About Me
Graduate student in political theory (at Harvard) and modern British intellectual history (at Oxford; it's a long story) -- now in my 23rd straight year as a student!
Why don't you ever wear a scarf? It doesn't need to be cold outside for your neck to feel naked.
I do wear a scarf. And my neck still feels naked.
