Hello Everybody!
Hello everyone, 
My name is Melissa and I'm 20 years old.
I live in Belgium (Flanders), but I can't seem to find any other Sherlockians around here, so I thought I'd give this forum a try. 
I'm a teacher trainee (secondary school: English as a foreign language and Dutch as a native language) and I love my future job already.
I love reading, writing, movies and shopping. I watch an enormous amount of TV-series online, I must admit... 
I've read all the Sherlock Holmes stories, and it's safe to say I'm quite Sherlocked!
Nice to meet you all ;)
Melissa aka Mell

Hi Mell, welcome here, I hope you'll enjoy being with us. Do you still have vacations at the moment?

Re: Hello Everybody!
Welcome, Mell, nice to have you here. Being Sherlocked is the only requirement for having fun here.
BTW, Benedict seems to have a preference for Belgium: he did parts of "Parade's End" there, went to the film festival in Ghent and will possibly be filming parts of the Assange film there as well.

Re: Hello Everybody!
Oh, do you really think it is the right time to begin here if your exams are next week already?

Believe me, Belgium is not the only place short on Sherlockians...
But since you're here you'll get enough Sherlock
Have fun here

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

Re: Hello Everybody!
@Davina: Thanks And haha, yes, we make the good chocolates! Actually, all the best Belgian chocolates are shipped off abroad! 
All the good brands of chocolate aren't even sold in Belgium How wierd is that? 
We make the chocolate, but we don't often get to eat it! At least, that's what they told me ^^ Guess that's good for my figure, though!

Re: Hello Everybody!
Susi is generous, remember? She shares her leftovers, and all kind of stuff I can't recall at the moment
(Forgive me, Susi, I could not resist! )
