Rachel Rants: Camp Green Day/ December 17th - January 18th.

I am currently wetting myself with excitement in anticipation for what will be the most amazing month of my life.

December 15th will be my last day at work until the new year, were I shall bug everyone stupid going on about how excited I am. The next day, the 16th I make sure I am all packed and annoy the living crap out of my five flatmates and my boyfriend going on about how excited I am. Then, the next morning my friend Jojo and I fly out of Christchurch and arrive in Auckland. We may have a snoop around the international terminal before heading to our hotel. By this point I will probably have taken around 12 Billion photos.

A trip to a supermarket for sensible camping foods will probably be called for. The last time I concert camped I made myself so ill with energy drinks, lollies and caffeine pills. But this time I shall be well behaved and eat carrot sticks, apples sandwiches and drink lots of water. From this point on I plan to sit in my sleeping bag outside the Vector Arena. We're planning to go halves on a game of Twister for the occasion.
Hopefully I will have my Green Day jeans. I haven't started them yet but it's my plan for after work tomorrow. They will look like the ones I did for the MCR concert, only Green Day, obviously. [MCR Jeans.] [And Again.] Although, as Green Day have considerably more songs than My Chemical Romance, one line from every song isn't looking too likely. So I'll just do my favorites.

So, for me, anyway, the 17th will be spent outside the Arena being stupid and chillaxing with whatever other fans turn up a day early. I know a few people going to one show or another. The hotel is right across the street which is also handy because it's likely I will take another 12 Billion photos and need to charge my camera. After a night of sleeping in the street in the biggest city in New Zealand I'll wake up more excited than I thought possible. My boyfriend's Christmas leave starts that day, so after whatever the army makes him do that day, he flies up to Auckland to see his family and has promised to bring me some supplies. I'm not sure what they are yet, but I'm hoping for Vodka. Actually no, I don't mix drinking and concerts, I'm one of those drunks who forgets stuff and that would suck.

Each time I have been to a concert at the Vector I have had a Doodle Bear for all the fans to sign and write a message on. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for one for this trip. Timothy, the MCR Bear. Edward, The Panic! At The Disco Bear. It's Tradition.

After epic queuing and excitement, that night I will see Green Day live for the first time. It has been my dream for years, ack. I'm so excited. Obviously I can't go into too much detail here as I have no idea what will happen. I just have my fingers crossed for 'Minority' so I can hear my favorite line, live. "One light, one mind flashing in the dark, blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts."

Afterwards, I'll go back across the street with Jojo, upload the next 12 Billion photos I took, have a shower, brush my teethies, grab my sleeping bag, head back across the street and do it all again. Yup, sleep there that night, wait all day and then go see my favorite band for a second time. I have no doubt that after the second concert I will be totally, completely, 100% waaaasted. And just want to crash and sleep for a million years. I want to pick up a tour t-shirt at some point from the merch stall. Then my boyfriend will come and pick me up from Jojo's hotel, he will drive us to his parents house were I get to meet them for the first time (Eeep!) and then comes the sleep I was so desperate for.

The next day will be December 20th and that man promised me photos will Santa Claus, so dammit he's taking me to a mall to get my picture taken. So we'll stay with his parents for a few days then fly back down to Christchurch the morning of the 22nd and roadtrip for three hours over to the west coast where we will stay with my mum and brother over Christmas until the 27th, when we will drive back to Christchurch, only to fly up to Auckland again to spend a few days with my boyfriends family, then some friends of his are hiring a house on the beach for New Years so we'll go there for a few days. Before joining the army and moving to Christchurch, Cam was an outdoor instructor so he's taking me to his old work 'Tree Adventures'. I'm absolutely crapping myself but it should be fun. So we're living it up in Auckland until the 14th of January, we fly back down to Christchurch and as the next day is a Friday I do what every girl does the weekend before her 20th birthday. I'm hiring a bouncy castle. Yup. Party at my place. Drinks and stuff to jump on, what more could you ask for?! My Actually birthday is on thee 18th... The day I start back at work. Lol Awesome.
