Woooo!


I gave blood. The lady who took stuck me with the needle was not only really good at it, she was cute too. She managed to hit me the first try, though she did wiggle it around to keep the flow going.

At one point she came up and was like, "Do you feel that vibration in the line?" Of course the answer was yes. I always feel strange when people take blood. I can feel it draining. So she moved the needle around until there was no vibration anymore.

So, no spurting blood this time. No trying both arms. No sharp stabby pain. Cute girl!

*grin* sounds a lot like when I give blood... I can always feel it coming out... and it's always warm where the tube lies across your arm

Yeah. It's this odd sensation. And the warm tube against the skin is always strange as well. Part of it has to be that you know that's how warm you are... inside.

In Dublin, when you gave a pint of blood, they used to give you a pint of Guinness. Would I be right in suspecting they do not do that here ?

I wish. I so wish.

Ooo, I like the warm blood tube. It's a very wierd feeling, but oddly comforting. Kinda like having a tiny, warm, friendly snake curled up on you. Mmm.

Wouldn't that be kind of counter-productive?

I mean, if you live in Dublin.. most of your blood probably IS Guinness..
