About Me(lle)
I'm a twenty years old girl named after a book character, I was born on the same day as my great grand father a hundred years later. I have many nicknames but my friends usually call me Melle. I speak french, english, italian and understand a little bit of german - emphasis on the little. I travel a lot and I love living in different countries. My family is very important to me. I have two sisters whom I am very close to and a darling eight years old little brother who enjoys antagonizing me and is way too smart for his own good. I consider myself to be very driven, opinionated and open minded. I'm also very bossy and you could say procrastinating is my way of life. I love deadlines because it forces me to write under pressure and apparently it's what works best for me. Last but not least, I'm "obsessed" with penguins, I just love them. Oh, I also hate slippers. I never wear them, never have, never will - I know, I'm such a rebel *face palm*.

Tv Shows I ♥
Right now: How I met your mother, White Collar, Bones, Once upon a time, Grey's Anatomy
Past:
Friends: This show was made of so much win that I shouldn't even have to explain why. Dawson: I started watching when I was about eleven, I use to love it so much at the time. The finale had me and a bunch of friends literally in tears. Mmmm... Good times :-) Gilmore Girls: I loved this show, everything about it was so great. The dialogs were perfection, and the cast stellar. Ten years and still loving it.
One Tree Hill: It kind of took over for me when Dawson's ended. I loved the first seasons, but I stopped watching after Lucas and Peyton left. .
Smallville: Chloe Sullivan, Oliver Queen and of course Chlollie!
