Hi all!
Like stevenedel, I am a genuine EURObrokie, and proud to be!

My name is Melissa and I am from Holland, I am 29 years old and I live in Zaandam with my boyfriend Jan-Willem and I work as a translator/editor in Amsterdam. At the moment I am recovering from surgery on my hand, so I can't post too much, but hopefully in the next few weeks I will be able to start posting more. First time I heard about BBM was I think October 2005, that's when I read the novel and was devastated by the story. I ACTUALLY flew to London to see it before it came out in Holland! Now, I still watch it at least once every two weeks, or I have the DVD on when I am doing chores around the house, it's comforting. My sister who lives in England shares the love for BBM, and we send each other text messages such as "Eating beans again tonight" or "You bet." and "Did you see how cute Jake's hair is in the reunion scene?". It's a lot of fun. I am at the moment trying to keep my dvd in its case for at least a month, but I doubt there will be any surprises when I watch it again in a month. I guess I still hope that there is a new, happy ending every time I watch it.
Anyway, I am happy to be here and hopefully I will be here a lot more often after the recovery from my operation!
Mel
