when i got my tonsils out the nurse told me not to look at the needle. Once its in, its okay to look only when I am donating blood. I donated once in high school, after partying all night...perhaps thats why the first vein collapsed. Then they went for the other arm...they got a good amount of blood but the vein also collapsed. They said I didnt look good, but I dont remember feeling that bad -OMG - just remembered, super weak in the late afternoon, could barely walk, but at that point i felt fine but they made me lie down on a couch in the library entrance (3,000 students) with a blanket over me and ice packs on both my arms. About half the kids that walked in left after seeing me. I guess I was green. I had no idea. passed out leaving the next time i donated, and they told me to stop :) the passing out sucked. ice bags on my neck! that was 1993 and i still grimace from the pain of the ice...i am from miami. and i do not know what short means.

"Short" in this case meant "a small amount" of time. thatguychuck January 29 2008, 03:09:48 UTC

Thank you, and welcome to the journal.

How did you go about finding my journal? I certainly don't mind, but I am curious. It surprised me to see someone commenting on an entry I had made months earlier.

are you going to a blogging conference in boston? I was on their page last night... or from a comment left else where. But I dont think I realized it was an old entry. if its not that, some link somewhere... thats what halo scan is for :)

the thing in boston is it. someones last name sounded familiar, like a visitor to my blog. and i found yours interesting enough to read a lot of it. but i am a junkie... and your finance is beautiful :)
