Competitive Eater from China

Sean and I went to the Roast Beef Slider Contest at a Roy Rogers in Frederick, Maryland for an interview. We are working on a story about one of the contesters, Juliet Lee, a native Chinese originally from Nanjing. 

She ended up earned the 3rd place, by eating 27 roast beef sliders in eight minutes.

The 42 year old mom of two daughters, who owns a beauty salon in Germantown, ranks the 11th among the professional competitive eaters in the world. Guess how big she is? Very Asian size: 5 feet and 105 pounds (152 cm and 48 kg). She wears size zero jeans and shops at junior sections. Where on earth did she shove all the food to??

"I am still hungry. I could eat about 50 to 60 sliders if there were no time limit, " said Juliet. She also said she usually only eat one meal a day. Well, that meal must be a gigantic project. 

She does not practice. She does not eat that much normally. If there is any secret weapon, it must be the hot Chinese tea that she brought with her. "I would definitely earn the first place if we ate Chinese dumplings," she laughed.

It was her first time to try the sliders, but she preferred raw oysters, which she once ate 31 dozen in another contest. What else? 5 pounds of ribs, 13 slices of pizza and 13 pounds of cranberry sauce. Want a challenge? Anyone?

She started her competitive eating sport (yes, it is a sport) at an amateur contest hosted by Three Brothers Pizza in 2007, where she ate 11 slices in minutes. She earned the first place as well as free pizza for a year. Ever since then, she has 12 or 13 professional eating contests every year. 

Ok, that is all for today. Oh, the last thing, competitive eating is gross.

I am not a fan. I am just compulsive... and foolish.

Ever since I saved my breakfast money for Modern Song Circles 当代歌坛, I knew I would be either a star or a paparazzi. I also knew I would make myself look like an idiot, especially when I am already on the 30s' side of 20s, but I simply could not pull myself away from taking pictures of/with the stars. I am not a fan of any of them. I am just compulsive. 

For instance, Rain, a popular Korean singer & actor, came to the studio for an interview at 3:30 p.m. I usually get off work at noon as I explained in a previous blog, and I was already on the metro on my way back home. However, I shamefully returned and  volunteered to work with the interviewer, failing the battle with the crazy, silly, and compulsive me. 

It turned out that I was not the only one who went out of the mind. Some girls who didn't need to work today came especially for him. One girl even made several boards with golden sparkle RAIN on them and handed out to us. (It said she used to be the leader of several quite big fans clubs in China, including Jay Chou's) She even organized us a mini rehearsal on yelling "Rain! Rain! Rain! I love you" in Korean. Anyway, we welcomed Rain at the lobby of the VOA all the way down to the studio, screaming his name and taking his pictures along the way. It was a chaos, but it would be a perfect footage for any frantic stories. 

The American folks in the studio, who do not even take their president seriously, were amazed to see a slim-eyed mediocre-looking man was totally surrounded by a bunch of screaming girls rushed in and fled out like a tornado. They asked the interviewer where she hired all these girls. She said they all work here at Mandarin branch. (a short silent) "Who is the guy in charge of hiring in mandarin branch then?"

That is true. I got to meet more people who work with me in an same office during the show than in the past entire month since I have been here. 

What makes me more foolish is I don't like Rain that much. I don't even like Koreans in general. Well, that is another story. It was funny to hear almost all girls to say with rolling eyeballs and squeezed lips that they were not a fan at all, while the playback was showing our huge laughters and ridiculous screams on the screen. I guess we were all under peer pressure.

So, a star or a paparazzi. I guess I know which one I am closer to be now.

从 “美国之音”中听到的文革

从 “美国之音”中听到的文革

乔海燕

下乡当知青时,在一个偶然的情况下,用中波半导体收音机收到了“敌台”──美国之音。以后,又搜索到莫斯科电台对华节目,还有一家香港的福音广播电台。那时候就知道,穷乡僻壤之地,天地广阔,也是政府鞭长莫及之地。

参 加工作后,我在一所“三线”工程的职工医院工作。那里虽不是深山老林,但绝对属于荒江野老之地。天高皇帝远,政府的干扰信号管不着那里。所以,只要有半导 体收音机,听美国之音是件很容易的事。那时候自己挣钱了,便托同学帮我买了一个“百泉”收音机,虽然不好看,工艺粗糙,只有中波,但确实便宜,13块,用 两节1号电池,沉甸甸的。

