<div class="IPBDescription">::vampire::</div> Muwahahhaa, geuss what i did today? i went to the blood service place and i donated blood! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
it was great, they took all my blood and now i'm a vampire, well, ok, that's an exageration, they took 450ml, <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
i got cookies and juice and everything, and i did something good for other people, i feel so happy! glee! i got a fancy pin and everything (picture attached) i'll definately be going back in 56 days to donate again. they said the little finger "poke" was the worst part but they lied, my veins run deep and they had ti stick the needle in deeper then usual, it stung a little bit, but it barely hurts anyway. have any of you fellow NS'ers donated blood? and if so, why? i did it because.. well, no reason, it's just a good thing to do, hell, i have blood, it comes back, it doesn't hurt to give it to others for when they need it. as it turns out my blood isn't just going to someone for a transfusion, apparantly the blood gets split into three different components involving the platelets (spelling) and all the other parts of blood, so it can help three people, so it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy :3
if anyone has any questions about the whole thing go ahead and ask em, and i'd like to hear your guys'es opinions on the subject. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Here's a hint, if you only eat toast for 4 days straight you will be turned away if you try and donate.
Soon after my 17th Birthday.
Because it rocks to help people.

Squeeze your hand into a fist rapidly to get the blood out faster. See if you can beat my time.
(warning: you will be lightheaded as all hell when done, so don't drive for a while)
i'm slow <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Assuming you ever had an injury that necessitated a blood transfusion (I would think getting shot in the head counts), you should be happy as heck people donate blood or else you wouldn't have anything to worry about, at all.
And that pin you got, Spyder, makes you look like a dirty Commie.

I'm very happy that other people donate their own blood selflessly, but I'd still rather not loose any more of my own blood.
so it does.... comrad...
i think i have AB blood type, though i'm not positive.
*poke poke nudge nudge* get it? get it? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Meh, seriously though? You did well and you should be proud.

You're terrible for that <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I'd like to donate, but alas, I am not of age. not to mention it'd help me figure out what the hell my blood type is.
<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Type O:
Type O's are outgoing, and very social. They are initiators, although they don't always finish what they start. Creative and popular, they love to be the center of attention and appear very self confident.
Type A:
While outwardly calm, they have such high standards (perfectionists) that they tend to be balls of nerves on the inside. Type A's are the most artistic of the blood groups. They can be shy, are conscientious, trustworthy, and sensitive.
Type B:
Goal oriented and strong minded, type B's will start a task and continue it until completed, and completed well. Type B's are the individualists of the blood group categories and find their own way in life.
Type AB:
Type AB's are the split personalities of the blood groups. They can be both outgoing and shy, confident and timid. While responsible, too much responsibility will cause a problem. They are trustworthy and like to help others.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I wonder if there's any truth to it? I've never trusted anything like astrology or horoscopes, but I do put some belief in the zodiac system, even if it's more miss than hit so to speak.
i just drain my own blood into a bath and roll around in it....
<_<
>_>
something about my dad's AB- and my mom's A+ blood mixing is fuxored up real bad 0o' I can only donate to like, very few people *unglee*

Dunno, the type A fits me at least a bit, then again they are all vague enough and simmilar enough that I could pretty much fit into any.
Good point. I think that's the basis for all of these systems. Unless you are a polar opposite, you can fit any of these.
but seriously, that's spookily accurate >.>
I donated too, since I just turned 17 in Feb.

Thats right, you can only donate to other people with the AB+ blood type. Any other donations and you would kill the person or at least put them into shock while their body attacks its donated blood.
I my self have A+ blood, which means I can give to A+ and AB+, but no one else. I haven't donated yet because I'm to young.
Also its interesting to see how those blood types play into racial stereotypes. IIRC my genetics teacher said that A blood types come from Europe and B blood types come from Asia. Not to say that those types don't mix, but primarily they are found in those regions.
More likely drug use, the druggie. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
drugs or man sechs, one of the two Talisen is guilty of.

Possibly Both. At once.
