Neither argument nor rebuttal (o, how postmodern): "I want what I don't want. I don't want what I want. And to make things complicated, I don't even know what I want and don't want." (McBeal, 1999)
It's really nice to have gotten to know someone as geeky and ditzy as I can be. It will surely make our time in the UK that much more fun. I can see us already problematizing issues both profound (the public sphere! globalization!) and mundane (does baby blue go with the whites or the coloreds?). Now, live up to your OCness and start with those preparations. :)
