    Once a cheater, always a cheater

    先恭喜我们家小岑把非人的笔试一举拿下~~~!

    橘色的msn窗口像仪仗队一字排开,不知何时我变得那么门庭若市。开着Bloomberg Radio,一边听着恒生下挫、美元上扬,一边给那些不知所云的窗口回复呵呵恩恩之类的拖延时间之辞,传说中的Multi-tasking,只是现代人的自我愚弄罢了。打开校内,我的感觉在莫名、委屈、上当、生气、冷漠、豁然、释负等等之间混杂并流转,脑中的词库忽然地停在了一句话上:Once a cheater, always a cheater。语出《Friends》。

    胆怯和欺骗是最要不得的两种特质,而当Em在我房间咬牙切齿的说“我要去给他买肉骨头”时,我在庆幸好在自己不曾上当……

    小天很生气,后果很严重;小天不生气,后果更严重……

    画面似乎联系到了前几天课间的时候几位同学过来揉摸我的脸,念叨着我的发型让我像极了阿拉蕾,仿佛让我回到了曾经作为众人玩具的时代。事件讽刺地重叠,因为隔着两个时空,生活中总有人把“Mess around with me”“Mess with me”给搞混,把我当玩具完全可以,把我当你开心农场里的一颗种子,就万万不可了。或者总是有人大胆前来give it a shot,没问题,see what happens……

    都说了,现在这个发型只是我的高级cover,可总有人蠢到不看颜色就往染缸里跳,不知是高估了自己还是看低了我。论及把我当玩具,一时痒无妨;一时痒,呵呵……

    江山易改本性难移。不明就里的骁骁过来打抱不平:他有什么资本来自以为是?我其实本来想回复也许有些人什么都没有,但执意要进行完整的一套自我催眠来麻痹自己的空虚可是想了想却说:所以我要做坏人,才可以像现在这样毫无杂念的冷静回想,笑出声来。

    我最为骄傲的能力是interpreting,谁知此次interpretation的技术,却擦了边。好在我是坏人,于是心如止水地翻新了曾经的误读,跟骁骁说《He’s just not that into you》里的台词:We are not the exception, we are the rule。每个人都天真的以为自己是那样的特殊,那样轻而易举地可以改变别人,其实都只是自己的假想敌。倒不如做个坏人,时时刻刻提醒自己,这些只是我们对于正常的信息进行了加工,为了达到自己想要的误读。

    《她比烟花寂寞》里的一句对白此刻在我的脑海里盘旋,放大,加粗,黑体——I want to marry him because he makes me feel special.  ——but the truth is, my dear, that you are not special.

    张罗一下我们鳄鱼科的门面,时时提醒自己是rule & not special,下次就不会再轻易犯interpretation的错误,因为cheater永远都在重复相同的步骤,而我,永远都只会是我。

    用神速完成了小组讨论之后,大家开始讨论起我走了狗屎运的中译英作业,最后一致通过原因是我平时勤快看书的速度和数量——“书是白看的吗?都是积累起来的嘛”。其实我自己清楚,看书、看电影、听歌、甚至写space都只是自我发现或者自我发泄的工具,真正值得一提的不是天赋而是基础。拿插秧来举个不恰当的例子,根红苗正、气候宜人、良季沃土,可是秧没插好,哪怕再怎么天时地利人和,收成也别指望了。

    一直在想,现在虽然一事无成却总在自省的时候心存感激:觉得我能拥有现在之所有,已经足够幸运。最感谢的是小妈妈锲而不舍地在南浦大桥的见证下叫我背单词,也是她从小就让我去学音标和课外教材,从小这两个字对于一门语言或者一种天赋来说,是多么神奇的添加剂。更值得感恩的是从小学起历任英语老师的偏爱,尤其是启蒙老师,如果不是因为她当时那么偏执的喜欢我,如果她没有那么执拗的相信我有潜力,如果她没有那么坚持的培养我,现在的我绝对是另外一个世界的另外一个人。

    下礼拜模考,其实心里真的没底,我一厢情愿地想:如果模考没过的话,那我就做一次疯子,考中译英算了吧。于是今天像是祷告一般感谢了那么多人,算给自己定定神,希望他们都能被召唤起来,下星期助我一臂之力。

    过去是我的印记,刻录了现在的我,类似地套用某个可爱的专栏名称:“Boys will be boys”,所以要对那些主观臆测便单纯得觉得自己“技术”过硬的人说,Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn。这才有了昨天跟Kenny南辕北辙的对话——He was like, do u dare to give it a try, with me? ——well, do u? ——& I was like, do u dare to say that in front of my face, looking into my eyes? ——okay then, I get you.

    You’ll always, ALWAYS be what you are, and yet, I’m not special…

     

    You may not get hurt or make an ass of yourself that way, but you don't fall in love that way either.
    You have not won,
    Alex, you are alone.
    I may do a lot of stupid shit or put myself out there too much but I know I'm a lot closer to finding someone than you are
    .

    ——<He’s just not that into you>
