Blood Donor
Aug. 5th, 2010 09:19 pmJust donated blood for the first time in *mumble* years.
I really meant to do so sooner, but every time I nearly got around to it, I came down with a cold.
I promise not to leave it so long next time.
If you are eligable to donate blood, I strongly recommend doing so.
Edit: Meant to say, they've stopped offering free Guinness after you donate. It was a curious anachronism that the Irish Blood Transfusion Board would advise you not to drink alcohol for 24 hours after donating, and then offer you a pint two minutes later.
