oh i love a bit of cake

so today i was walking down the street, listening to music and thinking about how nice it is when the sun shines in glasgow.
all of a sudden i felt something hitting me in the back of my head. i took the earphones out, turned around and saw two maybe 12 year old boys giggling extremely hard. then i touched my head and realized i had cake in my hair.

someone threw a cake at me! a cake! on the street in the middle of the day! completely unprovoked!

so i got really really mad. or maybe just a bit annoyed. then i put my hat on to camouflage my cakey head and then i started laughing. and i laughed and laughed for about two blocks and people stared at me, walking alone, laughing my ass off.

how often do people throw a cake at you?
i realized this day was special and i am going to make the most out of it.

let's have a shower and get rid of the cake first though.

sofie's blog pt 2: the revival

following the recent trend among my friends: my blog is alive, once again.

when i moved to glasgow there were a few things i was looking forward to:

-living in a city
-going to concerts
-meeting lots of new people
-being close to nico

after living in glasgow for half a year i have reached certain conclusions:

-living in a city isn't really cool unless you know your way around. like, you get on a bus and know where it's going.
-i don't really live in a city: i think i'm destined to living on top of a hill and my school happens to be on the same hill (once again), so even though this particular hill is in the middle of the city, the bubble feeling remains
-concerts rock my socks off and i love glasgow for it. all my life (or, for ca two years) i have been so envious of all those california kids and their gigs, but now i live in the california of europe (debatable).
-well meeting lots of new people. i sure did. and then most of them turned out to be california kids or maybe maryland kids, ohio kids or even turkey kids. so they left me. and now i'm trying to decide: do the great people that are still around me outweigh the lack of the people who used to be around me (both here and in india)?
-and nico? well. close, but not there.

i'm starting to question my sanity:
would i actually prefer heatrashes and frogs in the toilet to no heatrashes and definitely no frogs in the toilet?

i need to wake up and make the most of what's there.
i think the problem is the lack of lack of things.
yes, in a fundamental way.
