I'm officially an adult and legal citizen!! I can drink in Europe, order products from infomercials, smoke (though I do not), but lottery tickets...and much more! My friends pretty much made my birthday last for an entire weekend and then celebrated with me on the actual day. I've never loved a group of friends as much as I love this group of friends. <3 On another note, I sporadically donated blood today at school. Save three lives..why not? I hadn't planned on it, but then realized that I was selfish for not signing up earlier. I have blood to spare, and my one life probably isn't greater than three. Also, being eighteen allowed me to be sporadic. Any younger and I would have needed a signed note from my mom or a doctor, which I didn't happen to have on me. ;) I went in, signed up, and started shaking like no other. The finger prick hurt like a mother, and then the fact that it took five minutes to find my vein was no joy ride either. BUT eventually the needle went in, and I was feeling good. Then, the nausea set in and I had to try to hold down my cold cereal. For ten minutes I sat there with my blood draining out, and when it was over...I stood up all dizzy and was escorted to the yoga mats to chill. I was given a nutrigrain bar and a time stamp. A girl convinced me to sign up for the bone marrow donors list...so I'd say it was a pretty good day for saving lives. Unfortunately, I am still recovering because incidentally, donating blood when you're about to come down with some kind of headache/sore throat sickness isn't the best way to go. All is well, and all will be well. I've been lazin' around the house with my new book The Art of Losing I'm lovin' it so far. That's all I have to say for now...and to you my followers...donate whenever you get the opportunity because saving lives=good stuff.
