Donating blood was actually more fun then I thought it would be. Andrew, Niya, Sam and I went to the Manulife Center (Bay and Bloor) to donate blood last Thursday. I didn't realize they asked you so many questions though. Besides giving the actual blood, the rest of the time is devoted to question period. All of them about your sex life. Most of them are just funny, I tried to hurry the process along by telling her I didn't have a sex life, but she's like for legality reasons I need to do this. And she started all over again! One of the questions was: Have you ever had sex with a man, who may have, even just once, have sex with another man since 1977? Now that was funny, even if I did, first off: doing it with a man that old is just creepy and gross, and secondly: how would you know? that's not exactly over-dinner conversation.
All the ladies taking blood where Filipino and I don't think they realized I was Filipino, so they were having their conversations complaining about the other people who were taking too much time on their breaks and stuff like that. I thought it was funny. It was like my real-live entertainment for the afternoon while I was sitting there watching my blood drain outta me. According to the nurse, I have really thin veins. I gave her a run for her money when she was trying to find a vein to stick her big-ass needle in. She wouldn't let me watch her put it in and for good reason. I took a peek at it and it was gi-hugic! (aka really big) I understand how watching it go in could put you out. I still have a mark from where it was. At one point, I asked Sam (who wasn't allowed to donate) how my blood looked:
Sam: It's purple!
Me: WHAT? is it supposed to be purple?
Sam: well... more purplish-red then purple
Me: oh okay... *tried to get up to look*
Nurse gives me a look so I sit back down
When she unhooked bag, it looked like it was going to burst. I personally think she took more than necessary. Andrew's didn't look like that. Mine looked liked an overstuffed baby! I surprisingly didn't feel dizzy afterwards. It was more like 5 hours later I did. When I was at home, talking to people on MSN did I almost fall out of my chair, I felt so dizzy. But I'm okay now. I think my arm regained feeling too.
On Friday, my Error Test for Physics (aka Errtst) was due and, of course, I left it to last minute so there was this BIG line-up to write it on the computers. While in line, this funny Chiense guy said: Well, if velocity is distance over time and we've moved nowhere in the last hour and a half. Our velocity is zero." Now, that was hilarious. I don't think I laughed so hard in awhile. My friend, Semra, was able to find me someone she knew so I could butt in line. I'm so evil, but if I didn't, I'd still be in that line. We spent of the time guessing, since I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I thought it would: here are some numbers, add and what's the signficant digits for the answer. But no, they were some crazy ass questions. At one point, I asked this guy if I could borrow his calculator since I couldn't figure out how to get my calculator to do Standard Deviation and I forgot the formula. And he calculated it for me! He ended up sticking around and helping me do the rest of the questions since I didn't know what I was doing. All I can say, is that he kicked ass. I forgot to ask his name though. Oh wells, I attacked him I was so happy and Semra was like, enough before you break him. *lol* Not my fault, I would've failed if he didn't help me.
I walked into my Physics lecture late and my Professor was looking at me so I waved to him and he asked me if I was waving to him and I told him I was. And so then he said, you walked in late and you're waving to me? Why? I replied why not? And I sat down. Then I left 10 minutes later since I didn't understand what he was prattling on about. *shrugs* I'll just read the textbook.
Oh, overall my date to the ROM was fun. Mind you, most of the exhibits were closed so that sucked but I still had fun. A lot of the exhibits reminded me of biology and evolution. I don't think I can handle another educational trip, it's just not as fun when you know why these things are there. It's better when you're oblivious. Other details, I'll leave out.
I saw The Grudge on Saturday with Aaron, Lee and Vicky and it was scary. Scary Movies + Me = Me in love. I love scary movies. The heart racing, the scary creatures/plot, the music that makes a not-so-scary situation even more scary. I'd take a scary movie over a chick flick any day. I had so many mini heart attacks throughout that movie. But it was so worth it. Definitely something you wanna see.
Oh, I finally got my new glasses, I picked them up on Saturday. I can see again! Woohoo.
I was searching around for a cellphone, cuz I want a new one and I like this
one. I already have a cellphone, but it's been giving me so many problems that I just give up on it. For example, when one says call, it helps if you actually call. I remember it wouldn't connect half the time and it would still charge me for a call that I technically didn't make! Stupid thing, plus it goes all wonky on me in the middle of a call, like I won't be able to hear anything after awhile and then I have to call back to finish my message. It's so stupid. *shakes her head* And since I don't use my poor excuse for a phone, the parentals are like I can never get a hold of you. Well duh. So now I have to convince them to buy that one for me. Oh and maybe an iPod, cuz those are cool and I want one. Especially since I can't find my CD player anymore and I wanna be able to listen to music while I'm in the library. I'm such an expensive child.
I better get back to work. *groans*
A note on the quixotic mood: I don't know what it means but it looks cute so I picked it.