拿到收音机当天,因为知道要做什么,心里有一种莫名的兴奋。好不容易等到半夜,我就开始试着寻找电台。“百泉” 收音机没有带耳机,我只能把音量开到最小,耳朵贴着喇叭,还得蒙着被子,万一叫同屋的人听见呢?人心隔肚皮,不能不防。这架收音机的灵敏度很差,找来找 去,只有美国之音,到了后半夜,又找出一个台湾台,好像叫“复兴之声”。我很扫兴。其实,我是想找到香港的“福音之声”,这个电台每晚播出一支古典名曲, 我很喜欢。在农村的那些漫漫长夜,这些曲子就是我的古典音乐的启蒙老师。

但是,不管怎么说,能听到美国之音,我还是很高兴。毕竟听到了另 外一种声音,用我熟悉的、完全可以听懂的语言,报道着我刚刚从中央广播电台听到或者从《人民日报》看到的同一件事,但却给出另外一种说法。当然,究竟可信 与否,是不是真相,都要靠自己判断。你要是不信,即使真相摆在你面前,你也不相信;你要是相信,即使告诉你假话,你也能从假话中发现真相。因为基本新闻事 实都是一样的,就看谁能揭示事实的真相了。──这句话就是放到现在,亦如此。

那年月,听美国之音是桩罪状。大街上经常有划了红钩的法院告示,昭然彰显因“偷听敌台”而获刑者,大有人在。

所以,自从有了收音机,我便提高革命警惕性,对毛泽东“敌人就在我们内部”的教导奉若神明,阶级斗争的弦绷得也比较紧。因为我深知自己在做什么。当时我还是单位的团委副书记,主管宣传,像这样半夜“偷听敌台”,一旦被人发觉,告发出去,不仅大祸临头,而且罪加一等。

我 不是每天必听“敌台”,但是,只要听,之前都要做些准备,条件不具备,宁可不听。我和同屋共三个人,我一般都选他俩有一个值夜班的时候,做半夜收听的准 备。剩下的一个同屋,临睡前绝对不和他多说一句话,以免引起他兴奋,关了灯还起劲聒噪。等到熄灯,睡下,便假装很快入睡,使呼吸发出隐隐可以听到的声响, 但是要均匀,和缓,目的是催眠,要给人很安心的感觉,觉得我已经睡着了。再等一阵,确信同屋也有了均匀的鼾声,便慢慢放下心来,再等一个时辰,从翻身、鼾 声确信他已经睡熟,这才拿出压在枕头底下的收音机,蒙好被子,蒙严实,开始调台,开始“偷听”。

有几次,听着听着就睡过去了,后半夜醒来,发现收音机一片嘈杂声,就赶紧关上。被窝里惊出一身汗。

当然,要是赶上同屋两个人都值夜班,或者都外出不归,那便是我的盛大节日了。晚上早早锁门、上床,也不关灯,明目张胆地打开收音机,听完一个台,再找另外一个台,整宿听下去……

有时候,正修理收音机,猛抬头,却看到同屋正对着我亲切微笑,便隐隐感到那微笑后面潜隐的威胁,霎时间一身冷汗,心头突突,手下便乱了方寸。如此,惴惴不安好几日。只待确实无事,才慢慢平静。

说 实话,那时候,我并不是很相信美国之音,正如我并不是完全不相信中央人民广播电台。这是一种比较复杂的心情,不是几句话能说清楚的。虽说如此,美国之音确 实给了我另外一种声音,使我在不知不觉中体味到事实和真相的关系,怎样发现真相,甚至慢慢体味到什么是新闻,什么是好新闻……那时候,我还能听到台湾的广 播。用现在的话讲,台湾的电台与大陆是一个思路,一个宣传模式,简直是一对双胞胎!漫无边际的宣传,强加于人的观点,新闻中夹杂着评论,接着就是各种口 号,还有谩骂,无非大陆说台湾“蒋匪”,台湾说大陆“共匪”……实际上是同一个声音。美国之音不是这样,新闻就是新闻,平铺直叙;如果有评论,一定在另外 一节,言明是谁谁评论;幕间曲多选用“二泉映月”等二胡曲,或者小夜曲,很惬意、舒适。虽然你可以不信,可以怀疑,但是,一旦听到,就不得不想听──因为 它确实很好听。完全是另外一种声音。

