After getting settled in, it was present time! One of Ellen's gift was a pack of "nerd themed" temporary tattoos. She opened them on the spot and we started applying them. Mollie (seen here with Creepor Lawrence) went first and opted for a classy winky emoticon on her wrist.
Ta-da! It's hard to tell from this photo but it's a picture of an Atari 2600 joystick with a banner underneath it that says "OLD SCHOOL." (It also says something underneath in binary: 0011010000110010. Which if you convert to ASCII is "42." Maybe a Hitchhiker's Reference?)
Karen was lamenting that she didn't have any clothes that were more "piratey" (adjective of the year, BTW) so I offered to give her a piratey tattoo. Check out the bad-ass skull an' bones I managed to pull off!
