Sofia lives in Berlin with her twin, Griswald, his pets, and her pet chow chow, Pfeffer. She keeps the apartment decorated with several plants, all of which have names, and has a few plots at the nearby community garden. She often dresses in business casual dark clothing, especially when going out. At home, she’ll dress more comfortably. She likes to spend her time at home tending to her plants while listening to her phonograph, or curled up with Pfeffer, drinking wine and reading one of her favourite books.

Broken down by her past and mental state, Sofia tends to lash out at people. She has a lot of pride, and often gets defensive when called out for messing up, and will rarely admit to being wrong. Sofia rarely willingly truly opens up for people she’s not completely comfortable around, and this has led to her becoming something of a recluse. When she isn’t angry, she’s often quite depressed. She’s most vulnerable to others and herself during this time. Sofia yearns for love and affection, but her nature to defend herself from pain has prevented anything close to what she wants. Having been hurt multiple times has left her cynical and cold to those she doesn’t trust. It takes a long time for her to fully trust anyone, though it's relatively simple to make her comfortable enough to talk. Sofia is often brutally blunt when speaking, especially once she opens up about herself, however, it’s not always obvious how exactly she feels about certain things in her past, especially when it comes to everything that happened with her parents. She tries quite hard, with varying degrees of success, to swallow all her emotions about herself, and never express to strangers when something hurts. To her friends, though, she’ll mostly feel free to let her emotions run wild.

My First Russian Birthday Party

Today (Oct. 7) was Nastya's Fifth Birthday (aka the princess in the picture. She's the oldest of the three little girls I live with). ..It was also Putin's Birthday, funny enough. Anyway! the entire host family (minus one, who was working) gathered in the cramped kitchen to celebrate. It was nice that they invited me, too. We sat around the сладкий стол ("sweet table") which was covered with marshmallows, bananas and oranges, some apple sauce thing made of sliced apples, cinnamon and honey, and last but not least: a homemade apple пирог (pirogi), which is a traditional russian pastry made of dough and filling. They can be sweet or savory.

But in this case, it was more like a pastry cake. On the "cake" written in pieced of rolled dough, was written с Днём Рождения! (Happy Birthday). Don't be discouraged if you can't read it on the picture above - it's upside down :)

When everyone was there, 5 candles were placed in the pirogi, lit, and the lights were turned off, just like they would have been in the US. But unlike the US, we didn't sing any birthday songs, or any songs at all, for that matter. Nastya blew out the candles, the lights were turned back on, and we all cheered. After the pirogi was served (with ice cream), and tea was passed around, Nastya's mom, Julia (in photo), gave a toast about how great a child Nastya is, and we all ate, talked, and drank tea.

Then came the presents. For her Birthday, Nastya got some glitter gel pens from her two 3-year-old twin sisters (haha), some children's books from her mother, and her first camera from her father. Of course, the camera was a huge hit and Nastya began take close-up's of everyone at the table. "And that's the end of our peaceful lives," joked Paulina, Julia's sister.

Overall a successful Birthday, I'd say.

What did I give her, you ask? Well, lucky for me, I had been saving some gifts I brought from the US. I gave her a pillow pet :) She loves it - and so do her sisters.

I wish I took more pictures - like a group shot - but maybe I can get some photos from Paulina. If I do, I'll post them later.
