They're After Blood!...or plasma...

Hey all! You're probably wondering about the title, but, surprise surprise, I'm not talking about vampires! Yesterday I went with my mom to a clinic to give blood and I was a little bit scared since the last time I did the plasmapheresis (just means they only took plasma from me and gave me saline and my red blood cells) I fainted. O.O I decided that this time around I was going to eat as much as I could for dinner the night before, breakfast, and definitely lunch. So yes, I had to break my fast. :( Oh well, I didn't faint this time, in fact I felt awesome. I didn't have any adverse reactions at all (unless you count how cold I got when they pumped the saline solution back into my blood stream, but that's only because it was at room temp which is about 20 degrees colder than your internal temp...oh and I think i might have gotten a little bruise...but that's about it. Other than that nothing really has happened...well except for the fact that I'm suppose to be working on my cultural report but mom's trying to make me clean the house instead. >.<

(February 24, 2007) Update

Oh.My.Gawd. I can't believe that I haven't written anything in over a year! I guess I really have been out of it. Well like I say, it's my life and it's pretty boring so I guess you haven'y missed out on much. The weird thing is that I've been on the computer way more than I used to be but I've just been on in my mom's aol cuz I can go anywhere I want there. So anyways, I'm now in tenth grade and I turned 16 almost three months ago. I just got a new haircut (which was actually my old haircut before I let my hair get really long), i bought some new shoes @ Target and a new shirt (one of those seemingly small ones, but stretch to fit all sizes) at The Salvation Army. Pretty eventful day actually. Usually we just stay at home and do nothing. Yesterday we got some books because I am a bonefied bookworm. I love books. Yep....love 'em. But most of the books I got were for my brothers because there is the series called "Cirque du Freak" by Dar

(February 5, 2009) Good Start

Okay I think so far it's a pretty good start. I've done some editing and revising; I definitely need to go back and add more things in, especially in chapter one. The chapters are really short so I'm probably going to just smoosh some of them together when I get more into the story, but so far so good. :D

I HATE Science!

Well today has just been lovely from start to finish. I left my back pack in the art annex since I went to the library to check out a book but when I went to pick it up Mrs. Littlefield had left and locked the door! So I'm still without my back pack until next period...Oh and then there's science. I am suppose to be doing research for a ten page paper on Hydrogen energy in MLA format and it's so disastrously boring! I'm loathe to even read the awful mind numbing information! I really do try though, I mean I have two pages open right now that are suppose to be helping figure out what I should write and then there's the fact that Mr. Fields is going through kemo...again. I really do miss him, even if he is a grumpy, strict old guy! He's sure of a heck lot better than these stupid substitutes, especially Ms. Cameron who went to college but sounds like a complete idiot whenever she says something due to her strong brazilian accent. Plus she's even more uptight t
