Seizure Fighting Robots

The blood mobile...

...The blood mobile came to work today. I never miss a chance to give blood. I don't particularly like needles but I feel it is my civil duty. Besides there is something mildly erotic about thinking of someone else living of your own blood...

Mildly creepy may be a better phrase

...In any case I have 2 poptarts and a can of Mello Yello for breakfast, and head on over to get stuck and hopefully dodge 30 mins of work for a good cause. Everything goes smoothly, they stick me and I bleed a pint and then they crimp the hose. After they seal the bag up they have to fill these little vials for what I assume are testing purposes. As the nurse ( a large 35 year old mail singing along with the country on the radio) begins filling the vials my field of vision begins to retreat. I look to him and say "I'm about to fall out." He responds with a smile and continues filling hoses...

From this point on the story was told to me by the nurses

...The next thing he knows I'm having seizures and attempting to swallow my tongue. All I can remember is laying my head back and thinkin' "I hope I wake back up." Well I did but there was a horrible screeching noise, lots of vibration, and 3 people I didn't know trying to hold down my arm to remove a needle. My totally awesome imagination kicks in and suddenly I think I'm being probed by space aliens trying to steal my Adam( I just finished bioshock sunday) So I respond in the only appropriate manner. I sucker punch the nurse, or at least I would have had I not stopped just shy of her face for realizing she was not an alien and I was not in a space ship or genetically mutated...

To end the nurses were all freakin out like woah, the cut my arm up pretty bad trying to get the needle out as I was seizuring. I just laughed and told them people normally have to pay good money to see space aliens, and got to for free.

Hey, robot assassin.

Sounds exciting, but ouch! Hope the arm's OK.

Oh, and I knew I liked you! (Your b-day's just before mine, fellow virgin. Hope you had fun.)

Anyway, say hi sometime, and enjoy being a grown-up. :)