当然,我还是不完全相信它,毕竟它是美帝国主义的电台嘛。

在我的记忆中,听美国之音印象比较深的,有两次。

第一次是“天安门广场事件”。1976年4月5日,北京的群众自发在天安门广场悼念周总理,被有组织镇压,不少人被打、被抓。

听到这件事完全是偶然。应该是4月5号当天夜里,或者是6号夜里,我从美国之音听到天安门广场出事了,大吃一惊,继而心里很紧张。虽然不愿意相信美国之音的报道,但也无法排除,只能自己闷在心里。因为自文革以来,从来没有传出过在北京发生这么大的事情。

第 二天,心里仍闷着,也不知道找谁说。这一天过得怪难受的。晚上吃过饭,去找同事聊天,他们几个不知道从那里听说,神秘兮兮地正说着。见我到,赶快招手, 说,告诉你件大事!又赶紧把门锁紧。我装作初听,把一副惊讶万状的表情恰如其分的摆到脸上,还不失时机地用“啊”、“是吗”表示惊奇。当然,也恰当地表示 出对小道消息的怀疑──为自己留有余地。虽然我也议论,但不敢说我已经知道了这个消息,更不敢说是从美国之音上听到的。

正在众人争论这个 消息是否属实,真相究竟是什么的的时候,窗户外的大喇叭响了,整7点的中央人民广播电台新闻联播节目,头条就是“北京天安门广场发生反革命事件”。播音员 声音抑扬顿挫,情绪慷慨激昂,感情义愤填膺,把“一小撮反革命暴徒”骂得狗血喷头。大家一听,都傻了!惶惶如丧家犬,静静地坐着听广播,没有一个人说话, 脸上的表情难以名状。我生平第一次看到,被自己人的子弹射中是什么样的表情。

接连几个晚上收听美国之音,几乎都是一样的新闻报道,再也没有什么新鲜的内容。

美国之音的报道,基本调子是“大批集聚在天安门广场悼念周恩来的群众,遭到当局残酷镇压,许多人被逮捕。”

中央广播电台的基调是“一些别有用心的人假借悼念周总理的名义,煽动不明真相的人在天安门广场制造了一起骇人听闻的反革命暴乱,被无产阶级专政的铁拳粉碎。”

这样,在一九七六年的四月,“天安门广场事件”在我心里就有了两个版本,两个完全不一样的版本。我该相信哪一个呢?现在有人看了这文章,可能会说,相信美国之音的。其实不是,我想相信美国之音说的是真的,但是,我更害怕中央广播电台说的是真的。

我该相信谁说的呢?那确实是一段比较痛苦的内心煎熬。

人与人之间的关系、高下、良莠,就是在这些事实面前形成。

第二次印象比较深的新闻,是听到美国之音广播江青、王洪文、张春桥、姚文元被捕的消息。那次可是禁不住的高兴!没有经历过文革的人,很难理解当时人们听到这四个人被抓起来时那种欣喜若狂的心情。

几 天我老觉得要出什么事,每天晚上都长时间地听美国之音、莫斯科电台,还有台湾的广播,好像在等什么消息。到了10月8号,还是在半夜,美国之音突然中断正 常节目,开始播出“据北京消息灵通人士提供”的消息,说江青、王洪文、张春桥等,已经被逮捕。第一次播出没有提姚文元。又隔了一会,到第二次播出时,就加 上姚文元。提供消息的人好像还很知情,说“从汽车里一个一个核对”。

我惊呆了!那种激动,那种高兴,那种将信将疑,那种想信这是事实又担心是一场梦的心情,真是难以名状。

因为前面有“天安门广场事件”,所以,这次美国之音的报道,我基本相信了,虽然还是有点将信将疑,毕竟“逮捕”这个词用在江青身上,她是谁,都知道啊!还有王洪文,那是中共中央副主席!

心 里的惊喜,还有纳闷,不敢对别人说。每天仔细听广播新闻,看报纸。越听,越觉得有事。比如,新闻反复强调“紧密团结在以华国锋主席为首的党中央周围”,反 复强调“反对毛主席的人决没有好下场”,反复强调“继承毛主席的遗志”,总听起来味道不一样。但是,新闻仍然强调“批邓”、“反击右倾翻案风”,又叫人觉 得还是老样子。

到了晚上,早早蒙着被子睡觉,听美国之音的广播,偏偏那几天,美国之音再没有了新鲜东西,翻来覆去播出的就是逮捕江青、王洪文、张春桥、姚文元的消息。

就这样,文化大革命的收官之作──天安门广场事件和逮捕四人帮──我都是最先从美国之音得到消息,而且,都是真实的消息。

VOA 2009 Dress Code

This may look hideous, but it is quite practical for those who need to go to work at 4 in the morning in the winter of Washington DC. 

