水瓶座邀天秤和金牛赴小白屋作客 

吃了美味的布朗尼之後

平日里看著好笑帶著萌樣卻一本正經的表達不清的金牛變得伶牙俐齒

從描述身上的各種奇特感覺到自己的人生理論

古希臘城邦里的演講也不過如此

當然人家是不會重複100遍地說哎呀我應該去學藝術的學戲劇的我現在就是藝術家了

平日里就自說自話地水瓶還是自說自話的

腦神經不容易被痲痹的後果就是獨醒

獨醒者不斷地重複 餓麻 要吃竽園麻 要吃草莓麻 要吃豬腳湯麻 要吃冰激凌麻 要吃冰激凌配上草莓麻

而平日無法不勤懇地說話只是為了調節氣氛的天秤終於懶得說任何一句話

用晃著的頭在空中畫出一個一個帶著50年代先鋒氣息的小動物

適時給演講者一個肯定nod 用心感受身邊無與倫比的美麗

在某些方面

我是一个很传统的人

比如，我始终认为一年真正的开始是农历的新年

所以今天对我来说才是新一年的开始

比如我认为年夜饭应该在家里吃

吃什么不重要 重要的是围坐在熟悉的环境里 不用急匆匆地吃完2个小时的饭各自回家

比如我认为春节就应该放放烟花炮竹

不管有多吵 我都满怀欣喜地看着巨大地烟花在窗前炸开

如果仔细看 每年都有新的品种出现

然后在11点55分的时候搭电梯下楼

看我其实胆子很小的爸爸在一片硝烟中點那些炮

然後吸進許多pm2.5

春晚當然還是要和家人一起看

在經歷了多年的不屑一顧之後

最近幾年才明白這一時刻的意義完全與電視里放甚麼無關

今年奶奶燒了一桌菜

我很客觀地進行評價

希望奶奶每年都能繼續燒年夜飯 並且在我的指導下得到長足的進步

Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag. She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. You see the weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow.

She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.

Buy her another cup of coffee.
Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.

It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas and for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry, in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.

She has to give it a shot somehow.
Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.

Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who understand that all things will come to end. That you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.

Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilight series.

If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.

You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.

You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.

Or better yet, date a girl who writes.
