My first blog regarding my extended weekend will start with Friday, on which day I went to the All Blacks versus Fiji game.
Before meeting up with my friends to head to the game, I went to meet some other friends who told me I absolutely could no go another day without trying a local ice-cream shop. In addition to this, they had made plans to get their ears pierced. I was more than happy to join them and had told them that I too had wanted (once upon a time) to get my cartilage pierced.
Well, it would appear I had miscommunicated my intentions for once I joined them, one told me that another was rather nervous about it and she had told her to not worry about because I was going to do it along with her. This meant that I was not allowed to back out. I was a little dumbfounded, but at the same time excited to finally get it done. I will not lie, it has been a few years since I got a piercing and i was definitely nervous.
The thing about piercings that frighten me is the sound of the gun. It always surprises me when it goes off and I always fear that I will move. This gun however was a very silent one as it was all manual. No spring or anything! So when it was done, I felt rather stupid for being nervous (in addition to there being no pain). So now I have yet another piercing! Along with my chain, it is hardly noticeable whatsoever! ;)
After that, we treated ourselves to the ice-cream. This place sure knows how to do business! If you chose a single size but two flavors, you get two heaping scoops for the price of one! And the flavors are delicious! A definite must if you ever visit Dunedin! It is called Rob Roy's Dairy and is on the corner of Albany St. and George St.
So after that little adventure, I went to join my All Blacks fan friends to head to the game! I showed up at their door with one minute to go before the taxi arrived to find most of them with their faces painted. Feeling left out (especially since no one had told me this was happening) I grabbed the pot of black paint, took a small scoop of it, spread it on my hands and made an impression of my hand across my face to make up for it. Many loved it and I think it turned out rather well (even though I look more to be dirty around the mouth than purposefully painted).
So we all loaded up in the vans and got to the stadium with plenty of time before the game. And what a game it was! First we got to see the famous haka which was performed after the Fiji team did their traditional dance, and then the All Blacks just pummeled the Fiji team to win by a whopping 60-14 points! Just incredibly fun and entertaining to watch with some amazing points scored by both teams! A really fun night! Someday I certainly do hope to see another game, but for this trip it will be the one and only, especially since the All Blacks don't play again in the South Island during the World Cup.
Once we returned home, I chilled out and ate dinner with my good friend Morgan before I headed to my room to pack for my unexpectedly long weekend full of adventure! But that story will be saved for another time!
Until then, this is W.W.A. Rhondiggity, signing out.