慢慢觉醒慢慢修正

今天看朋友博客,听说人民教育出版社在新版的语文教科书中弃用鲁迅。这消息让人振奋,让人心生希望。

鲁迅完全是当权者的愚民阴谋之一。

你可能会惊诧,因为你向来听说他是文豪是大家,你一路上学过来背过不少他的伟作,你甚至可能为了显得自己有学问而引用过他的名言名句,虽然心底里你其实觉得不知所云狗屁不通错别字连篇(老师说那叫通假字)。

当然,文风好坏和人长得美丑一样都是主观的东西,有钱难买爷愿意。可是思想是可以影响一代人几代人的。要是为了自己的需求,非逼娼为良,塑造成一个role model,这就是太贻害万年强奸大众了。

我们这一代在御用课本和媒体中知道的都是当权者想让我们知道的,不知道不该知道的,更巧妙的是,久而久之,我们甚至不想知道该知道的了。

总有人喜欢你,有人讨厌你,有争议是多么自然。所以下次我们最好质疑一下像神一样完美的形象。赞成还是反对不再重要,重要的是我曾突破了固有思维,走出了洗脑怪圈,开始学着critical thinking。

课外作业:鲁迅,钱学森,周恩来,好多的神!

Morning schedule

Monday through Friday, I get up at 4 in the morning and take the first metro at 5:12 to work. The early schedule is to promise the show time of 9 p.m. in China, which was 9 a.m. in DC and 8 a.m. after the daylight saving time ended. 

The Capitol building in dark becomes a familiar view of my daily life. If you know me, you will know how night owl I used to be. But no any more! I try to go to bed before 10 p.m. to avoid passing out at work next day. 

World definitely changed with my brand new schedule. I can't say if I like the change or not, but it definitely feels strange. Here are some glimpses of the changes:

1. Nightlife.
No more, since the nightlife activities in most of the bars usually start at the time I have to go to bed. 

2. Food.
I don't know how I am supposed to schedule my meals, so I just eat wherever I feel hungry, which has been proved to be quite often. Usually, a pre-breakfast after shower around 4:30 a.m.; then a breakfast after the show around 9 a.m.; an improvised lunch at any time during 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.; lastly, an surprised dinner accordingly before going to bed. Above all, most of the food are frozen junks, as there is only a microwave/toaster/oven thing instead of a regular stove.

3. Exercise.
Yoga with TV trainers at 6 p.m., and jogging at weekend. This is a good change, compared to  the frequency of twice a month before.

4. The off of the work
Time seems pass faster under a schedule like this. By the time of noon, I can call it a day!

For better or worse, the internship will be ended in a month.

VOA and my apartment in DC

Some of you have asked me to post some pictures about my daily life here at my internship as well as in DC. Here they are. Since I am publishing the entry by sending an email, the way to post the pictures is attaching them within the email as far as I know. I haven't attached more than one picture before, so I have no idea how to write caption for each one in this way. I will just describe them together first, and we'll see how it will turn out to be.

I am staying with family in Arlington, Virginia, 3 miles southeast of the Capitol, where is very close to VOA. I pay $800 for a month. It is very expensive for me, but it is actually a good deal considering that a metro station is 3 blocks away, a public library is 2 blocks away, AND we have some big-named neighbors like John McCain and El Gore. For me, there is another reason: the famous Pentagon City Mall is 5 blocks away. 





Marriage

婚姻,是什么,由相爱的人来告诉你!
我们家即将在短期内迎来三场婚礼,幸福来得劈头盖脸卒不及防
热烈庆贺的同时也要对家族里包括我在内的三个适婚光棍传达慰问和鼓励:
舆论压顶不-弯-腰!

Brief intro of my internship life at VOA

I should have recorded all my internship life since June, when I first went back to Beijing, but the days have flied away before I realize the two internships will soon be officially ended and I will graduate in about a month. Fortunately, I keep my worklog in my diary. So here it is, without timeline order, my brief life of being an intern at CCTV and VOA. 

It's been two weeks since I started my internship at VOA (Voice of America) Mandarin branch. I enjoyed it very much as how I did with the days at CCTV. The biggest challenge so far was my work schedule -- 4 a.m. to 12 p.m., Monday through Friday. 

I am working with a group of 7 people for a 1-hour TV show called "Issues & Opinions." 10 minutes current events, and then a discussion on certain topics with guest speaker(s), during which audiences can call in to join. 

