Square
Pegs
I know I know,
it's been two thousand years.
Let me start by saying, I'm a square peg.
Almost everywhere around me I see round holes. This usually means that I need to shave off my corners a bit. That my friends, is the part I mind. No, hate.
As technology bombards me everyday with little snippets about every single damn thing in the world, my mind is ALWAYS, CONSTANTLY engaged. I even find myself checking my phone for updates at traffic lights. (Do not attempt to do this lowly, terribly, irresponsible act my readers.)
Someone is having a whale of a time, someone's kid is super smart, someone is clever and opinionated and gives a cute one liner, someone is bummed, someone is missing their dog, someone thinks of a hamburger. I take all these information in and realised that at the same time, my mind is merely engaged for as long as it takes to read the updates. All these smart and interesting and fun people are living their lives to the ultimate fullest and I'm at home watching Korean DVD??? (DISCLAIMER: I have a bit of cough you see, an itchy throat.)
It makes me envious. And a little bit jealous.
I feel out of sync with the amazing life.
My dullest moments are not worth mentioning and my most dramatic/dangerous/mind blowing moments are probably over. (Maybe except my future delivery of a baby which explicit details I shall not go into).
I very often wonder what is next in my life.
What do you get to top?
Would I be happy dishing out a hearty potato soup?
Or does it have to be sensationally jamie oliverish or so-horrid-you-had-to-blog-about-it to make it worthwhile?
Can I continue to be just a square peg in this round holed world?
DISCLAIMER II: Being a square peg doesn't mean that you are boring. It just means that sometimes you don't fit in. Anywhere. And I'm not boring I just have days where I like to hole up and disappear. But you already know that. @#$% if you think this makes me sound like a loser, you are smart and opinionated.

谢谢前面totoro的提醒，修改了一下：

方枘圆凿
【注：成语“方枘（rui）圆凿”的意思是方形的木钉无法钉入圆形的洞里，比喻与周遭环境不合拍。标题Square
Pegs的意思即为方形的木钉。】
我知道我知道，我已经两千年没更新了。
让我以这句话开头吧，我是一根方木钉。
在我周围几乎到处可见圆形的孔。
这通常意味着，我该削掉一点点我的棱角。但朋友们，这正是我介意的部分。不，是憎恶的部分。
科技的飞速发展让我觉得自己每天被来自世界的各类琐事轰击着，我的头脑一直在永不停歇地运转。我甚至发现自己在等绿灯的时候会拿出手机查看更新。（我的读者们请千万不要尝试这种低级、可怕且不负责任的行为）。
有的人过得很开心，有的人孩子非常聪明，有的人头脑聪明有主见并写出一句精辟的话，有人在郁闷着，有的人在想念他们的狗，有的人想起一个汉堡。我把这些信息全部接收进来，同时意识到，我的头脑只是在看这些更新的时候才运转。所有这些精明有趣的人都在无比充实地经营着生活，而我却只是窝在家里看韩剧？？？（声明：我咳嗽了，喉咙发痒。）
这让我羡慕他们。甚至有一点点嫉妒。
我觉得我与精彩的生活脱节了。
我最灰暗的那段日子已变得微不足道，而最激烈/危险/不可思议的时刻应该也已经远去。（也许不包括将来生小孩的那一刻，具体的细节我现在还不想去探究。）
我时常会想，下一步该做什么、会怎样。
你还想超越什么？
煮出美味的土豆汤我会很高兴吗？
或者，因为我好不容易煮了一次汤，是不是要跟杰米．奥利佛不分胜负【注：Jamie Oliver是英国电视明星大厨，以BBC烹饪节目闻名全球】因此来渲染一下，或是必须恐怖难喝才值得发一篇博客来发牢骚?
在这个充满“圆凿”的世界，我能否可以继续做一根“方枘”？
声明之二:作为一根方木钉并不意味着你是无聊的人。它只是意味着有些时候你无法委曲求全。我不是无聊，我只是会消失一段时间躲起来。不过你们也已经知道这些了。@#$% 但如果你觉得这篇让我听起来像个无聊的笨蛋，那也算你头脑聪明有主见。

这位someone同学回了这句话:
我觉得我们越来越像了，我指的是想法或思维，但你正经历的，我已经经历过了，你微博看多了，接受的太多了，所以受不了了。你盛不下整个世界，其实你也不必，停止想，停止想象。心在物，则物在；心不在物，则物不在。你就是你这个版本的，我就是我这个版本的，比较是没有意义的，因为万事万物无时无刻不在变化，比较本身是不成立的，想象是假象。也许痛苦是找到出路的必经之路，希望你能早一天想明白~ 爱你(╯3╰)
