隨便一些什麼
自從上大學以來,好像沒有遭過這麼意志堅定的斷網。拜宿網所賜,網癮這幾年被餵養的很大很深刻。而暑假這段時間某人不在身邊,實在極度依賴網路保持聯繫。極度無聊,一直開機確定網路有沒有恢復,沒有恢復就隨便看一部三百年前某人拷給我的影片,再來對著電腦就不知道要做什麼了。
關電腦的時候,就睡覺,煮東西,切水果,泡什麼東西來喝,整理房間。煮東西吃的時候,可以重新感受到以前曾經默默煮飯的記憶。沒冰箱,沒canggih的鍋具,一切只能隨隨便便敷敷衍衍,縱使買食材的時候彷彿經過認真的盤算。而這次總算真實的感受到寒酸這件事,真實的感受到東西很難吃,以前總是吃過就算了。以前總是隨便就忽略掉自己的感受,『難吃』本身被硬生生地吞到某個深不見底的地方。『難吃』的概念還存在的,只是備用,看什麼時候需要自嘲的時候用得上。
整理這四年累積的東西,有些很乾脆,有些就很麻煩。像書整理出來了,可是就不能就這樣目標明確地裝箱起來或拿去回收。好像為了對得起一些什麼,還要忍受著它們佔據書桌一段日子,看能否讓它們找到一些還過得去的去處。衣服也是。講義倒是很爽快地裝了三箱,放在房門外,第二天居然就消失一空(而這一天是禮拜六應該不是打掃阿桑的上班日?)。雖然這也是我想要的,畢竟省了自己搬三大箱紙張到宿舍門口處理掉的功夫,可是這樣消失也太乾脆了吧。萬一臨時想起廢紙中夾帶了什麼重要的東西,就這樣一去不回頭了。我居然對清理瓶瓶罐罐有著相當程度的耐心,明明是一些保養品樣品,好幾個30ml左右的小瓶罐,還真把裡面的內容全部集中擠到一個垃圾袋裡,然後把空瓶拿去洗乾淨。桌上看似空了很多,雜物還是四處散亂著,發現自己不怎麼在意居家環境的整潔也是最近的事。以前不在意,就徹底不放在心上;現在發現不在意,倒開始願意花心思整理,而我已經沒有什麼非忙不可的事情了。
泡東西喝也是在清理雜物。像從酒店拿回來的烏龍茶包,為了趕快讓它消失就泡來喝掉。奇怪的是,之前買的鮮奶茶還沒喝完,就跑去買了milo。Milo實在是暑假記憶的一部分。之前買了一大包鮮奶茶,準備隨時想喝時可以泡來喝,然而實在必須認真說一句,真的不怎麼樣。我大概需要徹底認定一件事實是,喜歡吃的或喜歡喝的,想吃想喝的當下就去買吧,而且只能買那當下所需的分量。囤積無益。
斷著網打這篇東西實在是很奇怪的感覺,好像明明沒有舞台卻還做著需要觀眾的事情。好久沒有打一篇這麼長的,煞有介事的日常生活文章。
