Temperment: Happy
Days Left Til Mercer Return:
Record: "Real Me" by Ayumi Hamasaki
Whooo! Guess what guys! I'm special...no, not in the head! My blood. As some of you know, my blood has a high iron content and also has certain antibodies that are good. I got a call from the American Red Cross today. They told me that I also had blood categorized as "baby blood." Supposedly my blood is also pure enough to be used for new born babies. They also let me know that two kids needed my blood. One kid has just been diagnoised with leukemia.
When she told me that I almost dropped the phone. I thought of my grandpa. He didn't have leukimia he had prostate cancer. I also thought of Peter, Lum, and Cat. I didn't know Micheal, but I knew that he meant something to them. I also though of other people like Mrs. Cathy. She died last year after fighting cancer for years. She had a kid younger than Ben. I almost started to cry right there.
There's also a premature baby that was born that needs blood. I think it needed some kind of surgery and it needs my blood. That blew my mind. Some tiny baby in a platic crib with tubes and stuff and a worried mom and dad. I'm glad I was leaning against the counter in the kitchen.
These kids are sitting in Macon. Right now. They wanted me to come down and give blood that second but I couldn't because I have no one to drive me to Savannah, which is where the closest donation center is, and I can't drive myself because lol I sleep for about 20-30 hours after giving blood. Poor Quita has seen it. So I'm going tomorrow to Savannah to give blood which should make it to Macon Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning.
I'm kinda excited, but also worried. I have to drive to Columbus on Wednesday. ^_^ Yupe you heard me! My mom decided that she wasn't going to fight me on it again and she said I can go to Columbus, and then go to Atlanta with him and his folks. I would love to see the group but there's a chance we might not get to. I'm suppose to head back home Sunday morning.
Hopefully eveything goes well. I'm kinda nervous about Jun's surgery. He says it's no big deal and he'll be out the same day. I have my doubts. I also am kinda worried about what I'm going to do while he's in surgery. lol I'm always so uncomfortable around people's parents most of the time. I don't really know how I'm suppose to act at all. Geeze that should be interesting.
Ona different note, Kato is mad at me. He's upset because he beliieves he has no good quialities and that he's life is meaningless. The guy is going through a mid-life crisis at 19 because of his summer job. He hasn't even had the job a weak and he's freakin' out that work is going to consume his whole life from now on. I tried to be positive and tell him it'll be all right but he's pretty much condemmended himself to a life of slave labor for some nameless company....this from the guy with a 1.5 GPA....::sigh:: whatever...I told him I really didn't feel sorry for him because that's the way it is. His dad got him the job. He gets like $11 and hour and basically he's on AIM from 8 am to 6 pm...oh the agony. When Peter wanted money to go to Japan he busted his butt at K-Mart...with no A/C (the horror). I worked too while I was in school and Quita right there next to me, working 2 and 3 jobs at once. Geimer has got to be like the biggst work-a-hollic ever! Jon and Rachel too they work and have a place to live and pay bills...that's about as Real World as it gets. I really don't feel sorry for him. I wish he'd quit drowning himself. Whatever I'm only willing to try for so long before that defeatest attitude makes me say "fuck you and peace out"
So yeah everyone take care okay! Loves you!
Kim

Haha, I'm happy now again! And, no, that job is boring as hell! I'd rather be doing something exciting for min-wage. THANKS KIM!
speaking of jobs...howis your job hunting going?
Ahhhh, that old K-Mart... ::twitch:: The hooorrors...
How neat about your blood! It's so exciting that you're going to be able to help those two people in such a real way, too. How cool! ... I pass out when things are injected into me (not from fear of needles, just weak constitution), so I can't imagine what would happen if things were taken out!
Damnit, not only am I stuck in PA while Junior's in the hospital... I can't get ahold of anybody >_<;; Damnit! No one answers their phones! Or they're just not home! Or some other unlucky coincidence. Man.
I'm just going to have to keep trying to get in touch with you guys on a regular basis. If you get the chance, will you email me your number / Jun's number and so on so that I can confirm that I'm calling the right folks? ... It kinda worries me that I'm NEVER able to get anybody.
update please
