Hello everyone, this is XiaolinPrincess and I bet you're wondering what the blog title means. Well today, I gave blood at my school. This was my first time that I gave blood. Well first of all, you have to be at least 16 by the date of the blood drive date. You also have to be at least 110 pounds. I'm 130 pounds in case you wanted to know. You also have to get tests done and answer questions before you can give blood. The tests determine whether or not you can give blood. I had a close call with the test where your iron level is measured. When they first tested it, it was a bit low. Luckily, I was asked if I wanted to be tested again. Another lucky thing is that my iron level rose enough to let me give blood. So after I'm reclining for a minute waiting for the blood to be drawn, the girl next to me passes out. I waited a while before I got my blood drawn. They played music in the area. If I knew that, I'd have been listening to Folder5, Smile.dk, or "Weird Al" Yankovic. For some reason, I was feeling better while a pint of my blood was taken out. Maybe it's the feeling that you get when you're giving someone else a chance to live. I had pretzels and water afterwards. You have a choice between a bag of cookies or pretzels to eat while your drink options are water, orange juice, or soda. You also get to choose the color of your wrapping. Of course, out of green, blue, purple, pink, and red, I chose green. If you have any questions concerning donation blood, feel free to ask me.

No question today. I'm thinking about stopping the questioning part of my blogs because barely anyone answers my questions (or comments for that matter).

I broke up with my boyfriend. Why? Well anyone who is a member of the Off Topic Bar knows why. I like someone else. The relationship lasted over 2 months. Besides, I'm fine with being single for a bit now that I had a boyfriend once. I bet you're all thinking "About time you get a boyfriend Martina!" For those who say that, have a marksman with muscles with a side of fries. I came up with that a few days ago so sorry the line sucks.

What else should I talk about? Well since I don't know, I'll leave you guys alone. Remember guys, comment comment comment! I'll talk to you all the next time I feel like it. XiaolinPrincess out!

Ani: If I gave up my life, why would I be typing this? Brad: I was excited about the blood drive until the girl next to me passed out. I almost changed my mind then and there. Breaker: You'll have the chance to give blood once you're 16 (with parental consent). You have to be 18 without parental consent.

Off Topic Bar Union? Never heard of it. And no, don't send me a invite. I've only got enough time for two unions. Sorry. Anyway.... Dang, I've got nothing else to say at the moment.

Anyways is always good donating blood

Cyber: So you've donated blood before?
Posted Dec 16, 2008 4:02 pm PT
I'm not too sure... I've had my blood drawn before, but that was for something different. I'm not sure about my Blood type and that might prevent me.

I hope you're doing fine since you two broke up.

I thought you saved a dying squirrel or somethin, but giving blood is cool
Posted Dec 16, 2008 5:35 pm PT
XP: No, I thought you had a baby, not die.

Burner: I don't know my blood type either, but I know that the guy I have a crush on is O+ like my dad. My mom thinks I'm B+ like she is. Akatsuki: I broke up with him so I'm fine. qt: Where did you get the dying squirrel from? Ani: *facepalm* I'm not pregnant nor will I ever be until after marriage. You're crazy.

Posted Dec 18, 2008 1:23 pm PT
I would love to give blood, if... it wasn't for the small fact that I don't like needles at all.

Xana: If I was pregnant, I wouldn't be alive. Nicasso: You're like my friends. I thought I'd be fine, but I passed out today during 2nd period.

Yeah I'm a wuss, I know. ._. You passed out? Whoa that sounds scary.
Posted Dec 21, 2008 1:04 pm PT
._. Yes. Apparently, you're not supposed to know to drink extra fluids afterwards. They never told me. -_-'
Posted Dec 23, 2008 2:19 pm PT
Yea I've donated blood before and It feels really good knowing that you're helping someone.
Posted Dec 23, 2008 8:57 pm PT
I got a call yesterday from Red Cross and they said that I saved 3 lives.
