YOUたち、何型？

I'm B型!  And it may be weird to a bunch of you, but I only found this out today.  Yes.  I'm 23 and have just figured out what blood type I am.  When I went to the BOE today, they just happened to have the blood donation bus set up outside.  Since it looked like a good opportunity, I donated blood for the first time (didn't make the weight requirement in high school and then I kept piercing my ears). 

For a second, I thought they were gonna tell me, "No," because my blood pressure was really low.  And then when I was actually in the bus to do the actual donating, they covered my arm in heating pads and a towel.  Hmm...  The bright side, is that I now know my blood type.

Then, while at the BOE, I mentioned that the ceiling in my kitchen has been leaking water, so a bunch of people came by to take a look at it this afternoon... and then I went out to eat dinner with my supervisor's wife.  We went to a really nice Italian restaurant... and I forgot that I donated blood and what that means.  Only got through 1/3 of my glass of umeshu before feeling faint.  Didn't even make it to the bathroom before collapsing on the floor.  I always have these embarrassing moments when I'm with my supervisor or his wife. 

Anyway.  Home now with a huge bottle of Pocari Sweat even though I hate that stuff.  Boo.  Oh well... will definitely remember this for the next time I donate blood.

I hope you're feeling better. :-/ I always faint when I get blood drawn too, but at least you know yours will be used for a good purpose. ^^

I just found out my blood type last year actually. It seems like a lot of people in the states don't know what theirs is.

Yep. Did it to find out my blood type, but I'll try to start doing it regularly. ^-^

Yeah... My mom couldn't even tell me my blood type.
