I'm uninteresting!

Donated blood today. I hadn't done it since high school, even though I kept meaning to. It's funny - every time I see the vans on campus I'm like "I should go donate." Then of course when I actually do, I'm like "WHY AM I DOING THIS?" Cause I get all nervous and blabby and what have you. Slight phobia of needles and all that.

Then as I was

Ah, the lovehate of giving blood. The last time I tried.. I ...failed. They couldn't squeeze a sample out of me, and when I started feeling faint they told me to leave/made me lie down and have juice.
Weak. ^_^

Hey, at least you tried!

One of the workers there, a male worker no less, was being all friendly as they took the blood and all because he knew I was nervous. He turned to one of the other women there donating with me and said "See, this is the difference between guys and girls. Girls will be scared, but they'll come try anyway. If a guy's scared they're not even going to show." Cause, you know, no man wants to be seen acting all wussy around blood and needles if he doesn't have to.

Oh god, I could /not/ bear to be in the same room as a needle. I'm one of those ones, you know, who hyperventilate and scream when they have to have needles.

Quite commmendable of you to give blood^^

Yeah, needles. Don't like. Had to look away the whole time, like "If I pretend it's not there..."
