So I’m off to South America …Il y a 162 jours
 
… with Josh! Who’d have thought my life would turn out like this? Not me! ☺

Scratch’s death made me realise how fleeting and fragile life can be, so when an opportunity like this comes along I guess you owe it to yourself to reach out and grab it. You never know where it might lead.

It’s still hard to realise that a single moment can change your whole life, or end it. Since Scratch and researching the article, I’ve realised how important it is to be aware of what’s going on around you – to be safe and make sure your mates are safe. I’m so glad I got the chance to finish the article and who knows, maybe it will help stop someone else’s life ending in such a tragic and avoidable way. It was published in the last ever edition of Wicked Magazine. You can check it out on the Wicked Magazine Bebo page.

Well, I’d best be off – adventure calls!

Speak soon,

Maybe it would be nice...Il y a 164 jours
 
in the real world if every time you were about to cross the road a singing hedgehog appeared, just like they showed us in Primary School. In fact it could appear any time life got hard, ready to sing you all the information you need about any difficult situation you face.

But we have to realize unfortunately, there just isn’t a big army of animated hedgehogs looking out for us. You’ve got to be your own hedgehog – you’ve got to know all the words to “King of the Road” and sing them to your mates. Wish I could have told Scratch that.

Be safe,
Sofs xx.

I’ve read about it....Il y a 169 jours
 
..in books, characters talking about the moment they stop being a kid. I think I know my moment. I was working at Alice’s table going through all those facts and figures about teens on the roads, trying to stop myself from thinking about Scratch in a coma. Later, I realised things have really changed, that I've really changed through this, and I think I can pin point the moment. There at Alice's table, elbow deep in figures, I grew up.

Back to school....Il y a 177 jours
 
I’ve persuaded Jill to come with me to school today. I’ve told her I really need her help, but I just hope it helps her understand that she’s not alone with the way she feels. It’s gotta be worth a try – I can’t bear her being so upset, I’ve got to try to help her haven’t I? You’ve got to try to help your mates.

Since Scratch....Il y a 183 jours
 
..it’s been like throwing a heavy brick in to a lake and watching the ripples. Because every day I speak to his friends, or friends of friends who feel responsible. They’re never going to stop thinking if they’d done something different things might have turned out better.

I know deep down what they say is true, you have to look out for your mates or the ripples keep going forever. Like Jill, she’s going on and on looking for someone to blame. I don’t know how to stop it? I wish I could find a way. Because there’s nothing we can do for Scratch now. No-one can change what’s happened, but they can look out for next time and every time. I have to find a way of making this clear for everyone.

Too international......Il y a 191 jours
 
I'm so sorry my international friends can't see my new vids. I was so looking forward to hearing what they had to say about my life with Alice, with Jill doing anything it takes to set up a label - AND being back in touch with Scratch, our new friend Ioan and my plans to be a serious journalist like David Simon (Alice says he should be my hero!). But it seems you'll have to watch the Hills or Gossip Girls or Lost instead. What a shame for me! So to try to make amends I'm sending you all a big load of luv from me Sofia to you lucky people who probably live somewhere much more fun than England. Luv, luv, luv Sofs xx.

Starting up my new video blogs....Il y a 198 jours
 
...has given me loads of time to think about what's happened since I began making them. There I was in Stockport with no idea things were about to get turned upside down, apart from the science lab being burnt down, and Mum finding those pills, and my step sis' arm. I guess there were a few clues after all.

How I suddenly got to live in London, and had to try to get on with my Dad after years, and get to know my new baby bro and SMAW – I hadn’t even properly met her before I moved down. If you don’t count their wedding!

Then there was meeting Jill, and Sean, and then having to deal with his death. I can’t believe it’s been a year. I can't believe it's a year ago that Dad made me start work at Wicked and with Rebecca who was always out to get me from the start. There was one advantage of Wicked though, getting together with Josh – I’ve quite enjoyed looking at the footage of that :)

But why am I telling you all this? You know it all, what you want to know now is what happened next ……me too…….

Hello from Sofia T......Il y a 202 jours
 
Alice still on her manic look ten years younger drive, yesterday she went to 80s style aerobics in Shoreditch. Said it was full of people ‘like me’ who have no idea ‘what it was really like in the 80s’. I could have told her that? Who else is going to go to 80s aerobics? Says her exercising in public days are at an end. I was going to suggest women her age can still play badminton but decided to stick to watching The Apprentice on the iplayer instead.
Jill’s artist Trellick (real name Justin Bevan!) has agreed to play Ioan’s bar, which has practically become Jill's offices for her 'label'. Ioan was beside himself with excitement about Jill nearly signing this artist (although she hasn’t) until he heard Trellick’s real name. Ioan was in a right mood for the rest of the day and wouldn’t top up my ice.
Alice determined to make the kids-road-death the making of her new serious slant of her career, not at all a desperate attempt to keep her job.

1 wk till my vids are back, yay, xx

Day in the life of Sofia...Il y a 205 jours
 
Alice is convinced there’s going to be mucho de layoffs at Wicked and she’s the wrong side of 35. Quite a long way on the wrong side of 35, I think. That would explain the brochures we keep getting from companies explaining how you can instantly look 10 years younger. Note to my older Sofia self: I will continue to grow old gracefully. Alice caught laughing at some of the brochures and landed me with a load more work to do, researching the facts and figures of teenage road deaths, of which there are way too many. But I had a thought about Alice, maybe it’s as if she’s suddenly bored by the whole teen thing and wants to be a serious journalist instead hence all the interest in the Daily Post. I asked her if she’d ever wanted to be a 'serious journalist' and her face went white. She didn’t even answer.
Jill has managed to persuade our new friend bar owner Ioan to let this Dubplate DJ she wants to sign to play the bar. I KNOW Ioan’s only doing it because he likes her. Jill kissed him on the cheek over the bar to say thanks and he went bright red. I notice such things, but the cynic in my thinks but is there a career in it?
Sofs xx.
ps working hard on my vids - just over a week to go....
