Here goes nothing.

How do you describe excitement? What makes it the feeling that it is? Is it the twitch in your hands as you try to move through your daily tasks pretending nothing of merit’s consuming you reveries? Or is it that empty stretch in your chest somewhere between your voice box and your heart that builds with each waiting moment? Maybe excitement should be characterized by the way your limbs tingle or the way your mind seems to accelerate, the cogs in each corner of your brain spinning in double time.

Excitement…makes me jittery. It makes me want to laugh when no ones told a joke- it makes me want to dance like an idiot (which I all too often do). Some things are little: almost being done with chores, making plans for the night, hearing my phone buzz and knowing it’s the boy I've been crushing on.. and sometimes its bigger… like idontknow… anticipating a trip to china?

We leave for our next big adventure in five days. On July 11^th we’ll board a plane and head for the other side of the world. Its always funny, the beginning part because... What am I suppose to expect? I don't even know what to be excited for. I’ve hardly looked at an itinerary. I always just go with the flow knowing my dad will take care of everything.. Man he and I fight- but when it comes down to it, he plans a hell of a trip.

So without any idea of where we’re headed or what were about to do I guess that leaves me to plunge in the pool with my eyes closed (which happens to be one of my favorite things). There’s just one thing that will be different…and that’s well this! I want to keep a journal of this trip.. so started a blog- and hopefully I’ll continue to write about my feelings, thoughts and adventures in the future. I’ll be blogging whenever I can get to a computer. So if you bother to follow my journey I’ll be here.. on a spinning world:)
