I'm feeling lighter ...

... A pint lighter to be exact.

I gave blood today.

When I sat down in the chair I asked the phlebotomist, "So what part of Haiti is my blood going to?"

She was not amused.

"Probably somewhere in Idaho." She told me. I was disappointed. I wanted to feel glamorous like Alec Baldwin answering phones at a telethon.

Turns out, my blood will only go to save lives in the panhandle and eastern Washington.

Lame.


The drive was sponsored by a Greek sorority and some of the women from the house where there getting people to donate. As I was in line I heard the women talking about donating.

"I would give but I wanna work out this week," one said.

"I'm donating so I don't have to work out this week," I heard a girl waiting say.

Either way I don't think it'll kill ya if you donate and work out the next day. I mean, they told us not to drink alcohol afterward ...
