I'm a Hero!

So today at school we had a blood drive that i got to participate in. i woke up excited (this just prooves how strange i am, who gets excited to donate blood). and ate eggs and toast for breakfast, and drank like a gallon of water to prepare. At ten o' clock i showed up for my "appointment" and waited in the waiting area with Brandon and Kelsey. Brandon was trying to scare me talking about the needles and all and i will admit that i was a little scared after he talked about the finger prick, (elf is what scared me...you know that scene) it didn't hurt a stitch. they asked me a lot of wierd questions and had to follow me to the bathroom (i had to go due to all the water i drank :)) anyways after my bathroom brake i sat on my bench/bed thing and i could smell the blood....not pleasant! in fact it was disgusting, not everyone can smell blood but let me tell you the people who can, i feel for ya! (oh and it so does not smell rusty like bella describes in twilight FYI) anyways Brandon is sitting across from me acting like he is in horrible pain from the needle, i just smiled at him. haha. so i'm sitting there with my MP3 listening to music while i waited to get Stuck. the lady Jan or Jane something like that starts telling me how i am a hero and then tells me she is going to stick me with the needle so if i want to look away i can...i didn't look away (i know i know i am strange) i like watching the blood draw, the lady then comments on how i'm probally the most calm person she has taken blood from for the first time...i don't understand how u can get worked up, but i suppose that is jus my thinking.
so i am totally fine with a needle sticking out of my flesh watching the blood stream into little bags, and when i am done they tell me "instructions" including me waiting there for an additional 15 min. Keep in mind i've already been there from 3rd period and the bell has rung for forth hour to get out, i am missing my lunch, so i am thinking...yeah ill be fine. i walk over to the snack pick up my juice and cookies....YUM! and follow Kelsey around talking to people, when she tells me she blacked out. i thought that that was absurd! but guess what happens five minutes later when i was getting ready to leave. i start feeling queasy so i sit down i didn't think anything of it becasue Mckenna said that is how she felt kinda queasy, but then i start sweating, my head starts filling with lead and feels really heavy, but the real scary part is how everything went black i could still "see" the outline of people, but it was going to fade any moment and my hearing was going rapidly, while my body was in shock my mind is thinking "im fine, can we go get some dang food now?" Kelsey who sees me looking what i can only imagine as ghostly tells the nurse aide and the nurse aide whos name i can't remember wheels out a wheel chair. i am then asked. "Can you get into the chair?" i must have muttered something unintelligable but i do remember saying "i don't know" i climb into the chair all weak and flimsy like trying not to cause much attention. as soon as i get into the chair i can start to hear jus a little better and i am asked again if i can move into the bed/bench thing, this time i said "i hope so," or something like that, i climb into the thing with Kelsey kind of looking concerned, and notice my vision is back, sorta. it continues to get better as i am offered a second bag of cookies. thus ended my black out. during the remainder of the day i was treated like a hero, Mr. Clark let me eat my bologna sandwhich and Ms. Pieters let me sleep when we were supposed to be working on "homework" i remember Kevin turning around and saying "i heard you almost passed out!" katie T had told him becasue katie Coon came in worried to her with kourtni who had been told by Jessica and Sunny who both also donated. which means by now everyone know i "almost" passed out including my older brother who is making fun of me now. but i dont care, i haven't cared ever since my blackout i have been completely calm, Hunter kept laughing at me because i was so calm, i didn't care that when i was eating my sandwhich a peice of cheese flew out of my mouth and i tried to attack Andy with it i didn't care that i was one of the two people who got a hundred on my math quiz. i honestly can say i do care that we are eating Spam tonight for dinner, I hate spam.
that was my really long story about how i was a hero today because i donated a pint of blood.
so shut up Cody, my body is in shock i have never lost so much blood before and i have broken my arm tripping over a rock playing football (So there) my body has never been in shock, not even when i went into surgury, ( i was excited for that too).
