Reality Check II
I lied in my previous post. I don’t do any of that, even if I should.
What I really do is reading the Bohemian Manifesto; a Field Guide to Living on the Edge, by Laren Stover. I am not so sure yet what I think about the text, but the water color paintings by Izak (see link) are charming.
Of course, reading it is all about self-projection. Since my two new flat mates are very professional Bohemians, I thought I should beef up my Bohemian credentials.
The book lists various bohemian types, and I have figured out that I am part Nouveau Bohemian, part Dandy Bohemian, perhaps with a dash of Beat Bohemian (this rules out the other types: Zen, and Gypsy) .
The Dandy “aspires to old money without the money”, the Nouveau “hosts parties of the most extravagant sort”, and the Beat is “pretty much up for anything”. That’s me, right?!
