從台北到倫敦，再回到台北，我想我可能一輩子離不開大城市。沒什麼好沒什麼不好。
即使我在台中出生，住過短暫兩個月的新竹，五年的大學生活和這一年多來開始工作後的日子，衣著的風格、講話的方式、思考的邏輯、走路的速度、生活方式的安排，都是台北的。
即使如此，我還是，徹頭徹尾地，台北異鄉人。每天每天學習著、習慣著、培養著、累積著在台北生活的姿態。
我想著在都市生活其實是一種姿態，帶著傲慢自恃的那種，city dwellers老早就拋開國界，用城市與城市之間的距離去度量世界。即使台北不過就是世界上某個發著微光的角落而已，即使聞不到紐約的自由味兒、倫敦的歷史味兒、東京清爽的古怪味兒，作為一個城市，他還是有一種味道。
在台北，那味道是雨後坑坑巴巴柏油路的、慘綠油油行道樹的、發霉邊緣的，味道。

It took me quite a while to go back from the parking lot to the office for the lost glove.
Again, I never found it. Probably dropped on the way, somewhere.
Sometimes I really hate paired-up things, gloves, socks, and, gloves. I guess I have more than 5 gloves which the other half is lost. I felt sad when I look at them.

可能，因為迅速地恢復了正常而感到哀傷也說不定。
我們分別在不同的時刻談起她，不經意地，片段殘缺地。倒也不是什麼樣的激動情緒，大抵是五毫克的淚在眼眶裡打轉那樣子的程度。
也許這就是她活在這個世界的方式吧，比較無痛的那種。至少我是這麼想的。
像是那種排山倒海般湧上的悲傷偶爾還是有的，對我來說必須是某些被提醒的時刻，特別是那些老梗式的生離死別電影片段對我來說特別有用，那些獨自面對死亡的惶恐焦慮和自以為被遺棄者的荒謬錯覺。
'We've never left.'
像這樣子的夢也是有的，我覺得很幸運，甚至因為這樣而有些沾沾自喜。夢裡她和大家一起，模糊地我還是可以感受到她的溫柔微笑。
就像她從未來離開一樣，這樣如浮光略影般的暖橘色夢境讓我安心而自在。
就像她從未來離開一樣。

我覺得我快要不能呼吸了。那個凌晨我從床上坐起沒有辦法入眠，全身安靜地顫抖混合著眼淚。
孤獨和沮喪，暫時性的，持續好一陣子的，侵蝕性的，將我的肉體逐步分解成最小的分子。
「最後會化成灰燼吧」，我想。
Chang (1985-2011)
幸好在全然分解消失以前那洪水總是沈不住氣地向某些地方滲透。那個中午當她提起她與另一個朋友的對話，「你啊，」簡單的說，「沒有過的不好，只是現在靈魂有點不健康，不是我們以前認識的那個人」。
所以其實結論是，「別把自己想得太偉大了。」
當慢跑時還可以一邊流汗，一邊想著「如果活著都不知道為了什麼，那維持健康的意義何在？」其實事情沒有這麼複雜，人生也沒有多麼了不起，「不需要太多理由的」。
這種說法好像也沒有辦法讓我有足夠的勇氣繼續呼吸，不過先前跳動的很勉強的心臟，好像也照樣地慢速地，不太情願的跳，一如往常。

「在這個不坦率的世界，真誠的人都被當成笨蛋。」「但是怎麼辦，我還是如此相信絕對。」 ‘It’s alright to be not ok.’

作曲：Tizzy Bac
I don’t wanna be ok 所以離我遠一點
反正我也受夠這世界
早就知道不應該 偏要痛了才學乖
我們為何沒人能例外
以為真心擁有過 常常都只是搞錯
賭上真實的自我 自己造孽自己受
如果忘了你是誰 也許比較好一點
美夢清醒的瞬間 只剩下 我的心碎 和你的狼狽
會痛 沒什麼 這點苦我還能夠
只是我現在不明所以
落單 沒什麼 好過找錯人寄託
只是我現在有點兒Lonely
有一點Lonely
I don’t wanna be ok 不能就只是ok
我曾相信這世上有絕對
美好往事多可愛 壞掉的就隨風散

It could be quite easy to sum up this three-day holiday weekend. Satisfying and consequently depressing.
Had a birthday party Friday night, hangover Saturday morning, a Sunday invigilation, earned 3000, an extra morning to sleep late and spent the rest with movies, lots of movies.

