I have tried to give blood. The preliminary test almost made me faint.
The iron test? Lordy. Are your ears pierced?
Yes, and the second after they were I started crying bloody murder and wished I hadn't agreed to this plan, but it was too late to stop. I think I cried for twenty minutes actually xD That's why I take care to keep them from ever growing up, ever, because I like to wear earrings and I know I couldn't bear getting them punctured again, in fact I twinged just now thinking about it.

Also, that was 2nd grade and I hadn't had the ordeal of as many needles sticking me as I have had since (for example, tetanus shots). Also I wasn't so easily grossed out by the idea of TEARING FLESH (for example, hog wire up the toes, cat food can across the pinky).

Basically I thought about it too hard.

(when I got immunized for college, the nurse lady realized I was freaking out and did some matronly soothing act, but it still took a while to get over it ;o)

[edit- I kinda want to throw up now ;o]
