親愛(ài)的室友

Dear Roommate，

A few things you should know: I love Christmas music and 1)am prone to 2)breaking it out in early November. I am a heavy 3)soda water， and 4)Gatorade drinker， but don’t worry， I always recycle.

I read. A lot. Often at 5)odd hours of the night. I know how to work a flashlight so it shouldn’t be a problem. I have 6)zillions of books for you to borrow if you want.

I am an 7)avid 8)Cup of Noodle customer， sometimes having it for dinner four times a week. If I turn into a Cup of Noodle like my mother predicts， please tell her that I didn’t suffer.

I love 9)board games and I challenge you to a 10)Sudoku race anytime， anywhere.

I’ve been told that I talk to myself too much. I promise to make you laugh. My dad gave me a 11)Filipino nose and his passion for 12)pranks. If you find your car filled 13)to the brim with 14)Styrofoam peanuts， 15)forward all hate mail to him. He also gave me terrible eyesight. If I mistake you for a 16)bedpost， please don’t take it personally.

I love 17)answering machines and am known to change the 18)recorded message weekly. I will probably wear socks with sandals at least once. If it bothers you， I’ll make sure not to tell people I’m your roommate.

I am what is known as Not a Morning Person. Not Morning People do not enjoy the hours before 10 a.m.， unless there is a football game on. Not Morning People have no problem with other people getting up before 10 a.m.， unless 19)said people do something that would cause a Not Morning Person to wake up.

Lastly， I like long walks on the beach and 20)cuddling. Just kidding. If you can 21)put up with all of that—and as long as you’re not a 22)Yankee or 23)Patriots fan—I’d be honored to share my freshman year with you.

親愛(ài)的室友:

一些你應(yīng)該知道的事情:我喜愛(ài)圣誕歌，而且習(xí)慣11月初就準(zhǔn)備好狂播。我非常愛(ài)喝汽水和“佳得樂(lè)”運(yùn)動(dòng)飲料，不過(guò)別擔(dān)心，瓶子罐子我會(huì)分類處理好，方便循環(huán)再用。

我經(jīng)常讀書(shū)，常常熬夜閱讀。我知道如何打手電筒，這樣就不會(huì)有問(wèn)題了。我的書(shū)不計(jì)其數(shù)，如果你需要，可供你借閱。

我是日清“合味道”杯面的狂熱消費(fèi)者，有時(shí)候一周會(huì)有四次把它作為正餐來(lái)吃。如果我像我媽媽預(yù)言的那樣，變成了“合味道杯面”，請(qǐng)告訴她我并不痛苦。

我喜愛(ài)棋盤(pán)游戲，我會(huì)在任何時(shí)候，任何地方，向你挑戰(zhàn)“數(shù)獨(dú)”游戲。

有人告訴我，我太愛(ài)自言自語(yǔ)了。我保證會(huì)逗你大笑。我老爸遺傳給我一個(gè)扁闊大鼻，以及他那愛(ài)搞惡作劇的基因。如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)你的車?yán)锶麧M了聚苯乙烯泡沫粒，請(qǐng)把所有的咒罵郵件轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)給他。我糟糕的視力也是遺傳自我老爸，如果我錯(cuò)把你當(dāng)成了床柱，還請(qǐng)你不要介意。

我喜歡電話答錄機(jī)，大家都知道我喜歡每周更換錄音提示的內(nèi)容。我可能至少有一次會(huì)穿襪子配涼鞋。如果這樣做會(huì)令你煩惱，我保證不會(huì)告訴別人我是你的室友。

我向來(lái)不早起。不早起的人不會(huì)享受上午10點(diǎn)之前的時(shí)光，除非這個(gè)時(shí)間段里有足球比賽可看。不早起的人和那些上午10點(diǎn)之前起床的人不會(huì)有沖突，除非是那些人做了某些會(huì)吵醒他們的事。

最后，我喜歡在沙灘上悠長(zhǎng)漫步，也喜歡擁抱。開(kāi)玩笑的。如果你能容忍以上種種——而且只要你不是紐約洋基球隊(duì)或者新英格蘭愛(ài)國(guó)者球隊(duì)的“粉絲”——我會(huì)很榮幸與你一起共度我的大一生活。……
