All right, so I gave blood today for the first time in about ten years. The last experience I had, they had to stick me several times, and I was in the creepy little bloodmobile for over an hour.

This time went better. They asked me if I'd had sex for money, or sex with Africans, or sex with men, or sex with men who'd had sex with men, and I answered yes too all of the above (at the same time), but they let me give blood anyway.

I watched as they slid the needle in, just to see if I'd pass out. But I didn't. I suppose I'm not that giant of a weenie after all. But about two-thirds of the way in, I started to feel incredibly dizzy, so they gave me some cold compresses and some juice. Don't know what happened there. I guess they just sucked out too much too fast or something.

Anyway, I'd heard that blood stocks have been down in the last few months, so I figured I'd give it another crack. Not too bad, and I get free cookies.

So go donate some blood when you get the chance.