她被我們朋友圈子稱為「戀愛女王」，自己也笑說「還真是什麼都被我遇過了」這一類的話，對愛情的評論也一針見血的精準，我喜歡跟她分享關於感情的雜念碎思，因為我知道她一定懂。一直以來她的身邊從來不缺某一個特定的人分享心情，不論真實狀態是否為「穩定交往中」或者「單身」。
前陣子她才決心斬斷了一段協議加上默契似有若無的小小戀情，從開始到最後我都在隔岸觀火的絕佳位子，偶爾聽她說起這樣子的安排很好，戀愛經驗值低弱的我當然也只能全力支持，因為很羨慕。
有一個人可以專心聽你說話，知道有一個人願意分享你的生活，那是一件多好的事啊。
但是日子一久了，就算真的不期待更多，也很難不去限制那個專心聽你說話的人不對別人也這麼專心的聽別人說話。Yihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04624130318614729200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253149791718429007.post-19965158582547898342011-02-09T05:06:00.000Z2011-02-09T05:06:02.307Za short note剛剛去買午餐的時候，一個爺爺正在跟孫子玩球。

不過整堂課都讓我手足無措緊張不安，我對課堂的內容完全沒有印象，只記得大家一起搬動課桌椅咭咭拐拐的聲音。
然後不知怎麼的我意識到我得趕快選別的課，否則在開學的第一個學期會來不及完成選課，但是手邊又沒有課表，好慌張好無助，我只能往系辦的方向走。

這一年變化不多不少，剛剛好。
在交大慘澹的那兩個月過後我到了政大，雖然都是助理的工作，在政大這邊的生活、在台北的日子還算愉快自在。
在倫敦無所事事的六個月所積累的能量可以說都在回台灣之後轉化為生活和工作的動力，所以我很努力很努力，然後也很幸運很幸運。
努力地生活，把握機會認識了一些新朋友，跟老朋友們恢復偶爾聚餐看戲的日子，有些週末陪家人，很充實很充實。擁有了這種「沒在怕」的衝動勇氣，努力的把在倫敦一年半寫論文找工作的沈重還有大學五年用約會和各種活動填塞自己的日子好好檢查一遍，回想那些只顧著往前衝而沒有好好過生活的日子，然後再一次努力地生活。
我希望以後的日子除了可以為自己的夢想和計畫努力之外，還有很多很多的愛給我的朋友和家人。

This time I got lucky. I was hired as a editor assistant of a database project in the History of Ideas in Modern China. My major is not in Chinese history, but modern history connects each other in a sense that modern histories of various countries interacted with one another.
The project is interesting as to its research part; however,Yihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04624130318614729200noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253149791718429007.post-20421356549288173862010-03-08T14:33:00.000Z2010-03-08T14:33:36.486ZWhat do a RA do?I am a research assistant (or a research associate in the UK), sometimes called a RA, just to be different from TA (teaching assistant). RAs usually require postgraduate certificates, often MA. TAs, on the other hand, are constantly graduate students who work part time, helping with the courses. I suppose the positions in the Universities in Taiwan are similar to those in the US or UK.

The mass transportation in this city, or I should say, little town, is intolerably shabby. There are only two route bus passing by the Uni I work at, and there's no such thing as Metro in Taipei or Tube in London. Therefore most college students or people who can't afford a car would chose the later one. The roads are filled with cars Yihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04624130318614729200noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253149791718429007.post-13693051897702959092010-02-03T14:41:00.002Z2010-02-03T14:48:42.752Z10 days afterI don't want to fill my blog with shitty things about my boss and my work. But if this is my life and there's nothing left (no cute guys nor pleasant scenery nor interesting musicals or performance) This, I hope, would be the second as well as the last one.

But this time's different. My boss, a recently promoted female associate professor, is a pretty young lady (or, as James said, 'a babe') but she's actually not as sweet to her employee.
I arrived at the airport at 22 Jan night, then my family picked me up and drove me to Xing Zhu in the midnight, because myYihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04624130318614729200noreply@blogger.com0
