Hello all, I'm
The Alchemist as opposed to the person of the nearly-identical name Alchemist
registered within hours of each other
. So much for individualism, right?
Sigh...
In any case I should probably make a good case to differentiate myself. I'm a 22 year old who has just returned from a fantastic trip in the Canary Islands (where I travel to as much as I can afford) to Ireland where I was born and raised. I'm currently in my third year of university (out of four) which I'm told is meant to be the hardest, so why not sign up to a pop forum? What could possibly go wrong? ..... Actually I've been lurking for sometime and am excited to have joined.
I suppose a tl:dr of my profile would be thus: I love books and I love films but both are dwarfed in comparison to my love of music. I worship music: I always have and always will. When I was six the only time I cried during a 14-hour car trip was when the batteries in my cassette player died and we didn't have any replacement batteries (an emergency gas stop was made). At that time I had only two tapes, Aqua's Barbie Girl (my tastes have become somewhat more refined) and Air's Moon Safari (nope I still adore that album). Currently I hold a special place for pop music but I'm not defined by that genre, likewise I don't really conform to any particular pop tribal group but I would say I like Britney, Lana and Gaga the most.
So I look forward to meeting you all and hope my sense of humour doesn't get me into that much trouble.
