I loved getting my blood donor card. Of course, that was back before I stopped giving blood.

What type are you? I'm A-positive. If only the A+ applied to my GPA as well...

You've donated blood?

I can't give blood for other reasons.

Posted: 4/29/08 at 6:00pm

I'm O positive.

Woot! I pretty much thought it was the coolest thing ever. I mean, really? Blood is so neat!

I just realized that I don't know what type I am.

Posted: 4/29/08 at 6:03pm

I didn't know until today.

I almost couldn't donate, being borderline anemic. But they pricked my other finger and I checked out ,so they let me. It gives me such a high, I can't even tell you. Kind of sick, but whatever.

I gave blood a few times as soon as I got old enough to do it. I figured that the potential to save lives was important enough to tell a little white lie.

Now, I can't for plenty of reasons (having gotten a tattoo in the past year and gone to Africa in the past five), but I'm not sure how I'd feel about it anyway. Yes, I think it's wrong that gays are prohibited, but the fact that I live in an area with a high rate of infection and am sexually active (hypothetically, anyway, not that there's been much going on down there lately), even though I practice safe sex, makes me wary of even the tiniest possibility of something bad happening.

I just read that Angela Basset is going to be a regular cast member on ER for the final season.

I wonder what John Wells is gonna do next.

I love ER and Third Watch.

I don't see why you can't give blood just because you're gay. Its a stupid rule. Sure, there's some risk, but there's the same risk with heterosexuals as well.

I'm home from dance. Just checking my e-mail and turning in for the night. Love you all!

*hugs*

Gay people can't give blood? I've never heard that before.

Any man who has ever had sexual intercourse with another man is prevented from donating, as well as any woman who has had sex with a man who, before that, had sex with a man. I believe there's some kind of time delay for the second, but teh gey bois are banned for life, by current standards.

That's ridiculous.

So tonight was my last night back in my hometown before I return to my apartment out east. I just finished an EXORBITANT amount of alcohol and I am only sightly drunk...oh and I just whooped about 8 of my closest friends' asses in Balderdash.

Ivan's grandparents and aunt and uncle got into town tonight and when we got back visiting with them, Shia had chewed through his harness.

I dunno how he did it, but he did. He's so destructive!

morning dears! finally passed that d*mned biology test

I stayed up all night finishing my essay. I ended up writing a eulogy for God. Do you have any idea how hard it is to present a coherent quasi-philosophical argument at 4:30 in the morning? Oh well, it has a title page, two epigraphs, and a clever webcomic to end it, so at least it LOOKS like a cute paper.

Now off to talk to random people on the street for a journalism survey, then to present my project to my way-too-smart class, then to a meeting discussing next year's plans for my scholars program (when I'm not even going to be in the country next semester), and THEN I CAN SLEEEEEEP.

Heart y'all, wish me luck!

G'morning!

Still sick...but I danced...so now I'm way tired, weak, and sick.

Hahaha, my friend Lauren was doing pirouettes and suddenly her hip/thigh did something and she fell to the floor in immense pain and then stood up for the next round of pirouettes. It was so dramatic. She's one of our best dancers!

If you look at my FBook, there's a "Which Hartt MT11 are you?" I'm a Lauren. It's hilarious, I'm gonna send you all the quiz and see what ya'll get!
