I had recently lost access to my main account, BatChic, created in 2006 and I felt a bit of a loss. (But don't worry -- Dean @ Gaia Support chatted me through the process of changing my password to be able to reenter the Gaia Gates! Thanks to Dean and his patience, BatChic is back!)
But this post is about me -- Clove Boheme -- and the origin of this username. I had watched the film version of RENT again (I love musicals!) and one of the songs is La Vie Boheme -- celebrating the non-commercial Bohemian Life of a true artist. This philosophy is one that I have taken all my life -- "art for arts' sake" -- showing my art in non-commercial galleries, and socializing with other artists, poets, and those of like-mind living La Vie Boheme. (And if you remember the plot of RENT, these artists got locked out of their apartments, much like a BatChic locked out of Gaia without her Password Key.)
Originally I was thinking of Clare Boheme (Clare meaning Clarity) but Clove sounded better to my ear when matched with Boheme -- for the vowel roundness of the long "O". Plus, I have a fondness for herbs and spices, having grown a very satisfying herb garden at an earlier residence location.
Now layer on the idea that Clove Boheme is an extraterrestrial, trying to mix in with other unassuming Gaians, not really understanding that Clove is not a usual first name -- and it all fits!
One more thing that my subconscious did, without my really noticing until later -- BatChic's intials are B. C., while Clove Boheme's are reversed -- C. B. How's that for icing on the cake? *hugs* ❤️
