Hello everyone! :)

My name is Valérie, I'm 22 years old and I live in Canada's capital, Ottawa. I'm actually a french-canad​ian. I'm studying psychology in university, I'm in my 5th year and I can't wait to be done. I'm ready to move on to something new. In 2009, I'm planning on going to teacher's college for a year to become an elementary school teacher. I'm hoping to teach 1st or 2nd grade. On top of school, I'm also working in a bookstore as a manager which is fun. I love the girls I work with but it's also challenging to manage about 15 employees at a time AND doing my own work.

I guess you could say I have two sides to my personality.​ In a one-on-one conversation​, I'm calm, quiet, and mature. But in a larger gathering, I tend to be loud, hyper, bubbly and smiley. I'm not a girly girl, I don't wear make-up or wear perfume and I don't wear skirts very often. But then again I'm not quite a tomboy but I do get along with guys, as well as I do with girls.

I'm looking for people to talk to, I don't mind where you're from as long as you write more than five lines per message. Preferably around my age (20 to 27 years old). I can speak both french AND english and I haven't had a french epal in a while.

Also, if you love the show BONES, I definetely want to hear from you!

Hobbies: Reading, writing (emails, fanfiction, songs, novels), listening to music, daydreaming to music, playing video games (THE SIMS 2, ZELDA, free downloadable​ games), hanging out with my friends, going to the movies, SHOPPING, singing, cross-stitch​ing, watching TV/movies, biking, skating, rollerbladin​g, trying to start working out again

"What did you do to this?" he asked in a horrostruck voice.
"It didn't want to come out of the dashboard."​
"So you felt the need to torture it?"
