I just wanted to say thank you to the amazing wonderful helpful people at the Canadian Blood Services clinic for helping me out after I gave blood and started feeling not so great. Your kindness and compassion are much appreciated. I cannot thank you enough for everything you did for me. —Your Friendly Neighbourhood Nerdboy

Good on yer Nerdboy!. Hope you got an extra cookie >: )

Hahaha I had some cookies and *and* ice cream.
That’s what it’s like when I’m hypoglycemic, ‘gasmatron. 🙁
Sucks, don’t it?
Yeah I was pretty bad afterwards. At first I felt really warm and started sweating, which made me kind of nervous so I started breathing heavy and whatnot. At my worst, I was hyperventilating and my whole body cramped up. I eventually managed to get ahold of myself and slow down my breathing. Even then I felt kind of dizzy and lightheaded. The RN that was there actually recommended that I not give blood again because of how long it took me to recover. :/
You’re a skinny dude, nerdboy, so I wouldn’t be surprised if your sugars rest on the low side of normal, which is why you went hypo.
That’s why i can’t donate blood. It sucks because I have perfectly good O neg. You felt like it “hurt”, didn’t you? But you didn’t quite know WHAT hurt and it was a weird kind of hurt, right? I don’t hyperventilate, but I cry and breathe heavily and when it goes below 3.5 I can’t talk in full sentences. Sometimes I can’t even get up when it happens at night and I have about enough energy to scream for my mom to get me some sugar, but I don’t have to do that anymore because I keep lots of glucose tablets on my bedside table.
Anyway, good on ya for giving blood! Some people who can are too pansy to do it because they’re afraid of needles. And keep an eye on those sugars (make sure you’re eating regularly!), nerd’matron!
Also, the sweating is a tell tale sign — I usually sweat through the clothes I”m wearing 🙁
Yeah the RN said I shouldn’t try to donate again unless I really bulk up a lot. I think I’m like 135 lbs now (at least).
Wanna trade weights? LOL
you gave it your best shot 195^^way to go http://media.rd.com/rd/images/rdc/slidesho…

Haha that’s a a pretty sweet tat, z3.
Thanks, PG! ^^
@PK: lol No, I’m good. 😛
Isn’t that only for a period of time, zed? Liiiike I thought it was a year or something after tats or piercings?
Hay, nerd’matron — I’m a healthy weight…. for a guy your height. heh.
lol What I was trying to saying is that I’m happy with the weight I’m at.
kate moss called… she wants her figure back..
and yeah, it’s 6 months… just enough time to get the bug again and get another one.
thanks for reminding me zed, my big 50 is a coming. i like this one

this one not so much

I’ve often thought of getting some ink but… I’m not sure if I want to permenantly alter my body like that.
I have enough scars to remember shit by, so a tattoo wouldn’t really be sentimental (which, let’s face it: I’m the most sentimental/nostalgic person on the planet)….
I’m kind of looking though to see if anything catches my eye. I’d have to get it in a place where clothes would cover… I just don’t know WHAT to get or where.
Ideas?
I’m not a cat person – but I have seriously been loving all the cat pictures and quotations. You guys are such a cleaver bunch!
(lol on the KM jk Z)
get something on your bum, PK. it hurts less ;P and then it’s easy to cover up and only “special” ppl would get to see it. heh.
or back… I never get to see the one on my back.
Hmm. I’d definitely have to get it in a place that *I* could see. Like maybe my hip or something.
And y’all know I’d likely go with some sort of cat. Stylized cat, but a cat nonetheless 😛
Or something equally as girly since I’m the girliest girl on the planet.
Get one on your face … so we can’t miss you at summits.

Oddly I find this guy attractive … ever since he did the Mugler campaign.

He’s gone so far that now I find it sexy … weird.
here’s a puuurfect one for you pk j/k http://worldwidewhiskers.files.wordpress.c…
perhaps a little tamer http://mogoel.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/…
i agreeee donk. he IS freakishly sexy! and i mean freakishly! dayyumm!
yeah, it is true, sometimes i forget i even have a tat because it’s in a place i don’t really look tehe
doooo it PK dooooo it *peer pressure* 😛 🙂
…at least do it before it becomes a mid-life crisis thing ha ha
Shit, I’m still going through my quarter life crisis, smurf.
30 is looooming and I’m really REALLY freaking dreading it. I don’t want to be in my 30s. I don’t think it’s old or anything, but I just don’t feel I got enough out of my 20s and I’m not ready to be in the 4th decade of my life.
My dad told me that turning 30 was harder on him than 40, or 50, or 60 and when he turned 65 this year he celebrated because it meant another pension.
*lesigh*
Anyone ever wish they could go back to a younger time with the knowledge they have now? I wish I could go back to being 20 with all the stuff I know now. I’d be A LOT more kick ass at 30 than I’m probably going to be.
“Anyone ever wish they could go back to a younger time…” fuck no!
depends how far back you want to go…
I’d jump back about 6 years… but definitely not back into the schooling days.
Too stressful and too much pressure on arbitrary learnings…
Yeah, but you’re still a mere babby in the cycle of life, Donk!
I’d go back to my second year of my first degree and get that stupid fucking idea out of my head about doing an MA in history and just go to fucking law school like I planned. I’d be a third year associate by now. *shakes head*
And I’d enjoy myself a lot more than I did back then. 🙂 I spent way too much time studying extrenously.
Plus I remember what was on most of my exams (essay questions), so my gpa might actually rise those couple points and hit that 4.0 while I was at it. 😛
What would YOU do six years ago, zed, if you had to do it again?
knowing what I know now?
I’d be saving up every penny for
http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/sports/515977…
😉
and start Facebook good and early in my spare time.
Oh shit! I forgot we could do that if we know what we know now.
I’d bet on something, get really rich and turn city hall into PK’s Pleasure Paradise like Biff did in BTTF! :O
http://www.filmbuffonline.com/FBOLNewsreel…
you forgot?!?!?!
I hope you never come across a magic lamp….
you’d wish for lower postage, a car that both distributes and runs on cheeseburgers…
and PK’s pleasure palace… man-whores and warlocks sold separately.
Holy shit man — a car that runs on and distributes cheeseburgers would be FUCKING AWESOME.
C’mon, you gotta admit – a car that gives you cheeseburgers is kinda great.
Speaking of cheeseburgers: wanna bring me a whopper with cheese? I’ll give you hugs AND you’ll have my adoration for… ok maybe until the burger’s gone.
Haha PK’s Pleasure Paradise sounds like a fun place.
I was going to call it “PK’s Pussy Paradise”…. but I figured people would get the wrong idea.
… or the right one. I’ll never tell.
HAHAHA j/k.
i’m going to go buy some candy^^http://ihasahotdog.files.wordpress.com/200…
I need one of those for my bedroom door, painey. All I ever do is let one cat in and the other out and then the other in and the other one out. And if one’s on one side of the door and the other’s on the other side and I open the door to let one out or in and they stare each other down and won’t move.
Fucking cats.
Thankfully Molly slept through the night last night all sprawled out beside me and didn’t wake me up to let her out. Mom’s snoring was way too freaking much so I had to keep mah door closed.
mmm sleep. I can haz some sleep? Nooo 🙁
we have a swinging cat door to the basement, otherwise the hound would be snarfing the kittys food http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/dogc…
