I'll give blood! Haven't been able to before because I keep getting piercings, but I've been needle free for 3 years now... is that long enough?

Should be, the deferral for body/ear piercing is only 6 months.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

You should start up a new thread about it, it's a really important thing. I saw the amount of blood donated last month in the paper and was so low! I'm not gonna have any body left... I'm renting my womb to 2 people, giving away a kidney and now it's my blood! ahhhh!

Don't think I'd want a kidney or a liver from a few of the people on here......
