That's what my friends tell me to do. Some of them, anyway. I still have another five or so months before the tattoo thing clears up, so there's lots of time to ruminate. Then again, I could lie about that too.

"It's a birthmark! Satan and M.C. Escher are hosting wild orgies in my bloodstream as we speak."

I don't know. I'll sleep on it, but I know I'd feel guilty about one thing or another either way.

They'll test your blood for HIV and such before they use it.

The blood donor people have instituted a stupid rule. I think ignoring and circumventing the stupid rule is entirely justified.

Yeah, I know they test for all that, which is why the whole questionnaire process is such a damned crock. I wouldn't feel guilty about potentially contaminating the supply. I'd feel guilty about missing an opportunity to "ENGAGE" and "RAISE AWARENESS" all that.

Stupid latent Catholicism. Not that all this hasn't been raised before, but I'm kinda self-absorbed like that.
