I gave blood today! First time since we lived in NC. I love giving blood. I don't miss it, but I know I'm really truly helping someone. And it's free!

Quick note: I think it's super important that blood drives be held at high schools across the country at every opportunity. Kids will donate because they get out of class, and that first time giving blood is the scariest. If you provide that incentive to get out of a class or two, they'll do it (I did). And then they won't be scared to give blood for the rest of their lives (I'm not).

Yeah, I know it's not a fool-proof plan, but I'm telling you, if I hadn't of done it in high school because it was 'cool' and I got out of class, then I wouldn't have given today either.
