So yesterday I went with Dan to give blood. Haven't done it in a LONG time. I always say I will, but I'm too lazy to cart my ass over to the bloodbank. So when Dan asked me if I wanted to give blood with him, I thought it was a great idea. Helping someone out. And I've got a pretty popular blood type. And free cookies and juice! That, and hey, I'll lose a couple ounces. COme on...it's all about me! Heh heh. Just kidding. So it's the coolest thing to see you life essence flowing out of you, into that little plastic bag. I was afraid that I wouldn't pass the tests or the questionaire. Here's some of the questions that stumped me for a little:
Those as just the ones that I remember. I had to hold my giggles. They had a hard time finding my vein, and I guess I've got slow moving blood, because they kept on coming by and asking if I was squeezing my little stress ball. Someone came in and left during the time I was pumping out my juice. And once I was done, some blood squirted out, but the guy didn't see it. So while he was processing my stuff, I was watching my blood clot on my arm, and I had the strangest urge to lick it. Must be the vampire in me. No wonder I don't like sunlight and I have such a hard time putting on makeup because I can't see myself in the mirror!
Anyway...my arm is still sore. Don't really feel any different without that pint of blood, though my right hand has no feeling and my fingers are blue. Just kidding. But it IS pretty cold, which is weird....
