    Default I gave blood today

    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.

    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.

    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.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    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.
