Hi everyone
I am a 15 year old female thing from Seoul, Korea, on the Internet I go by several names such as Hyunsoo (my real name), Iracebeth, Iracy, Psyche, Psychedelia, Salacia, etc. But you can just call me Salacia.
I guess I'm a new fan since I discovered David Bowie around a month ago - living in Asia where most people have never heard of Rihanna or Adam Lambert, let alone Bowie, I started getting my first Bowie references here and there on the Internet only a few months ago. Then around June I looked up this David Bowie fellow on Google Images and found him.... actually kinda hot. And then I looked up his music. I listened to all of two songs on Youtube, I believe they were "Space Oddity" and "As The World Falls Down."
I fell in love.
I am a self-proclaimed pervert and procrastinator. I am, sadly, not an alligator, though it would be awesome to introduce myself as such. I love reading and going to sleep listening to music and purple lip gloss and potatoes. I am a Christian and a David Bowie fan and I'm still wondering if I just contradicted myself in that last sentence. I am Korean but I hate most of my own country's music. I am learning guitar from an awesome guy who is also a Bowie fan - he's told me that the "Psychedelia" part of my ego was predestined to discover and love David Bowie.
Salacia, Psychedelia, Iracebeth, and Hyunsoo actually compose my four-part ego. Hyunsoo is an ordinary Korean kid who's sort of freaky good at English for a Korean kid and a model student and polite to most adults. Salacia hopes she's funny and always making bad jokes, and is somewhat more than slightly perverted. She's the ego that wants to bang David Bowie the hardest, but it's my theory she's also a closeted romantic. Iracebeth is the debater, logical but fiery and whenever someone badmouths or just implies to badmouth Bowie or anything else she loves she will kill them with f-bombs and logical insults. Psychedelia is slightly crazy, loves things that don't make sense, and is undefinable. All four egos love David Bowie with a passion. I've been these egos on and off but right now I'm Salacia with a little Psyche on the side.
At school I was virtually the only one who knew who David Bowie was and now after blabbering on about him to anyone who would listen for more than a few seconds I'm sure a few more people know him but I'm still the only fan. I'm happy I discovered this forum - I needed people, preferably around my age, to empathize with and "fangirl" with. (Did I just use "fangirl" as a verb?
) Even if only a few members are active I'm still very happy to discover this site and meet you guys. I was so happy I even made that banner in my signature with my crappy graphics skills (I can't claim that avatar though, that one I stole from the Internet).
I look forward to a wonderful time with you guys (or gals), exploring the many wonders of the man whom we call Bowie. Thank you if you read this overly long introduction and bye for now
