Chris: Well, why don't you have a think about it and then call me back over.
Emily: ...but.. this is OUR blog.
Chris: Ok, well I need to change this song so I can think better.
Emily: Fine. What are we going to write about?
Chris: I'm STARVING! I'm going to get something to eat.
[Emily waits at the computer while Chris rummages in the cupboards and finds a not that great packaged, Korean brownie. Chris downs the brownie in about two bites. He sits down next to Emily.]
Emily: Ok, what are we going to write about.
Chris: Tag me in.
[They converse and Chris begins to type, "We moved to Korea to avoid having to make a decision about where to live".]
Emily: No don't say that!
Chris: But it's funny.
Emily: I don't care if it's funny, I would like to be taken seriously - by adults.
Chris: But people don't have to take it seriously, they know we are joking.
Emily: I don't think that people will assume from a joke that we actually prayed about this, that we believe it's where God has been leading us and wants to use us, that we want to test out living overseas with a long term perspective, or that we want to save money for more study.
Chris: [Silently concedes.]
Emily: [Listens to the previously chosen song. ] I don't really like this style of music.
Chris: But - do you know who this is?
Emily: It's Bloc Party.
Chris: [Shoulders slumped] Okay.
Emily: Maybe we should say something about our schools?
Chris: Shouldn't we explain the title of the post first?
Emily: [Responds with a healthy dose of sass] Ahh yes.
Chris: We live on the outer edge of a city on the outer edge of a continent that neither of us actually come from. If you take the freeway north out of Daegu and come into Chilgok, keep heading north, past the old ladies selling some sort of vegetable and a Baskin Robbins, when you hit the rice paddy take a right, go past the junkyard and we are the first apartment building on the right.
Emily: We would just write the address but a) we aren't totally sure what it is and b) neither is anyone else in Korea.
[Koreans use an address system that no one here seems to understand, so they give directions based on landmarks.]
Emily: Alright, I think I'm done.
Chris: What about our schools.
Emily: Eh, more blog posts to come. If we save it for later, we will get more blog hits.
Chris: Well played. How should we sign out? Catch you later? Catch you on the flip?
Emily: Ye- no...
Chris: Then how?????
Emily: Just end it. We don't need a salutation.
