《Everybody eBay! – 後記》

I’m immune with eBay now.

My buying impulse diminished just like that.

Currently I’m doing remarkably well browsing without purchasing.

The dark side is: I no longer get to see my favorite UPS guy as often.

The bright side is: …well, I’m still thinking about it.

誰會料到，英明如我，在Ebay的海灣，也曾暈船。

有那麼一段期間，幾乎行走坐臥一切以eBay為中心，成天卯起來標、拼了命地買；如今回想起來近乎病態。

有一個月的時間，每週總有三個以上的包裹寄達。

也在同一期間，我發現了：FedEx親切有禮、早上送；DHL猛男成群、下午來；郵局阿伯喜愛聊上兩句、UPS遞送員換季後改穿短褲，很養眼。

終於到了搬家／回台日期逼近，為了不讓包裹的遞送有失誤，決定待手上想買的兩樣東西結標後，「先休息個幾天」再重出江湖。

可這麼一休息，到現都沒再涉足eBay，直到最近台灣阿巴桑們打算集體買旗袍，要我上去看看款式，才想起這段精神的出軌。

啊咧～我還真有點怕怕，萬一又無法自拔，來人啊，快一拳將我打醒嘿。

《 我的eBay逸品 》

好多、好多年前，逛東區我一定要拐到安和路Camper當時在台唯一門市瞧瞧。

更早，大學時我們流行買兩雙同款不同色鞋子，左右各一色，搭上牛仔褲或及膝阿婆裙，面無表情、裝酷大步行走，氣壞一票目瞪口呆的同學。

每種鞋買兩雙畢竟成本太高，我與最要好同學偏又尺碼不同，於是退而求其次：美津濃、亞瑟士、PONY白球鞋一雙，配上同圖案不同顏色襪子左右各一腳，這下氣壞了體育老師。

話說我心愛的Camper 獨家twins 娃娃鞋，同款另種顏色是更為天怒人怨的黑／黃搭配。

可以想像嗎？黃鞋黑點、黑鞋黃點，簡直要人命。

穿這鞋目的就在嘩眾取寵，出門引人側目是可預期的。面對驚嘆、詢問，我一貫羞赧地低頭抬眼回答：
出門趕時間，穿錯了。

按怎，看不順眼？來打我啊！



《KT Tunstall – Suddenly I See》

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
