Today's Lesson.

[sechan19]

No matter how crazy the crazy woman sitting next to you in the reception area of the blood donation clinic is, do not carelessly comment on how your exposure to her is sure to be your dose of daily weirdness. The universe will most assuredly take that as a challenge, and before you can say "I gave blood today!" you'll be passed out at the Home Depot with a pack of paramedics coming down on you.

Moral of the story?
It can always get weirder.

For the record, I'm fine. (And so is Mom, who was so worried by the episode that she shortly followed me into a faint.) But it was not exactly how I envisioned spending my Saturday afternoon.

Ya know, I would have thought you would have know better than to tempt fate by now...

Glad to hear the both of you are okay, though.

Yeah, but she was really crazy. ;>

I'm actually more worried about this tendency to faint that I've developed. It's bad for the super bitch image.

that's it. i'm buying you a fainting couch, so at least you can do it in style.

If I start being followed around everywhere by a fainting couch, I'm going to feel like I'm in an Edward Gorey book.

Awesome!

Oh man, that Murphy is a bastard. I'm glad you're okay!

Thanks! I'm glad, too.

Anemia (eat more nails)? Or blood volume (drink more, and don't stand up too quickly)?

Or something else?

Glad that you're okay, and on the normal side of the street. :-)

I usually faint when my body gets overheated... and that's probably related to blood circulation problems.

I'm probably not the world's best candidate for blood donation. I'm not that big to begin with, I have (aforementioned) circulation problems, and my blood pressure is very low. [shrug]

But people need blood, yo. What can be done?

You would think, after knowing me for so long, that you wouldn't tempt the weirdness karma in the world.

But where's the fun in that? ;>
