Mmm, iron.

*pouts*

I, apparently, do not have enough iron to give blood. I made plans to prevent this! I ate chicken on Tuesday, and fish this afternoon! I've been eating more meat than I have in years. So why do I not have enough iron? I should have iron! I should not have blood that bobs straight to the surface during the iron test instead of sinking like it's supposed to.

I was even there with a friend who had never given blood before, but whom I'd convinced to come. She got to give blood. See how unfair it all is? Life is so cruel.

Stupid... blood.

^^;; Heh, last time I tried to give blood, my blood sank halfway and then started to slowly rise to the surface again. They took another blood sample and did something involving a centrifuge (d'ya know how much it sucks to have two of your fingers pricked? OW) and ended up letting me give blood after all. ^^;;; I'd advise eating more red meat?

They did the centrifuge thing to me too, but they just took that blood from the same finger.

And I would eat more red meat, but I don't like most meat. ^^; I tell people I'm a vegetarian except when I don't feel like it, but usually they laugh at me. It's true, though. I only eat meat when I have a particular craving for it, and that tends to happen just a few times a month.
