And, we’re Back!
I bet you have no idea who we are, but when Sui first started writing….four years ago?…No, I think it has been five years now, since 2012. Hold on while I lose my marbles. Five Years! Stupendous! We are Sui’s peanut gallery, and would push her into writing and posting because she was so shy and unsure of her work. I still remember reading, That Dog, Young Jae, and smiling because I thought she had a lot more to give, and it would be amazing. Well, the We is Scot and Moon. Sui’s original fans.
We lived with her then for over a year or two…after she started writing and publishing it
out. Around 2014, we all had a displacement. Our jobs are not easy to deal with, we’re constantly on the move, or setting out on adventures across different parts of this strange planet. We separated, and Sui sort of moved from here to there, and here to there….okay, she moved a lot. Now, we’re having an incredibly time as we’ve all managed to circle back to living in one house together. Yass!
We’re older, stranger…definitely not wiser, just hurt and learned to hide it better, deal better. Sui, my dear friend, has written so much, we’re amazed and stunned and awed, and of course teasing her silly for her dedication. Hence, the Peanut Gallery has decided to join Sui’s blog, and basically, jump and down here and there, spilling on adventures, activities, and insane things Sui is always up to in between all the writing. Hoping our time together takes us longer than two years this time.
Scot: Should we talk about falling in love? All our mothers are worried about us still being single?
Moon: I’m worried about still being single…
Scot: laughing. (Moon input: he laughs like a mad man) I at least have a willing candidate. Though dating is seriously the new-already-married.
Moon: Rubbing your happiness on us, you’re evil you know. Sui’s mother is the most frightening. She thinks Sui is going to petrify from being single.
Scot: (Immitating Sui’s softy voice) Yah! You crazy bastards, I’m a happy single woman, stop backstabbing me behind my back.
Moon: More like a crazed woman who is married to her keyboard and the billions of characters swimming in her brain. We still love her though. And you, who is reading this.
This strange band will keep you posted on the new stories on Sui’s desk, and the fun activities we might get into living in our new spiffy home in Nairobi. An uber green place, a quiet place, but seriously…I miss the beach in Diani, so we might visit there often. And share pictures. Nothing is more healing than the sun rising over the sparkling blue ocean. So,…Okay, we’re done with this introduction. In case you see strange posts on Sui’s blog and wonder who has hacked this space, don’t worry, it’s just one of us (Scot or Moon), or both of us.
Now, after this raging intro – We’re off to celebrate Chuseok! Happy Korean Thanksgiving! Lots of food and tasting Sui’s songpyeon. Will tell you if we got sick eating Sui’s cooking. Its a 50/50 with this one. Meanwhile, we take three days off and pretend we don’t have jobs, and simply laze around. Sui-noona you’re not allowed to edit this part out!
‘Til Next Time.
