I haven't but always meant to just never had a place near me.

Cool, super goatboy who can be shot and not bleed.
Sort of.

I'm allowed to give blood as of next year, but I don't know if my blood is up for it, I used to faint all the time a few years back, low blood pressure I had, dunno if that would affect anything.

I wish I was a practising heterosexual.

Only practising? Is there a ceremony when you do it for real?

I'm supposed to be giving blood on November second but I don't think they'll take it since I'm a "practising homosexual" :S

Same on both counts and it's 8 pints for a bloke, no idea about women.

Yep, been donating for a few years.
I personally didn't feel faint at all, even after the 1st time. Have had trainees a couple times that couldn't find a vein, resulting in a nice black bruise for a couple days \m/

And last time, they found the vein but I refused to bleed. Which I thought was cool, possibly a sign of encroaching undeadness. But a few pummels and it flowed.

Do you still have the lump? :0x

Gave blood once. And the person taking it couldnt find a vein. So they took it anyways. And left a HUGE lunp on my arm.. would NEVER do it again

I got a letter through the door the other day from the Blood Donor people.

With the message

"WE WANT YOUR BLOOD

GIVE IT US"

I weeped.
