Well I guess this is actually the 2nd blog entry but really the first one was just a tester-outer. I can tell you I still feel a little ridiculous writing a blog. I mean really, how important does someone think they are that people are going to read something they wrote just because. But either way, it will keep me busy and give me something to do. And to all those people who DO end up reading this I have some rules and regulations:
1) This is going to be a blog/diary. I wont include anything too personal, but I want people to enjoy reading this (I am actually quite worried about being a boring blogger) so you many get more details than you would prefer to read because I am not just going to write about volleyball, because that would be extremely boring for me as well as you.
2) I am not going to be punctual. I WILL make mistakes. Everyone that knows me knows spelling and all that is not my forte. I will forget to capitalize my i's, (see what i did there) Ill make up words. I will have run one sentences and will most likely ramble. Just love me for who I am and realize that a good speller is not that.
3)Please comment if you want to know something specific! I would love to hear from you.
4) I am sure there are more, but that was all I could think of...ill make 'um up as I go.
Ok so now that we got all that out of the way I shall start my blog! Yee!
I am currently sitting on my flight from Dallas to Madrid. You could be wondering to yourself, "but Kylie, how are you writing on your blog when you are at a cruising altitude of 34 thousand feet!" Well I am working the system and just writing on my computer to pass the time and then I'll copy and past later to the blog. My guess is this us how many of my blogs will be delivered. For example, when we are traveling to games and I have nothing else to do. Because of this I will try to include the date that I write them at the top of each blog so that you can keep track in case I post a few blogs at a time.
This whole volleyball thing happened not even 2 weeks ago. I wake up one morning (it was last tuesday) to and email from my agent asking if I want to come play in Spain for a team with 3 other Americans right one the east coast. I tried to stay contained on the outside but inside i was screaming "HECK YA!! When can i leave?!!". So then I email him back and talk with the 'rents. Long story short, a whole passport fiasco later, and a few days where I was mildly freaking out in my head that it was all joke and someone up above was really trying to mess with me, here I am! I got my flight information 2 days ago. Lucky for my I was packed and ready to go a few days earlier. (Can you tell I was excited?)
Today, 10/10/10, (that has to be some sort of sign for good luck right....?) started not exactly how I had planned. I was really excited/nervous and was not able to sleep that much last night and slept through my alarm! Jeeez, lucky for me, my lovely mother woke up and we shuffled out of the house on time, which is always stressful. See dad is a travel expertista (example 1 of words I will make up) and likes to be on the carful side when it comes to traveling, so lets just say I had enough time to get my tickets, through security, and still had enough time to walk around the airport about 4 times. But I DO have to give him some props, I was stress free because of it. :) So I get on my first flight which was to Dallas and was only about 2 hours long. I slept and read for most of that.
I can tell you the reason that I am even writing this is because I have already read one book on this adventure of mine. Don't worry it was only about 400 pages. Yes yes, I know, I am a freak of nature! And might be slightly bragging but, fact is I LOVE to read and traveling always gives me a good excuse to put my nose in a book and leave the world behind. This book was ah-mazing! It is called "Her Fearful Symmetry". It was written by my favorite author. Her name is Audrey Niffenegger. She also wrote "The Time-Travelers Wife" (side note: for those of you who saw the movie and have not read the book, I suggest forget what you saw in the movie and read the book. Movie was nothing like it and the book is so good), which is my favorite book. She has a way of writing that is so magical. She explains things in ways where you as the reader can picture every little detail. Also these two books of hers that I have read so far are both love stories with a little twist. I'm a sucker for a good love story! I will be reading a lot while I am here I think and books are one thing that I dork out super hard too so I will probably write a lot about that and what I am reading currently.
Any ways, I think that is pretty good for my first real post. We have about 3.5 hours left in this flight and have already watched 2 movies and now just starting at the little airplane on the tv monitor move at a snails pace across the atlantic ocean.........
It is only 930pm AZ time...soooo I am not tired at all. I get into Madrid at 10am which is still only 1am AZ time and have lay over and fly to another place that I cant remember or spell, but basically I have no clue when I am going to sleep. Ya for oversea adventures! Talk to you guys soon when I am all settled!
