No, seriously, give blood. :) I gave blood yesterday I filled out the paper work, they hooked me up and voila! I gave blood. They gave me cookies and a drink. They told me not to do anything strenuous, but dad made me drive home on a standered!! That was scarier than the giving blood. It was pretty cool. I urge all of you(meaning they people I hope are reading this) to do it, provided you are able and aren't afraid of needles! It is almost pain-less and the paperwork takes more time than the actual giving, or it did for me 'cause I have excellent veins! They give you cookies, a beverage and urge you not to do any strenuous activity (which gives you an excuse to get out of housework).
And to leave you with some parting words by Spike from Buffy... Blood is life, lackbrain. Why do you think we eat it? It's what keeps you going. Makes you warm. Makes you hard. Makes you other than dead. Course it's her blood. So go forth and give the gift of life!!!
