    很久很久以前,寫過一篇關於與異性共舞的文章,以華人來說,大概不是很多人都有的經驗...原因在於華人學子,似乎都把生活重心放在課業與才藝(現在還多了上網),少了社交,直到變成大學新鮮人,系學會或迎新活動辦舞會,才有機會與異性一起共舞,然而我們從小到大學的才藝,好像也沒有"共舞"這一項,因此礙於面子,或者是自信,舞會每到慢舞時間,在舞池裡那些活蹦亂跳的學子們退了場,往往只剩幾對零星男女在跳舞。

    羨慕嗎?

    看機緣吧,Adai曾說雖然她考到北醫,看起來就跟普通高中沒兩樣,她以為大學就應該像台大政大,有寬闊的校園,可以在裡面騎單車,坐在綠樹林蔭下談戀愛之類,結果完全不是,讓她很失望。

    罷了。我雖然沒有她那種學霸等級的才能,還好台中中興就有這樣的場合,小禮堂不但外觀像教堂,也是每年大學迎新活動舞會固定舉辦的地點,由於入學之前,我就已經有過在台北商展與異性共舞的經驗,那時大家都剛考上大學,彼此互不認識,沒有丟臉的問題,你甚至還可以貼近到異性的耳邊,聞到對方後頸的味道,跟對方說悄悄話,但是這種系學會主辦的舞會,要是跳得太爛,踩到別人的腳,會傳遍整個文理學院啊!!

    所以大一時的迎新舞會,我只在旁邊安靜地當觀眾,不去邀舞了,但我看同學在快歌的時候,一群人倒是跳得很開心。


    如果我考上其他的學校,人生的命運大概又會有所不同。

    這首歌我記得是Carpenters精選卡帶B面的最後一首,相當浪漫又輕快的曲子,很適合搭配當時的年輕回憶。


    Carpenters有很多我喜歡的歌,還有這個cover是我非常喜歡的。




    The hardest thing I've ever done

    Is keep believing

    There's someone in this crazy world for me

    The way that people come and go

    Through temporary lives

    My chance could come and I might never know


    I used to say, no promises

    Let's keep it simple

    But freedom only helps you say goodbye

    It took a while for me to learn

    That nothin' comes for free

    The price I've paid is high enough for me


    I know I need to be in love

    I know I've wasted too much time

    I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world

    And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

    So here I am with pockets full of good intentions

    But none of them will comfort me tonight

    I'm wide awake at 4 a.m

    Without a friend in sight

    Hanging on a hope, but I'm alright


    I know I need to be in love

    I know I've wasted too much time

    I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world

    And fool enough to think that's what I'll find
