☆ 刺刺蝟的進化論 ☆

最近常常被人家說我是個很孝順的孩子。

也許是時代變了，唸書不拿爸媽的錢，聽爸媽的話，在許多人眼中就可以算是孝順。

其實如果是問我媽的話，她絕對說我跟"孝順"完全沾不上邊。

在她的觀念裡，孝順不是聽爸媽的話就算，而是對整個家庭，甚至是家族的一個交代。

每次回嘉義過節，爸爸總是會先繞去嘉義市買碗鱔魚麵還有一條長崎蛋糕再回到民雄爺爺奶奶家。然後他總提醒我如果出去7-Eleven看雜誌的話記得買幾盒森永牛奶糖回來。因為這些都是椰爺愛吃的東西。而媽媽總不忘買幾顆富士蘋果還有面霜給外婆。媽媽也常常唸我："妳要多學學妳大表姐，人家每次回來看外婆都會帶什麼豆花啊，然後我都要幫妳買..."

I never thought somebody could be so selfish to the extent that everything and anything she says and does all comes down to one word -- conceited.

who would complain to someone about being stressed out coz the supervisor told her to double-check newbie reporters' stories, and then when the other person says: "well, with greater power comes greater responsibility," she retorts: "hey, I'm the one suffering here coz you left this department!"

who would think that being a foreign affairs reporter "and getting to know all the diplomats who will probably put Taiwan on the map once I become close friends with them" automatically makes her superior to everyone else? 

who would assume that everyone in the office HAS to be nice to her ALL THE TIME, and when someone (like me) is in a bad mood and doesn't feel like talking (and I tell her that), she goes on MSN and tells everyone else that "CJ's so temperamental, why can't she leave her emotions at home?"

who would have private parcels sent to the workplace, and then get her coworkers to open them and tell her who they're from? does she honestly think that we would really think she didn't know who sent the parcels?

最近國外的朋友常常向我關心近況 － 
or rather, 台灣的近況；
知道我們報社在哪裡的也會問我去上班時
會不會有紅衣群眾迎面而來之類的
（我辦公室在中正紀念堂後面）。
而當我回答"沒啊，
我早上還爬起來看完王建民後才去上班"時，
他們更是驚訝於我的indifference －
因為遇到政治，我一向是很剽悍的。

一定要在標題先把我的新職稱highlight起來
因為之前還有人以為我要去蘋果日報了
(私以為在准許我去蘋果之前我爸應該會先把我吊起來打...)
沒有哦～我還在我們這個超本土的英文報做事哦
順帶一提  我們的報紙是義美的附屬部門...很詭異吧!!
但事實就是如此呢

上次因為World Cup決賽採訪權和我鬧得不愉快的同事，
這個月月初時去泰國做了兩個星期的志工。
其實她本來是要離職了，但主任大概是在人力不足的壓力下（因為我也跳槽了），
而拉下臉問她讓她留下來的條件。
她便跟主任說她想要從醫藥線調到外交線，而主任也首肯了。
只是她隨後便說她要去做國際志工的行程不能推掉，
然後就這樣出國了兩個禮拜。

I.Capacity (能力): 　

以前每每被問及"你覺得男女之間有沒有純友誼"的時候，
都會嘴硬的說有，因為我就有一卡車的"柏拉圖式"哥兒們
但最近我卻越來越覺得男女之間好像真的沒有純友誼
之前忘記在哪裡看過有人說，就男生而言
如果會選擇和一個女生"只做朋友"，也是因為有某種attraction在，
只是either是被刻意壓抑住，
或者是本來就沒有到會讓男生有"我想追她"的感覺產生。
不過換成女生的話應該還是差不多吧。
