About Me

Why hallo thaaar
I'm Sophie, or just spoh, whatever floats your goat. Currently studying first year Bach of Science at UWA. Love uni - it's awesome.
Absolutely love musical theatre - best thing ever invented. We should find the person who invented it and give them cookies. They deserve it. So anyway, pretty much if it's a musical, I'll love it, but I do give preference to my dearest ones, as in all the German language ones I have managed to get my hands on so far - Tanz der Vampire, Elisabeth, Rebecca. They just seem to get what makes musical theatre great - amazing vocals, extravagant sets, brilliant orchestration and the symbolism...s'great. Also big love to Phantom of course, and Les Miserables - two essentials.
I love travelling - should have been born with a built in extendable handle and wheels. The smell of av-gas and the sound of case wheels on pavement make me extremely happy. Recent adventures include Melbourne with Lana last year, Singapore in 2005 as well as Mt Hotham. And of course, even though I havent been in a few years, arriving at the Eiger Chalet in Perisher always makes me feel like I've arrived home. Plans for the future involve Sydney with Alysha later this year if Phantom tours there, WICKED, RUFUSPANTS maybe in late January if I'm very very lucky, and of course Rowany Festival :D
I'm one of those insane Medieval SCA types you hear about so often (and proud of it), and it's absolutely the best thing. What could be better than sewing and wearing Medieval garb, running around Perth with pointy swords, scaring mundanes, and the awesome dancing of course? Absolutely love all the people I've met, have so many great times :D
General things about me - I procrastinate most expertly, am always late, extremely indecisive, I am a nerd to the nth degree, most definitely am NOT ticklish, I never get enough sleep, when I'm hungry I get violent, I get addicted to things very easily (never give me drugs, plzkthx!) I like jumpers, have a thing for pirates, vampires and anyone who is capable of swashbuckling, love the beach and my dogs, can be very impatient, leave everything to the last minute, am masterful at using chocolate for blackmail and coersion, but sadly am easily blackmailed when there is chocolate to be had.

My Interests

musical theatre, dancing, music, regency england, vampires, German-language musicals, SCA, adventures, swashbuckling, getting medieval, fencing, old books, costuming, sewing, pub o'clock

I'd like to meet:

This guy. Otherwise known as Mate Kamaras ( here he is again with Lukas Perman) I also need to meet Uwe Kroeger and Pia Douwes, two more very amazing people. Also Rufus Wainwright , simply because he is the most fabulous singer/songwriter on the face of the earth equal only perhaps to his sister Martha. Others include Serkan Kaya, Jesper Tyden, Aris Sas, Maya Hakvoort, Drew Sarich, and Cornelia Zenz. Finally, Steve Barton , but sadly that is never going to happen. =(
