I donated blood today. I am terrified of needles. I was really really nervous.
The actual process wasnt so bad.
Afterwards i had a nervous breakdown. I tried sitting in the lounge because i knew i probably wouldnt cry in front of people. It didnt work very well and people would see me before i could run out and would ask "Are you alright?" and i was stuck acting like a whiney bitch explaining why i was so upset. I guess the idea that i voluntarily let a stranger shove a big needle into my arm and take my blood just kinda shocked me that I actually went through with it. I have a fever now. and its freezing everywhere. I dont think im ever going to do that again.
the good news is that im going camping saturday.
