donating blood.

I am an upstanding citizen. I intend to donate my very own blood to some desperate colorless person who is bleeding to death. Last time they rejected my blood. Not the best feeling to be sitting there... after a blood test-- which scans for AIDS-- and told that the results were bad. Seriously. Start by saying "Good news is, you don't have AIDS..." then segway into the part about how I have low iron and should eat a steak. Can you drink alcohol the night before you donate? Hmmm. Would the person who is fortuitously gifted with some Erin running through their veins also luck upon a free buzz? Like that Seinfeld episode when Jerry gets some Kramer in him... Giddy-up.
