My vein spurted blood today. On a whim I went to give blood to LifeShare. Now, I don't approve of their policies. I think permanent deferral of blood giving if you're a man who's had sex with other men is ridiculous.

The first thing to say is that I am exhausted. I'm so tired I don't have energy to yawn. I've been sleeping all day. This morning I woke up at eight and took a shower, but before I did that I went outside and tried to start the big red van that I am currently borrowing/using. Of course, it still wouldn't start. Why is it that cars hate me ( Read more... )
