(no subject)
So I gave blood for the first time today. ^_^ I got a cupcake and a brownie. No, I didn't do it for the free food, but it was nice a nice bonus. And now I have an excuse not to do the dishes (can't risk getting my arm wet- yes, it would have been very vigorous dishwashing). I do need to go buy some Gatorade however. Grocery store trip!
It's really interesting the random superstitions (not meant in a derogatory way) and other miscellaneous beliefs people have, though. I called my mom to tell her about donating blood, and she had a little freak out. She actually told me that Chinese people don't do well with giving blood. This statement was apparently supported by the fact that my dad felt faint and all-around horrible after he gave blood once. I know that in China and various parts of Asia most people really don't like giving blood. Interesting difference from the US.
And now I'm going to go drive home so I can vote ridiculously early tomorrow morning. Should have voted early, but I feel like I will make a somewhat more informed decision on Tuesday than I would have last week. I'm still a bit confused about the candidates for local offices like commissioner of insurance and auditor and whatnot. And the judges, oh my gods, so many judges.
