"So what do you think of this, so far?" I asked.
"Think of what?" she replied.
"What do you think of this blog entry so far?"
"I'm sorry," she said, with a tone of confusion, "I'm not sure which blog entry you're referring to right now."
"Oh, the one I'm writing right now."
"But, you're not writing a blog entry right now. You're not writing anything in fact."
"Well, yes and no. See, I'm recording this conversation. And later I'll be typing it out into my blog and it will be posted verbatim. Essentially, I'm writing my blog entry. Right now. And guess what?"
"What?"
"You're in it!"
"I guess I am."
"So then," I said with more confidence now, "what do you think of this blog entry?"
"I guess its pretty good," she replied.
"You know," I thought aloud, "it is kind of meta."
"Is it?"
"I think."
"I could never tell when something was meta or not," she said.
"I'm pretty sure this is meta."
"Wait," she said suddenly. "Is it meta now? Or meta once you actually write it into the blog?"
"Well...I guess...now. Because this IS the blog entry. Just in spoken word form, you know?"
"I'm not sure though. Because its not in your actual blog yet."
"Thats a pretty good point."
"So when does this blog entry end?"
"Now is as good as any other time," I send, thus concluding the entry.
