那年夏天


連續第三篇家中抽屜啟發的文章, 就給它們命名為"抽屜系列"吧! 愛收藏舊東西的人就是擁有許多蘊含著珍貴回憶的物件, 可以無時無刻拿來看看, 百般滋味在心頭.

一向少寫日記, 記憶中中學時寫過一段日子, 大學反而沒有, 許多回憶已開始留在電子世界裡. 那時都慣用月歷把每天的細節用三言兩語記在月曆上, organizer是有的, 但偶然寫寫又被擱在一旁, 沒有其用武之地. 於是要尋找昨日的足跡都要翻看那些月曆, 除了去旅遊時會多點寫在organizer上.

1995年夏天, 是個難忘的夏天, 還有一年才畢業, 四個月裡, 記憶中住過14個地方, 包括自己的住處及友人的家, 以及酒店, 旅店等等. 那四個月悲喜交集, 和朋友一起當然是快樂的, 但也有不少難過的日子, 可沒有寫在organizer上. 以下是記在我那本organizer上的點滴, 都是很簡單的幾個字, 還有記載了那天看過什麼電影. 四個月內看了廿多齣電影和好些舞台劇, 可見當年已愛看電影愛得瘋了, 連朋友也和我一起瘋.

其實那個夏季經歷了許多"傷春悲秋", 但都沒有太著跡寫在organizer上, 或許二十出頭的我已懂不要胡亂把秘密都寫出來.

事隔十一個年頭, 一切仍歷歷在目, 當中許多的人物至今仍有聯絡, 有些在他鄉, 有些在香港, 亦有些失去聯絡.
