Today was a good day. I gave blood! Which makes me very happy because last time I tried I had too low of an iron count. The lady had a VERY easy time finding my vein and I was apparently the quickest donation all day. So it was the best possible experience I could have had :)
I also got an abnormal amount of compliments today. Teachers (3 out of the 4 actually) saying I was very "intuitive" and "one of the clever ones," etc., and random people on my attire/appearance.. like that they liked my shoes, my shirt, my ring, and my glasses.
It was really strange, and it made me feel me very nervous/embarrassed (especially the teacher compliments because they were all in classrooms full of people, ack) because well.. I'm me. I don't take compliments well. Plus it just made me wonder if am normally very stupid, or that I dress so horridly that people have to make special mention of it when I'm not? Don't answer that, that was rhetorical.
I think it was the "be nice to me, I gave blood today" sticker. Even the compliments that came before the blood-giving. They anticipated that I'd have it some point in the day, obviously.
