UGH! Not fair!

So. My pauvre hostess had the flu. :-( I'm sympathetic, I am, but guess what? My teacher - my favorite teacher - is seeing movies *without* MOI! Where was she at 10pm EST last night?! At the bloody cinema seeing *gasp* Coco Avant Chanel (Coco Before Chanel is the English translation)!

Coco Avant Chanel is the film detailing Gabrielle Chanel's life before she made it big as the fashion goddess simply known as Chanel! And guess who plays the fabulous Gabrielle Chanel?! Pas Juliette Binoche, pas Marion Cotillard, mais Audrey Tautou, mon actrice preférée!!!

That's right: Mlle Laurette went to see Coco Avant Chanel starring Audrey Tautou, and where was I? Sitting on my behind halfway across the country!

Six months with one host is just too long, je suis désolée...

*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 Fair Hollow School for Girls 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 FHSG 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

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.

La Jour de la Bastille :)

Well, not that I'm home to celebrate it, but...

JOYEUX LE JOUR DE LA BASTILLE! :) 

Usually my family likes to celebrate the holiday ensemble and sometimes we'll watch the fireworks like these done over La Tour Eiffel...
