Not a Hipster

There's a book just out called The Hipster Handbook, a review of which appeared in the most recent NYT Sunday Book Review. There's a quiz you can take to determine whether or not you qualify. I answered honestly, down to the fact that my hair tends to look better after the use of a hair dryer, and that I did not currently have a Betty Page hairstyle, even though I'd like to. Maybe if I'd fibbed, that would've put me over the top. My heart bleeds. I so wanted to be a conformist nonconformist!

It's hard enough trying to be myself.
