This is a hard one for me, not because I’m scared or haven’t the opportunity to give blood but because I’ve been told I don’t weigh enough!
Technically, I am underweight for my height but I am perfectly healthy, eat and drink lots, it’s just the way I’m made!
Quite frustrating!!

Blood Donation #2 1 day ago

I went on Wednesday, it was great!



You Know, 6 days ago

It’s all recycling, folks.



Fatness 1 week ago

Apparently, I gained a few pounds. I find this strange due to the fact that if anything I have been eating healthier and I actually felt as though I had lost weight. On the upside, if a blood bank happens to be near by anytime soon, I can legally give blood. I pray I find one fast.



Cant do it 1 week ago

Actully can’t do this coz i had a blood transfusion b4! Quite relieved but also disapointed as i’ll never know if i would have been brave enough to go and do it! I would like to think i could have got over myself and donated but i’ll never know!

The age you need to be is 18 2 weeks ago

So i guess i have to wait a year and a bit. And i also have a huge fear of needles, sharp objects, blood, diseases, being cut etc. so this may be an issue!

Ever time I can I donate, I may need some blood someday so I give now.



waiting to donate 4 weeks ago

I had a tattoo done at the end of June so I have to wait 6 months until I can donate.
I’ve researched it tho and found my local place.
Something to do at the beginning of the year

Coming Soon 4 weeks ago

So I walk by a sign for blood drive coming up in a couple weeks every once in awhile at school.

Thinking about doing it. I just hope this time I can get my blood sugar and iron (and nerves) up enough to do it without getting nauseous and dizzy…



got a new piercing.. 4 weeks ago

I’ve been living in France for a couple months, and theres this nice tattoo shop a couple blocks from my house. I like my piercings to represent periods of time in my life, and so I just couldn’t pass this up. I mean, how many chances am I going to get to get pierced in France?
Anyways, this means I have to wait until mid-March to give blood. Absolutely NO giving up this time!
