very exciting experience. this glrl i knew from many weekends ago was like give blood. super, it had been about 18hrs since my last meal, but I've got 40 mins to kill before class.

as they cut the seal to the main bag 1 litre and going to finish the sample for my HIV/disease test bag, I get so light-headed I could almost see light. memorable feeling.

give blood on an empty stomach.

I basically pass out when blood is taken from me.

[censored] needles.

I used to give really 'happy' blood back in college. Hope nobody got piss tested right after one of my pints.

i don't mind needles, but I love giving blood on an empty stomach. i could only imagine what heroin feels like, I'll continue to live vicariously through being light-headed.

I give blood alot. Every couple of months usually.

Getting drunk afterwards if f'n nuts.

Apparently they don't test for pot at most labs, usually just for illness. At least that's what the nurses told me.

The blood you give is not tested for drugs. It is tested for HIV, hepatitis and syphillis.

Heh.

First time I did that in '81 and they handed me the AIDS flyer, I freaked out a little bit. I remember thinking, "Gay men, junkies, Hatians? Fatal? Damn, that's a lot of people, why have I never heard of this?" Welcome to the new world, dude.
