Donate Blood!!


So Justin finally donated blood with me!!! It's only taken me 2 years to convince him to come with me.
Reasons why it's cool to donate:
1. You get free cookies and juice!!! (And on Wed. nights here in SB you get free pizza)
2. Everyone is really nice, and you can never be too funny, they'll always laugh at your stupid jokes.
3. You can only get turned away if you've been to a malaria ridden country, have a fever, have a low cell count, or got pierced or tattooed within the last year. (PS if you're not sure if you can donate for any reason you can always call them and a nurse will let you know, anonymously)
4. Depending on the donation you can watch TV play on the Internet or even see a movie (for the 2hr long donation)
5. They give you an online profile and you can rack up points towards prizes!!!!
6. They almost always give you a gift cert. for a free pizza or a small box of See's candy.
7. Free cholesterol testing (okay, so not that cool, but interesting info!)
8. They give you stickers that say things like "Be nice to me, i donated blood" or "I donated today, Take me out to dinner" (my personal fave) and a colored bandage (to coordinate with your outfit, how stylish)
9. YOU GET TO SAVE LIVES!!!!

Basically, you all should get off your butts and donate, it doesn't take long and only hurts for a second. If you need moral support I will gladly join you.
