Hello, what?

My arm hurts. Not so much all the time, or even when I move it, but mostly if I try to straighten it out or bend it too far. It's because I gave blood yesterday. While it wasn't my first time, it seemed like the first time of the woman that put the needle in. I remember thinking, I wonder how she knows how far to go... oh, she has no idea. She went right through the vein. She backed out a bit, but not all the way and missed again. She backed out a bit, but not all the way again and missed once more. Then another girl saw and told her to just tape it down and back away, a very nice, young argentinian girl. She found the vein right away. And the water flowed like wine.

Are there any wine's that have something in the bottle? Well, imagine there is a wine that has something in the bottle, maybe to add flavor? You're trying to empty the bottle and it gets clogged. That's my vein. The blood was clotting. It had stopped for a few minutes before someone noticed. It had to be readjusted, then it flowed like wine again. But that same bottle cause it stopped again. This time she she just repositioned my arm and told me to roll it out.

Did you know there is a time limit on giving blood? You have twenty minutes from the first needle prick. I hit the twenty minutes. In fact, I didn't finish my bag because I hit the twenty minutes. Then they of course made me wait forever until she thought I felt fine. I felt fine pretty fast, they didn't take much blood after all. I must not have looked too good though, the air conditioner was on and I was freezing. I was also very laughy. I probably looked like I was having a seizure. Sweet!

Well, that was all. My arm still hurts. It's not really black and blue, though they said it would be. My finger is actually black and blue, which is lame. All in all, it was totally worth a $20 Best Buy gift card. I'm going to go out and get a hooker with it.
