While at work yesterday, some people came by to tell us that the blood mobile will be out in the parking lot of the strip mall later on in the afternoon.

Since its been about a year or so since I have given blood, after work, I went over there.

Sad thing is, sure, when I got there, they had just finished setting things up, but there were only two other people inside. Which just goes to show you, not many people are willing to take a needle.

At any rate, I feel good that I helped out in some way (unless my blood expires on some shelf somewhere) and I got a t-shift (heh) and free tickets to the Imporv (even though I can't use it on certain days and for certain people).

I myself would, but for one I'm underage(there are rules in place against young people giving blood), and for two... I'm a bit afraid of the weakness afterward. I can take a needle no problem, but I hate being weakened in any way.

Lol. I despise needles with all my heart. It takes my doctors a while just to get me to calm down and take the needle so they can check my blood. I put up quite a fight when it comes to getting poked with needles. I can't stand those thing penetrating my skin.

I give every time I see them at school.I should probably donate more often...but then again they should probably come around more often instead of relying on people coming to them.

Oh yeah? Spiders are probably a lot more afraid of people than people are of them, but needles HURT LIKE HECK. Why? Doctors just can't seem to avoid poking our nerves....

I'm not brave enough to get stuck in the arm by a needle mainly because I hate needles. We're proud of you Anya!

Last view: 6141 days 		I was always one of the youngest in my grade. I think it had to do with me attending kindergarden in New Jersey but middle and high school in Michigan, there was probably a cutoff date difference (because I had kindergarden in NJ, all of my schooling started in a year determined by the NJ cutoff date).

At my high school I think you had to be 17 to give blood.

I think it's more concerns about the sterility of the place you got your tattoo/piercing.

I admire her ability to get poked with a needle that many times.
