近日忙于搬迁，无暇顾及这一亩二分地，已是荒草萆连天。接连被飞猪和蚂蚁点名要自曝怪癖，惶恐之余，好似几近腐烂的草莓突遭顾客垂青，不禁几分沾沾自喜。不过被飞猪扣上“留学女博士”的大帽子，颇为不爽，顿觉面目可憎起来——怕是在世人眼中，“第三类人”的常态亦是怪癖，怪癖也即常态吧。Sigh…我只是在上十九年级而已，其实小着呢…… 1. 虽平时不施粉黛对镜贴花黄，桌上还是必备一面小镜以便随时顾影自怜。至于每日在穿衣镜前搔首弄姿个十遍八遍更是家常便饭。昨天在埃文斯顿一通乱逛，发现这是个巨适合我居住的城市：市中心全是小店餐厅咖啡馆，通通都有橱窗！慢着，本人可不是购物狂——这些橱窗充分满足了远比血拼更加高尚有品的精神需求。睁着因度数加深而明显无神的双眼，故作兴致勃勃状望进一个又一个橱窗，欣赏自己“纤细”的身影掠过家具店的双人床垫，饰品店的非洲花瓶，理发店的棕色假发。天哪，何德何能，生活干吗要这么善待我！ 2．每次给老妈打电话，手边必备烂纸一张秃笔一支。谈至兴起，定会欣然提笔落字若干，至于内容，多是与话题风马牛不相及的梦呓——或称“意识流”。此等涂鸦最后必以无意义的线条覆盖所有文字告终。最终结果：笔的寿命缩短百分之二。 3.对菠菜的热爱可与大力水手媲美，尤喜水焯菠菜。清水煮沸，投入菠菜，静待十秒，沥水装盘，拌盐少许即可食用。此物每周摄取若干，尚未厌烦。 4。行事必虎头蛇尾，此文即是明证。 5．记性差，脾气坏，哎哟，想不出来了，俺去睡也…… 还要发展五个下线？怎么这么麻烦，媚娘，朕的头又疼了……... Read more >>
