    it didnt hurt very much. only when they inserted the needle. in fact, when they pricked my finger beforehand, it hurt more. plus i got a cool tshirt and a bunch of free nutter-butters. free is better, right?

    Right. Good boy. Blood donors get +1 stamina and +4 defense against vampires afaik.

    srsly, giving blood is a good idea. They need it everywhere and all the time and in large amounts. You save lives giving your blood. Not only in theory but physically.

    The best part about giving blood is the cheap drunk you get when you go out drinking later.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Last time I gave blood in college, my friend and I had a "race" to see who could fill up the bags the fastest (I won!). I ended up almost passing out, and then ate an entire 14" large pizza and drank about 16 of those little orange juice containers that they were offering as 'free' incentive.

    I gave blood for the first time a couple weeks ago. At the end I was burning up, had blurry vision, tingly fingers, o joy

    And to top it all off I was one of the last people to go through that day so all they had left for treats was a few lousy "sandies" cookies.

    Supposedly first time donors and light donors usually get the worst symptoms and I fit into both categories.

    Still, I think our school has another blood drive around prom time and I'll probably donate again.
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli
