I'm B型! And it may be weird to a bunch of you, but I only found this out today. Yes. I'm 23 and have just figured out what blood type I am. When I went to the BOE today, they just happened to have the blood donation bus set up outside. Since it looked like a good opportunity, I donated blood for the first time (didn't make the weight requirement in high school and then I kept piercing my ears).
For a second, I thought they were gonna tell me, "No," because my blood pressure was really low. And then when I was actually in the bus to do the actual donating, they covered my arm in heating pads and a towel. Hmm... The bright side, is that I now know my blood type.
Then, while at the BOE, I mentioned that the ceiling in my kitchen has been leaking water, so a bunch of people came by to take a look at it this afternoon... and then I went out to eat dinner with my supervisor's wife. We went to a really nice Italian restaurant... and I forgot that I donated blood and what that means. Only got through 1/3 of my glass of umeshu before feeling faint. Didn't even make it to the bathroom before collapsing on the floor. I always have these embarrassing moments when I'm with my supervisor or his wife.
Anyway. Home now with a huge bottle of Pocari Sweat even though I hate that stuff. Boo. Oh well... will definitely remember this for the next time I donate blood.
