The Bohemian Jar

Amino, the jar’s owner, is a writer and playwright. Blogging debut was in 2005, when Chronicles of a Utopian Writer was launched — a blog abandoned, in the Blogging Highschool Musical era, for personal ideals.

Enjoys exploring new areas, traveling with nothing but a backpack, trying out exotic dishes, shopping in tiny stuffy bookshops, debating practicality with high-heeled ladies, embarrassing those who butt in, taking photos of random objects on streets.

Loves Science Fiction, manga, and dictionaries. Despises winter clothes, margin-less papers, and people who lack common sense.

Interested in philosophy, psychology, and astronomy.

Would love to invite Ayn Rand, John Lenon, Sarah Waters, Edward Said, Margaret Weis, Anderson Cooper, Ofra Haza, George Orwell, Shirley Bassey, and Edith Piaf for dinner.

Known to be the guardian of all freaks and socially condemned figures. Practices a theoretical open minded attitude under the roof of personal insecurities, and is not afraid to be wrong, rather terrified to regret.

Favors allegories, satires, and irony in literary texts.

Speaking of irony, hates labels.
