    Good for you, PP/Momiji. Way to support life and stuff. I need to donate ASAP.
    Yeah-- I mean, is it not better to have an STD and still live than to die on the operating table?

    And thanks, I plan on doing it again when I can. At least now I know I can't give 2 pints like I wanted to yesterday--I really would have passed out then!

    Well the blood drive hasn't been to my school yet but when it gets there I might do it.

    I actually love needles, it's a morbid obsession...
    Not that I'm a heroine junkie or anything.


    Anyways, I've attempted to give blood on several occassions and only succeeded once. My problem is that I am such a tiny girl, if I haven't had enough protein, or if it's that certain time of the month.... my platelettes will drop to the point where they're not comfortable with taking my blood for safety reasons.

    but i've thought about donating more:
    organs (when I die...)
    My mother will get my kidney no doubt - she's got Hep C (i can't remember.. might be B or A)
    Bone Marrow (I heard this is exceptionally painful)

    Boldly go.

    AIDS is still, sadly, labelled as the "gay disease". :/ I mean I cannot donate blood because of the things I have done, even though me and my boyfriend have no prior sexual experience meaning we are clean (as far as I understand it).

    Seriously, if you go to an actual clinic, get tested for AIDS and STIs, and turn out clean. You should be able to show that to the people and they should accept it (assuming it was a recent thing). Also, most people who are donating blood are usually the type that want to help others, not harm others. :/

    I'm not allowed due to tainted blood.
    I'd love to though.

    I would give blood except I have a severe needle phobia. I can't even watch other people get injections >.<
