The time has come.
After years of uncertainty, after asking countless questions and being unable to answer, the time has come for me to know a great truth about myself. No longer shall I wonder where I fit in. No longer shall I be unable to answer the simplest of questions, stammering embarrassed excuses and offering feeble apologies for my ignorance, running away or changing topics to avoid my shame. Yes, the time has come, for you see...
I bought a blood type test kit off of the internet. ^_^
See, I have no idea what my blood type is. I've had blood drawn, and tested over the years, but somehow or other I never found out what my type is. But all that is about to change! Woo-hoo!!
Now, I know what some of you may be thinking. "Am-...Elisabe-... Whatever your name is, don't be silly! The internet is a frightening place, full of facades and lies! Surely you wouldn't be tempted by its many wares!"
Ah yes, a valid point indeed. But while I may not be able to trust the anonymity of the internet, one thing I can put my faith in as far as endorsing any kind of technology is the word of a Geek.
In more direct terms, I wandered over to ThinkGeek because of the Penny Arcade fire sale, and picked up a few shirts that I've always had my eye on, cuz they're being discontinued. And while I was there, I also browsed all the nifty technology for sale. I had to resist buying quite a few trinkets that could have considerably upped my Cool Geek factor. I mean,
LED faucet light? USB drink cooler? T-shirt with audio equalizer? I could go on, but point is, they got some pretty snazzy stuffs. If I ever get my hands on a whole load of disposable income, then one can only pray that their site goes down. Otherwise, I'll wake up one day, coming out from a long daze, only to discover that my pockets are considerably lighter, but my house so much cooler.
Anyway, getting back to the point, I am very excited about the prospect of actually knowing my blood type. Especially if I'm going to run off to Japan, where they use blood type as a horoscope thing, like how we use astrological signs. Big deal over there, or so I'm told. So, once my happy l'il package of pure joy arrives, I shall let y'all know how
it goes, and hopefully, what type I am.
*does a little dance of happy anticipation. That, or a seizure from all the sugar.*
