Because people need it and if there's anything I'm good at it's laying around, bleeding and eating raisins.
Do you volunteer your time or yourself to things? What type of volunteer work have you done in the past? I've done a little of everything except disaster relief. I would like to do that someday.
Tell me about your voluntarism. Or your bloodgiving. Do not tell me about you vampirism. Because ew.
edczxcvbnm had an Eagle Scout project that myself and other friends of ours helped out on. We rebuilt dug outs for a little league field. Sadly, James Earl Jones did not come out of a cornfield.
What do you have against drawing blood from biting???
Anyway I give blood. I kinda stopped during the second half of 2011 but I started again in 2012. I still have to wait until I think either Mar or Apr before I can give again. I forget. I should check.
My blood type is A pos
I can't give blood.
I'd love for people to have me pumping through their veins!
I've given blood on several occasions because I'm nice like that. I don't think I can for a while anymore since I got my ears pierced. :p
I've done a buttload of volunteer work in the past. Bragging about it kind of ruins the goodwill though, so I won't tell you exactly how awesome I am. I can't donate blood because needles freak the smurf out of me and I am always sick/in need of my health within the timeframe that the folks roll up.
My cat drew blood from me once. Other than that, I usually help girls out with heavy manual labour that they can't do themselves, or just don't want to because I'm there. They usually give me food in return.
Where are my B positive blood type bros at?
Anyways I tend to get really light-headed if I give blood so I don't do it. Unless it's at the doctor and they have to.
I volunteered at a food bank for a while because I had some friends who were doing it so I tagged along for a while. Mostly I just remember putting scoops of dog food into little plastic baggies.
I haven't done anything like that since then. However, I have been known to toss Child's Play Charity $5 via my cell phone if I've been playing a really good game lately and I remember just how much I fecking love video games and how much sick kids should have them too.
The blood bank is full of jerkstores. I'm nice to them when they call me because they're jerkstores for a noble cause, but they keep calling me to tell me a baby will die without me, and I tell them I moved, so they ask for my new address, but I tell them to please just take me off the list because I don't need to be called every other week, so they say okay, and then two weeks later they call me again. From the same blood bank two hours away from me.
My favorite volunteer experience was the Special Olympics. It was oodles of fun!
You can, JuliRiv. They ask you about it and I told them about my dermal anchor. All the nurse said was "Was it a sterile procedure?" and I said yep.
Wait, I just remembered volunteering for this thing at school which was like... some sort of mini-Olympics thing. My job was to take race results to some person somewhere who was keeping track. Once I took it to the wrong person and the whole thing got delayed by like a half hour.
Yeeeeah.

I do a lot of charity stuff with kids. Haven't so much lately but I use to do stuff.

So many ways to go with this.Quote:

On me.
"I'd like something else of yours going through me."
My blood is A negative. Finding this out made me sad because my whole life I've always tried my hardest but can never do better than an A-.
I do volunteer work sometimes, but not voluntarily. I'm usually coerced into it via guilt, blackmail, etc.
I feel compelled to tell you all that I had this thread open in a tab while doing something else, and I looked over and the tab said "I gave blo..." and my mind filled it in and I was kind of perplexed for a few seconds
My friend got turned away after getting her septum pierced. o_OQuote:

Yeah you are pretty underweight BoB. Come to america, I'm packing on the kilos.
I'm very happy to say my volunteering history is one of two reasons I could go to any college I wanted.
I have over 2000 hours of volunteer work. I teach VBS every year, I give blood three times a year, I help at shelters, I taught remedial classes in high school, and volunteered at a hospital for a year.
A lot of my american friends cannot give blood for various reasons (sometimes sexual)
i just tell them all to lie but half of them have a valid reason not to lie. The other half are lazy and selfish
Just because you visited norway doesn't mean you can't lie about it.
Jeg er PG. ASL?
there is no way you donated blood before you were 13. The Red cross doesn't even let you until you're 17.Quote:

I don't actually know what my blood type is, but I did give a crap load if recently. In terms of volunteer work, I'm not going to name it all, but I did volunteer for food drive before. It was rewarding in many ways.
Shiny if you donated through the red cross they can tell you.
Very jealous of you, I am. I can never give blood because the second the guys are in town, up comes my cold sore. I know I'm a little scared of needles but bugger me, that's one heck of an involuntary reflex :(Quote:
