I tried to go donate blood today at a blood drive near work. Everything went good until it was time to stick the needle in me. The guy who was going to to draw my blood decided to go with a different vein than the one that normally gets pricked, and then I somehow manage to convince him to use the heavily used vein instead. @_@; Poke, in goes the fat needle, but no blood comes out. After digging around a bit, he calls for someone else, and she tries digging around, too. >_<; They give up and check my other arm, but the vein on my left arm is too thin for the needles they brought to the blood drive. So I ended up not saving a life today. :( Dave was going to donate blood, too, but I kinda ran off in the morning without him since I figured he forgot about it. Later in the afternoon, he was going to go, but the nurses had already left for the day and they're not coming back tomorrow. Doh. Maybe next week! I can still donate blood without having to wait 8 weeks because they got only a few drops out of me. Yipee! ^o^
