Whereas I did the donatey thing today (see, yet more proof of our mind-melded twin thing) and sailed through it happily, gave my 470ml in a close to personal record of 8 minutes 10 seconds, scoffed enormous amounts of food, did hours of work and then did an hour and a half dragonboating, the only concession to my self-inflicted wound being a refusal to be the stroke.
The only vaguely worrying thing was that my blood pressure was only 100/60 but I didn't even get woozy, so I'm just going with the fact that I was really relaxed.
I seem to have a really weird, really relaxed, pretty indestructible approach to blood donating. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to pass the approach on, so I'll just do my usual cheer to say, "go you - donate blood - yay! for Deathpixie".