Normally, we will be assigned news by an editor to translate and edit into TV news style around 4 a.m. The news could come from different agencies, such as AP, Router, or VOA Central News, etc. 

By the time 5:15 a.m., all the text editing part should be finished, and we will go downstairs to the video editing room to record the VO (voice over) and do the footage editing. Here borns the news packages we use in the show when you hear the news announcer says "VOA reporter has more..." or something like that. 

At the same time, another person will be preparing the B-roll for the discussion, which is the video you will see during the discussion of the host and guest( s). By 7:30, the producer of the day should be in position in B-control room, where all the technic parts happen. There usually are: 

Director - who controls the whole show 
Chyron - who takes care of captions and headlines 
Camera - who switches the cameras (there are 4 cameras in the studio 47 at VOA) 
Phone screener - who answers phone calls and register them in system (usually the news announcer after he/she finishes the broadcast) 
Producer - stand-by for any emergency 

 (To be continued...)

严禁对号入座

这不是在商界,在感情上“空手套白狼”永远是个贬义词。

【转载】 偷渡到美国有5年了

             我在美国纽约,没有朋友,没有官职,长期失业中,看我是如果度过这些年的日子的.
      
    我是偷渡来的,失业,就意味着0收入。不过日子过得还行,听我来818:
        
    衣服:社区领取的,美国的社区居民有捐献旧衣服的传统,一般由社工之类的负责,我到处领取一次,衣服都有7、8成新,款式以休闲型为主。出国前我住在中国西部,年收入5万,穿的衣服品质没有现在好。内裤当然是穿新的,这点后面再说。我经常把多余的衣服卖给不识此路的其他偷渡客,每月可收入200美圆,。
        
    食物:超市免费领取,美国的超市在食品过期前一两日会免费派放,这些主要是罐头类食品,肉食和菜食都有,打烊前几十分钟有免费面包派发。我每天转悠到几大超市领取免费食物,将其中一部分转手卖给不愿出门的社区居民,每月收入大约800美圆。呵呵,在国内我是长跑运动员,我能跑。
    
    住宿:主要住在各个教会提供的免费宿舍,条件不错,水电齐全,可以洗澡,还有免费洗衣房,有些条件好的还有小型图书馆。不过只能住一宿,每天得排队领号,竞争激烈;我反正失业,每天早早排队,基本上能领到号。有时候排不上号,就住地铁站或地下过道等,挺干净的,就是没厕所,起夜不方便,凑合吧。天气好的时候我就把教会宿舍的床位卖给其他领不到号的人,一次5美圆,在地铁站就帮那些卖唱的张罗生意,卖个吆喝,收个钱啥的,以分点小钱。这两项相加,每月收入大概100美圆。
        
    交通:前面说过,我是长跑运动员,主要是跑几大超市,直径在20公里之内,完全能胜任。我打算2012年参加奥运会。有赞助商看中我的潜力,每月支付我100美圆,直至2012年。条件是如果我能参加2012年奥运会,就替他们免费做一年广告。赞助商是卖内裤的,免费提供新内裤。
        
    生活用品:0费用。教会宿舍免费提供,有时顺手带点牙刷牙膏啥的,以备地铁站之用。
        
    吸烟:0费用。自制卷烟,公园里有烟叶,采摘后烘干作为烟丝,卷烟纸垃圾桶里找,每月卖给其他失业者、流浪汉、卖艺人等若干烟卷,收入约30美圆。
        
    报刊书籍:纽约所有的公共图书馆,全部免费。藏书极为丰富,一有空我就去读书,我感觉我快成著名学者了。
        
    社保医保:根本没必要买。我是偷渡,社保指望不上。公立医院看病不要钱的,有次急病,躺医院门口昏过去了,医院收治痊愈后,分文不收,哈哈,美国政府专门拨款替无力偿付医药费的代付了。
        
