Ouch!

So I did this crazy thing yesterday...

I donated blood! It was such an odd experience, and a little emotional to boot! They took 1/8 (!) of my blood, and yes, I was a little loopy for quite a while afterwards (not a bad feeling...kind of like having a few drinks, but without the headache afterwards :) But the emotional part, which didn't hit until later last night, was I gave up a part of myself to help save someone else. My blood might be going into someone else's body, flowing through their veins, hopefully helping to save their life...surreal, to say the least.

And the free t-shirt is really cool!
