The blood drive was today; I was in it pretty much just for the neon bandages hahah. I wasn't scared at all about it beforehand, but as it got closer, I got more and more nervous! When it was finally my turn to go up, and get my blood ... tested? Or something? The doctor asked me how many glasses of water I had to drink today, and I was like
oh shit, none! But that sounds pretty bad, so I was like "... One." To which he responds, "Only one?" To which
I respond "Yeah ... I wasn't really thirsty." So he made me go outside and drink some water lol. They let me pick the bandage color. I chose green, lol. But yeah, the whole donating blood thing wasn't so bad. Except for when they stab your vein with the needle. I was
not expecting them to dig in at an angle, so it did hurt a little, but after that it was fine. I was just kind of staring at the needle poking out of my skin, kind of like
Huh. Well would you look at that. Then they covered it up with a gauze pad so I couldn't stare at it anymore, so I stared at the tube filled with my blood ~ They gave me some rubber thing to squeeze every 3-5 seconds to make the blood come out, but earlier, Jong said that he just squeezed the hell out of that thing, cuhs the faster you did it, the faster you were done with it, and hell I wanted to be done, since it was already lunch, so I was squeezing it as fast as I could, except the doctor saw and she was like "Slow down! Give it some time to come out!" So after that I just did it when she wasn't looking hahah (it got really hard towards the end though, cuhs I got all tired!). Then I got a cookie. : D

We had to fill out a form before donating blood, and some of their questions were kind of weird. D:
"MALE DONOR: Have you had sex with a male who has had sex, even once, since 1977 with another male?"
Me: ... >_______>


So yeah. When everyone found out I was still planning on going to the swim meet later today, they were all like "O_O DON'T DO IT. YOU WILL PASS OUT." And all the doctors were like "DO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. DO YOU HAVE PE?
SIT OUT." And I was like "... O_O;" Sara donated blood too, but she was all scared about Keach and Johnson getting mad at her, so she took the bandage off (even though you weren't supposed to for another two hours; I didn't want to take mine off at all cuhs that was my whole reason for donating! xP), which I thought was stupid. Because I flat out told them I was donating yesterday, and they weren't thrilled about it, but they were fine with it. And idek, I think Sara's too scared to get in trouble sometimes. Anyhow, I did not pass out, but I did end up taking off the bandage cuhs it was restricting my arm. ;o;
