Pin a rose on my nose!

I saved a life today! I voluntarily subjected myself to the dreaded poke of a hollow needle in the arm. I am someone's hero. Of course I did not only do this out of the goodness of my heart, to be honest the money doesn't hurt. I mean if I really wanted to be totally selfless I could have declined the $25.00, but seriously, they did have to poke me twice to find the vein. I think I deserve at least that much for the bruise that I now have. It was all worth it though. Someone in this world will get good use out of my "Grade A" plasma! Oh, and an added benefit of donating plasma is that it actually speeds up your metabolism! Too bad you can only donate 2 times a week otherwise the "Plasma Diet" could be the next big thing.
