go traveling."

Laura: That's a good girl.

***

D'accord, a brief interlude from my regular blog. Laura wants me to let all of my readers know about my classmates' various blogs. In the right column over there ---> , you will see Lindsey's blog on LiveJournal and Maura's blog on WordPress. Maura's is completely new apparently, and Lindsey's on her second one after having apparently deleted her first one. Check them out if you want. Lindsey writes a lot like those narcissistic twins, Kit-Kat (but she was/is friends with them), and Haley, Maura's similar to you.

Joyeux Anniversaire à Moi!

C'est mon anniversaire, et je veux faire une fête! Oui, j'ai 13 ans aujourd'hui, et je suis une adolescente! :)

C'est l'anniversaire d'Audrey Tautou aussi. Elle est mon actrice favorite, et nous partageons une anniversaire--très super dans mon livre! 

It's my birthday, and I want to party! Yes, I am 13 today, and I am a teenager! :)

It is also the birthday of Audrey Tautou. She is my favorite actress, and we share a birthday--very cool in my book!

That said, since my host is recuperating from knee replacement surgery, I won't be celebrating my special day other than this post...so, if you want to see how I've celebrated my birthday in the past, check this video out.

New Video of Moi & An Update :)

Hi all! Laura just finished making a video compilation of various pictures of me. I thought that I'd share it here, since the pictures *are* of me. It's pretty cute and set to one of favorite French songs, "Ma Jeunesse" by Carla Bruni (the French-Italian singer/songwriter who just happens to be France's First Lady!). 

Anyway, let me know what you think, and if your owner/mother/big person has a Youtube account, go ahead and friend Laura's account (if they haven't already). 

Her link is here.

In other news, I took a trip to California last week! I went with Mrs. Jeanette and her friend Kathrine (from Denmark!) on their trip to AGPLA and other sites around Los Angeles. Kathrine and I had never visited California before, so it was a treat for both of us--and Kathrine got herself a new girl so I had someone to get to know on the trip back to Utah.  

OH and the best news is that I got to meet Mrs. Sheila and her girls (yup, including Bossy Amanda)  in Corona, CA as well--Laura's very, very jealous of that! She's been to California herself, but only once, despite having family in Ojai and a mother who grew up on the Central Coast. 

Pictures will be posted if/when Mrs. Jeanette posts them on AGFans.
