I gave blood on Friday, my fourth time so far. Admitted, it was more to get a sympathy vote out of a woman in my life (Who stated shortly after that "I was a wonderful person, and that I should always believe it no matter what other people say". I rock.), but no matter how many times I give blood, it freaks me out. Something about knowing there's a needle sitting in my arm, slowly drawing the life-blood from my body as I have to open and close my hand to encourage it. And the more you think about it, the more you can feel the needle in there, jarring against the muscles in my arm. Still, the feeling you get knowing you've probably saved a number of lives just from that one session.

Still, I give blood regularly. Ever given blood yourselves? There are few people I've actually become aquainted who've got the balls to do it. And they get my eternal respect.

I'm a B negative, if anybody's interested.

Ive neva givin my blud but they toek sum of me blud for testin for any shit in it. They pushed sum freakin tube down me armpitts and started suckin my blud. Hard times mates, hard times...
 
No, I was going to do it sometime, then get drunk afterwards, but everytime I got drunk before so they refused me.

Probably would do it if I had a spare 5 mins and the blood donation truck guy said "excuse me, would you mind giving blood?" but otherwise I'm too lazy about it.

Cheers to giving blood :cheers:
 
I'd had a beer beforehand, and had several more afterwards. Makes nights so much cheaper.

Seriously, giving blood makes you a hit with the opposite sex. They're like "Wow, you're a hero!", and "Did it hurt? OMG I could never do that!!11".

Then again, there are people who will look at your arm and think you're a heroin addict.

I've given blood...................





........To about 100 pesky mosquitoes when i camped near a slow moving river.
 
Next time they come to get blood, I'm going.

(I couldn't put that without it somehow sounding wierd.)
 
I want to someday, but because of medical studies, I can't at the moment.
I get paid for the studies :D

"Doctor, I know I've lost a lot of blood, but why does my new blood have a head on it?"
 
I gave blood once. Found out I had type O negative, which is really good to donate. Then another drive came by and I was really depressed and didn't do it. And then I kicked myself even harder for not doing it and made myself more depressed. Heh.

But I'm definately doing it again, even though I found it a bit painful and nauseating.
 
I am not old enough but i have a phobia of needles so Im not sure if i would.
 
My blood smells faintly of alcohol most times of the day, I've found.

You're not supposed to enjoy it, you're supposed to do it out of compassion and selfless sacrifice, or possibly the pursuit of women. Still, I tip my hat to anybody who's done it. You've probably saved lives.

man, who talks like that (unless u were joking)
 
Meh, why should I? I made it, it's MY blood, you're not getting any.
I'm helping people with it? Well, let me tell you, every 5 minutes spent donating blood, it's 5 minutes in which I can't feed the blind or cure AIDS. So there.
 
[insert funny joke about only having enough blood to power brain and penis at the same time]

I've never given blood, and silly as it sounds i'd rather die than use someone elses.
 
Yeah, WTF?

I'm sure blind people can feed themselves.
 
Did it for the first time in November, gonna do it again in June. I was fairly nervous beforehand, because I had been drinking the night before anyway, but it was actually straightforward and friendly. Plus I got a cup of juice and a biscuit, and I was at work at the time - so it was kinda like an extra break.
I actually felt better afterwards than I had all day, felt more flexible and less tired.

don't ask dumb questions and stop writing like a retard
 
Signed up to give blood over a year ago and missed every one so far, I'm determined to make it to the next one.

Wouldn't wanna drink or smoke afterwards just in case I felt really ill... I don't like feeling ill.

Never given blood myself, but I almost faint when having blood tests.
 
Yup. Once each year since I've been old enough.

You lay on a bed and they stick ya, then you get all the free cookies and soft drinks you want, and a free t-shirt that will display to the world how awesome you are for giving blood. It's freakin' sweet.