    健身:0费用。有时候在公园教美国佬打打太极拳,收点指导费,每月收入120美圆。钱不多,但都是些老头老太,他们钱也副富裕,将就吧。其实我啥拳都不懂,蒙他们的。
        
    卡拉OK:0费用。我很喜欢唱歌,但一直找,纽约就是找不到这玩意。中国城也找不到。
        
    桑拿:0费用。冬天教美国佬练完南拳北腿之后,去土耳其浴室。
    
    通信:0用零。我用根长线捆住硬币打电话,从来不用付一分钱。美国人好愚蠢,他们的自动电话亭很好作弊。
        
    上网:0用零。哈哈,图书馆,免费的。电脑很新,速度超快。
        
    饮水:费用零。大街上到处是免费饮用水。
        
    综上总计:支出,0元。收入,1350美圆。
    
    偷渡到美国有5年了,一直过着这样的生活,不懂投资,每月就这点死钱,总计积蓄1350*12*5=81000美圆,折合人民币大概64万。打算回家买个房子,娶个媳妇,然后和老婆再到美国来,继续失业,继续跑步、继续排队、继续教太极拳。

虽然某些地域省份比另一些更离谱更另类,但总体而言中国人整体吃的东西对西方人来说都很变态。西方人吃的肉类很单调,超市里不是牛肉就是鸡肉,猪肉鱼肉虾肉羊肉都摆在一尺来宽的冰柜旮旯里顺便出售,绝对是按销量分配。即便是他们所吃的肉,也都早已掐头去骨剔刺净身,绝对不让你联想到一点该动物生前的样子。反观我们中国的食物......除了没大规模吃人...

NBC在北京奥运期间出了一档节目,里面有个美国导游介绍中国一些风土人情,其中有一期是街边美食。该导游自然是众多单调食动物之一,他神经紧张地穿梭在热气腾腾的夜市中,尽管面带好奇的笑容,你仍然能够轻易地联想到他把不知所云的东西放进嘴里做bia za状前反复祈祷的紧张和摄像机一关立马呕吐出来时的诅咒,而整个节目也成了最没有食欲的美食节目。

我其实想说,这也真不能怪他,这些食物已经超越了他们对食物定义的范畴,就好象你不能保证不会对非洲食人部落族长敬上一条大腿(男性,多毛,味重)大喊:WTF! 我们吃起狗肉滋滋有味,西方人脑海中与这个人类最好的朋友嬉戏奔跑相依为命的场景却历历在目。即使关怀一句“你可以吃邻居的狗”,他们也绝不可以释怀。

所以我向来对能勇于尝试中国各种变态美食的西方人颇有赏识。我四天里带一位加拿大的朋友吃了牛胃,鸭血,猪食道,生长的竹子里的虫,以及白苍蝇(貌似)。我赞赏地看着面色苍白的他,心想:I can make this idiot eat everything!

Picasa now??

It said the Xinjiang separatists used the Facebook to communicate, and that's why Facebook is blocked ever since then. I guess that is also the reason why Youtube, Twitter, or Google blogger are blcoked. But my friend and I found today that Picasa (google online album) is also in the map! I do not understand. If it were because of the anti-government and porn concerns, I suggest we all wear a mask and hold a Chinese flag and try it again.

Testing entry

July 20, 2009 11:10 p.m. Beijing Time Many websites are still blocked or reblocked here in China after the Xinjiang riots incident on July 5, including Facebook, Youtube, Google blogger, Twitter, Mitbbs... It is very annoying. I set up email publish function before, and I am testing if it is still working. Please comment to let me know where you are if you can read this. I still won't be able to read this blog from China, but I can receive comments through the email. This (zhff.blogspot.com) will be my internship blog if it is working.

小聪明

班上有个小胖妞,鬼机灵,经常搞点儿小聪明。
偷懒不好好背生词,考试的时候着急了就画画儿。
比如,让写“beforehand(事先)",她卷子上写着 B4 后面画了个手。
考完试蹭过来可怜兮兮地望着我说:
老师,我要是过不了这门课,我爸妈就不爱我了。
我就是想让你知道,你现在正掌握着我是否变成孤儿的权利。
说完还偷眼看我哭笑不得的反应。
有个白湾(白人+台湾人的混血)姑娘,经常狂热地介绍我认识她的cousin,
甚至在我的facebook上留言:请和我表哥约会!
我开玩笑留言说:你的执着绝对值得期末加一分。
来天儿一看小胖妞也在底下留了言:
请和我亲哥约会!
请和我表哥约会!
请和我朋友约会!
请和我叔叔约会!
总之,除了我爸以外,我愿意帮你搞定任何人!

我在想什么

今天临阵磨枪为后天的历史考试做复习。
发现课堂笔记里经常会有自己的神秘点评出现。
譬如,在《新青年》创办初期,胡适和陈独秀还没有分道扬镳时,
我的笔记上红心圈了胡适,注:很帅!
陈独秀上则引出了箭头,注:I am sorry :(
