W00t! I went to Colorado the last week of June! Had a blast!
I drove out on Saturday, June 26th. I had meant to leave my apartment between 2am and 4am. Due to a medical emergency and a police officer thinking I was breaking into work, I did not get on the road until about 6am. (I will spare the details as it will make this blog insanely long, lol.) The drive was LONG and there was a ton of road construction. I spent most of my time thinking of ways I could set up my PSP so I could play Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (MHFU) and drive at the same time…
I got to Colorado at about 4:30pm! We (John, Katie, and I) went out to eat at Red Robin (MMMM) my eyes were bigger then my stomach, (and their fries are too damn good, I ate about 48,587,346,578 of them.) I could not finish my awesome bacon cheeseburger. Once we were all stuffed, we went back to John and Katie’s for some Monster Hunter and some movies!
The next day was SUPER AWESOME DAY OF AWESOME aka Monster Hunter Tattoo Day! John started the day off by making awesome blueberry pancakes. I gave a blueberry to Lucy and she decided she liked me, all other trips she couldn’t really make up her mind, LOL. I have never seen a dog eat fruit before…
After breakfast we went to Sam’s Club! 6 lbs of Gummy Bears, 2.25 lb box of Laffy Taffy and 54 ounces of Skittles later we were off to the tattoo shop!
John, Katie and I were all planning on getting matching Monster Hunter Tattoos! We had a heck of a time deciding on what we wanted to get. We thought about the “MH Eye” symbol, the weapon symbols, perhaps a Felynx or Melynx. Then we saw the Fatalis glyph. Once we saw it, we all agreed it was the one.
We went to the tattoo shop, John and Katie know the tattoo artist, they got their Rathalos and Rathian done by him. We filled out some paper work. J and K wouldn’t let me see how much the tattoo was going to cost, it was a birthday present.
John went first, I am pretty sure it was just cause he was super duper scared!

JR before the tattoo!
Katie and I played some Monster Hunter while he was getting his tattoo. (I know MORE Monster Hunter…lol. We can’t help it, it is AWESOME!)

JR getting his tattoo!
While he was getting his tattoo I was trying to decide where I wanted to get mine. I had a few places in mind, but I wasn’t 100% sure. I needed to hurry up and make up my mind!

JR's tattoo! AWESOME!
After seeing his, I knew right where I wanted mine! However, I just unlocked my 2 or 3 stars quests on MHFU, so Katie was next!

JANE before her tattoo!
While Katie was getting her tattoo, I was ‘helping’ a little girl play Monster Hunter on Katie’s PSP. John had left to run to the store and was kind enough to tell the girl I would help her. John is a jerk.

JANE getting her tattoo!
I got up to take a pic of Katie getting her tattoo, I was trying to be all stealthy and ninja like…as you can tell she turned around and said, “You are taking a picture aren’t you?”
…if only my Sneak skill was higher.

Katie's tattoo! AWESOME!
John got back from the store while they were finishing up Katie’s tattoo. It looked awesome! Soon it was my turn.
As I sat in the chair, I noticed the tattoo artist had a SWEENEY TODD razor just like mine! w00t! This guy was awesome!

Me getting my tattoo!
I talked to the tattoo guy about everything from Fable II to religion. Trying to not move my arm, made my arm constantly twitch, lol. This was my least painful tattoo. I don’t know if it is cause of where I got it or cause I was relaxed just chit chatting.

My tattoo! MMmmmm Slimey!
I loved the way my tattoo turned out and I am very happy with where I decided to get it! w00t! A MONSTER HUNTER TATTOO! OH YEAH! *dances*

Dagger's, JR's, and JANE's MONSTER HUNTER TATTOOS!
Getting matching tattoo’s with John and Katie was awesome and they all turned out great! After the tattoos we hit KFC (I fricken love KFC) then headed home for some…wait for it…Monster Hunter, LOL, withCid! We played for a bit then went to see Land of the Lost! We are all Will Ferrell fans and I really wanted to see a Will Ferrell movie with them. Unfortunately the movie wasn’t all that great, though it did have a Daiymo Hermitaur in it! Plus I got to see posters for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, a preview for the new Harry Potter movie (July 15th! ….oh shut up, the books are great!) and I got to see Will Ferrell in his undies! So w00t!
However, there was even MORE that same day…

What could it be...?
What’s in the big green box? Well that’s for another day…cause my computer is pissing me off right now and I want to go play MHFU!
WOW those pics are friggen huge. I will go back and edit them when my computer stops being an ass….

The tattoos do look awesome!
I don’t think it is fair to tease us with “Due to a medical emergency and a police officer thinking I was breaking into work” and not elaborate…

LOL. The funny thing is, Julie went on a “Blogpage” (like a rampage – where she commented in about 50 blogs that I watch with my feed reader … ok, I am exaggerating.
) so I would finish the story.
