Monster Hunter Tattoos!

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!

Still Alive!

This was a triumph
I’m making a note here
HUGE SUCCESS
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction
I was the Alpha…

we do what we must because we can
for the good of all of us except for the ones who are dead
but there’s no sense crying over every mistake
you just keep on trying until you run out of steak
and the killing gets done and we all have lot of fun…

….well, the people who are still alive

I’m not even angry
I’m being so sincere right now
even though you broke my heart and killed me
and torn into pieces
and threw every piece into a fire
as they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
Now the other werewolves are having a great time
and they’re out of patience, killing one at a time

so I’m glad I got burned
Think of all the things we learned for the people that are still alive

go ahead and leave me
I think I prefer to stay outside
maybe you’ll find someone else to help you
some one like Dajmer
that was a joke, haha, fat chance
anyway this steak is great, it’s so delicious and moist
look at me still talking, when there’s killing to do
when I look out there it makes me glad I’m not you
I’ve werewolves to run, there is revenge to be done
on the people who are still alive

and believe me I am still alive
I’m killing GAP’ers and I’m still alive
I feel FANTASTIC and I’m still alive
While you are dying I’ll be still alive
and when you’re dead I’ll be still alive
STILL ALIVE, still alive

…or not.

 

Yeah, I was the first Werewolf killed in Werewolves of the GAP Part 2, which is run by Nichos. The instant I died that song popped in my head so I fixed it to be werewolf-y. I think I got out at a good time, as the game seems to be getting a little to personal…

I Want My, I Want My, I Want My PS3

Lately it seems everyone and their mother has a PS3. I have been thinking about it and I really want one as well. Before I could careless about owning a PS3, I was happy with my 360 and my other older systems. Then I went to Colorado. I saw GAP’ers playing Burnout on JR’s PS3 and I played a little MGS4. I also got to take a peek at a few other games, like WarHawk, which would be an awesome game to play with the ‘Socom 2 gang.’ 

Another big factor for my recent want for a PS3, is the people that own a PS3 are the ones I want to play with. I cannot remember the last time I played online with my 360. There are no GAP game nights. The only games I have ever played online with my 360 are Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band…both which are available on the PS3. JR has a PS3, JANE has a PS3, and now even Chuck has one. To make it as blunt as possible: THIS BLOWS!

I got the wrong system. I can admit that. Sure all these RPG’s are coming out for the 360. I love RPG’s, but I would rather play a crappy shooter with my friends then an awesome RPG by myself. I hope this doesn’t come off as me being a selfish jerk. I mean, I am not mad at anyone for owning a PS3. I am just jealous, lol. Especially with the new Socom coming out and Socom2  Tuesdays being about dead. There is nothing for me to play with other GAP’ers. I feel like I am really missing out.

I have been thinking of a few ways to get a PS3. My first thought was trading in my 360 and my games. I do not know if I could actually do that though. I never play it, but I still like knowing it is there, if that makes any sense. I guess it’s just the crazy gamer inside me that won’t even let me trade in Unlimited Saga, which I will NEVER play. I thought about just trading in my 360 system and not my games, I can always buy a 360 later, the prices are really coming down. I am considering this still, even though Fable 2 is coming out, finally a game I might actually play online.

I had other ideas as well. Prostitution, came to mind. However, I am a 23 year old virgin, prostituting my way to a PS3 is not exactly how I pictured my ‘first time’, LOL.  Then again….wait no, bad Jenna! There is also the thought of putting one on layaway at walmart. I know I want the MGS4 bundle for it’s backwards compatibility. I also have a $60 walmart card I got for my birthday that could go towards a down payment. I am going to call around andsee if I can find a WalMart in the area that still has the MGS4 bundle, if I can find one then that may be what I am going to do. I could also apply for a Best Buy or Walmart card. I have no idea what my credit is though andthe thought of having another card…well I might get myself in trouble with that.

If I do get a PS3 then I have this guilty feeling. It’s something like, “Jenna you should be saving all your money for moving not buying a system…” Sometimes I wish that little voice would just shut up.

There is another plan for a PS3. If I stay in Iowa until December 16th all my Paid Time Off at work renews. I don’t use it, I quit, I get it paid out to me. That right there could buy a PS3. If I stay til January 2nd I would also get 3 attendance days paid out to me. It is a tempting thought. A free PS3 AND a few games, just for staying a few extra months. I have lived here 10 or so years, what is a few more months? I know JRANE stand by whenever I decide to move and that is awesome, but I don’t know if it is worth it or not. I would be REALLY risking the snow then…argh.

Any ideas on how to get a PS3, LOL?
