纠结了半天
终于爬上来写博

两天没听VOA
原因是迷上了一个游戏：《新剑侠情缘》

我这人就这样
极度缺乏自制力
所以老妈平常也特别担心这一点

也不知道自己在想什么
反复听着一首歌都忘记切

orz...我到底在干什么？
难道这就是传说中的“玩物丧志”！？

简直无法想象这样的生活

我必须改掉这个毛病
要坚定！ 要淡定！

哎~明天早上早点起床
陪老妈打完羽毛球以后就会来听VOA!

困了 累了 想睡了...

记录下
沪元9999时刻

继续努力哦~~
哈哈~~~

喧闹的人群中
陌生的面孔匆匆略过
感觉每张脸都是你的轮廓
黎明破晓后
多想再一次亲吻你刘海遮住的额头 安慰我

我走以后
你现在的生活
会不会也偶尔想起我
那所谓的以后还是朋友如何去做
你曾经说我走以后
希望还有联络
能够聆听彼此的苦乐
说实在的我已不能理智对待了
