i finally donated for the first time when during my winter break! i ran into the same problem where i either had tattoos or piercings too recently. so i donated, and then got another tattoo a week later. it was a fairly good experience, but they never called me back about my blood type, so i still have no idea. i love the questions they ask you though. it cracks me up. "have you ever had sex for drugs or money?"
"no"
"have you ever had sex with someone who has had sex for drugs or money" "no"
"have you ever had sex with someone who has been to africa?"
"no"
"have you ever had sex with someone who had sex with someone who has been to africa?"
"ummm no?"
crazy questions. all the embarrassing ones they say really quickly too. made me laugh. okay, the end.
