I like how the German language allows for people to have definite articles. In English, you wouldn't say, "the Michelle" in answer to the question, "Who writes this blog?"
But in German, you would. And because nouns have genders, it would be a cute little feminine "die," pronounced "dee," that goes along with my name.
"Wer schreibt diesen Blog?"
"Die Michelle."
Cute.

Ich liebe das auch! Ich habe über das in mich immer hineingelacht.
I LOVE this blog! It's so funny and you're such a good writer...
Thanks for the compilments on my photographs, it always makes me happy when somebody likes them :)
FYI: adding an article to a person's name is actually more common in the south of Germany.
