Hello,
I'm Sophie Bonner but I answer to many others such as Dofie,
Bonn, Fruitcake, Sofiella and many more too tedious to mention...
About
me...
I'm
17, going to be 18 half way through this project.
However,
you wouldn't think so from my behaviour! For example, I have
an inability to eat with the correct table manners, instead
eating more like a pig from its trough.
Also,
the fact that I'm technologically astute, yet still have my
moments, such as regularly sending text messages accidentally
to the wrong personÂ… that person being the one I'd least
want to receive the messageÂ… very embarrassing! OhÂ…
and "sleeping with the light on"... *Breaks out
into the Busted song*
On
the plus side, I'm just a regular 17 year old. I've recently
left the sixth form at 'The High School for Girls' and I'm
nervously waiting for my A level results. I hope to go to
Cardiff University in September to study Politics and Philosophy.
Interests
Music
and lots of it! I'm mainly into rock/alternative stuff like
Incubus, Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age, Nirvana, SilverchairÂ…
and many more! I like spending lots of my time at gigs all
around the place.
However,
dare I reveal, I'm a closet Busted and McFly fan, Oh dear,
that's not so secret nowÂ… ahh well.
I
also enjoy singing, reading, writing, going to the gym and
playing the guitar. I've been playing the guitar for a few
years now and enjoy writing songs with my brother.
However,
despite trying to live a rock and roll lifestyle, I have an
altered ego, like that of Elizabeth Bennett from 'Pride and
Prejudice.' I adore the perfect lifestyle, pretty clothes,
romance and going for long walks and having picnics.
About
Blast
I
got involved in the Blast project because I've always wanted
to be a journalist. I'm especially interested in the Arts,
so this was a perfect combination as I'd be able to report
on lots of stuff I was interested in, such as music, dance
and drama.
As
I've been involved in lots of Arty stuff around Gloucestershire,
I know how important it is for teenagers to get involved in
these kinds of activities and know where to go to catch the
best shows, whether it be gigs or art exhibitions.
I
felt the Blast project would be a fantastic experience for
me and that it would give me something useful and interesting
to do in my long summer holiday.
It's
also an opportunity you can't turn downÂ… eight weeks
work experience at the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½, I'd be mental to turn such an
experience down! I've already learnt so much already and have
made friends with some of the other lovely Blast reporters.
Coming
soon...
I'll
be reporting on loads of different things, I'm going to try
and get a good mix so there's something for everyone! I have
an interview with a local young photographer lined up, reviews
of gigs and local bands, dance and music companies you can
get involved with and many more cool things.
Check
out the website every week to see the different things I've
been writing about and if you have any ideas of Gloucestershire
arty things I can write about, send them to me via e-mail
