Go to a Concert of a Favourite Artist

[31-03-2012]
After having received the band's (Evanescence's) signatures, I then attended their concert that night at Vector Arena in Auckland. Although it was a little sad that I had to attend alone, it was an amazing concert and worth every second and every cent! If only it could have lasted longer... here's hoping it won't be the last time I see them live!

On March 31st 2012 one of my favourite bands, Evanescence, was doing a signing at JB Hi-Fi on Queen St in Auckland. Having taken the day off for the concert, I was able to go and meet them and have them all sign the second half of my ticket. Here I was able to meet the lead singer and a personal idol of mine, Amy Lee, shake her hand and get her signature. The ticket shall forever remain framed as reminder of the amazing event and successfully crossing this entry off the list.

Watch One Of My Favourite Comedians Live

[09-11-2011]

On Wednesday 9th November, I flew from Christchurch to Auckland with my best friend Melissa in order to watch Eddie Izzard's show 'Stripped' at the Civic Theatre. Eddie Izzard is one of my favourite comedians of all time, and thus absolutely counts for crossing this off!

Get a Tattoo

[01-09-2011]

I’ve been planning on getting a tattoo for a while, and it was an easy second move on my list. I decided on the design weeks ago, a nine-tailed fox spirit, and booked it in at Absolution for this afternoon because it is the first day of spring: my favourite season. I also realised it marked the one year anniversary of Mel and I being best-friends, and she got hers done at the same time, making it all the more special: I am very happy with how it turned out!

Swing in the Snow

[25-07-2011]

Seeing as how I love snow, and Christchurch saw its first snow in roughly three years, I decided to make the most of my day off work and go for a walk to the local park on Peverell Street. I started swinging with the snow all around, and in the midst of the swing it started snowing again for a solid ten minutes or so. Not quite as magical as I’d romanticised, but very enjoyable and an excellent start to crossing off my list.
