Another interesting experience

I seem to be collecting those recently.

Not really TMI, but those people who are squeamish may want to miss this bit of this entry out. Just scroll down til you see this:

And I’ll put a gap between this bit and the story. So, start scrolling now.

Right, so, to the story.

On Thursday, I gave blood. I was supposed to do so a couple of weeks before but I, erm, kinda forgot. So they sent me another reminder and form.

With the form filled out, I went along to the session. Did the usual health check and iron test. (They won’t let you give blood if the level of iron in your blood is too low.)

Instead of the usual wait to actually donate I went straight to the bed. (I wasn’t getting special treatment, it’s just that they weren’t busy.) Gave blood and then went for my drink and biccies.

When all of a sudden I got demands from the staff that I sit down. I thought this was quite nice until one of them stated something. I had started bleeding again.

I looked down and, sure enough, my arm was covered in blood. And I had left a trail of blood on the floor. So they got me sat down pressing a tissue to stem the blood. And, just like when I managed to slice my finger open with a razorblade everyone else was freaking and I was fine. In fact I got so sick of them asking if I was ok I felt like telling them to shut the fuck up because Birdhouse In Your Soul by They Might Be Giants was plaing on the radio, I love that song, haven’t heard it in ages and they were disrupting it.

Oh, and it’s going to be added to my record that I’m a re-bleeder, which will lead to more questions next time I donate blood. Joy.

And we have all the squeamish people back.

Sorry about the lack of notes/entries over the past couple of days but I have had absolutely no internet access at all. Which has been a bit of a bugger for me.

Finally went to MIMA yesterday (as I had sod all else to do). It’s not that bad, actually.

I’ve decided that I prefer Martha to Rose on Doctor Who. Simply because she reminds me of Ace who, IMHO, was the Doctors best ever assistant.

And finally, some fun stuff for you.

Some more grafitti that someone has grafittied (if that makes sense).

For all my fellow Doctor Who/Firefly fans:

And finally, cos Shukhevych asked me to do this. BTW Shuk, you do realise that this is meaninless due to me not actually being American? But, if I was, this is who I sould vote for, apparently:
