I was finally able to give blood Friday, the first time in a year that they didn't reject me, yaaay! I bet it's because I've been eating somewhat healthier.

Hemoglobin: 12.3 in right (.2 too low), retest in left was 13.1, w00t! First time the retest has led to me not being rejected.
Blood pressure: 82 over 58. This is apparently so low I should be dead. Hee!
Pulse: 68
Temp: 98.5
Weight: Er...about the same as last time.

I got tagged by the ever-so-tag-happy lela_s. I know I've done a version of this before, but these questions are different so I'll bite. I'm only posting it now because I filled out everything when I was offline. Too tired to think now!

A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.
B) Tag eight people to do this quiz and those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.

I'm going to be lame and not tag anyone this time. If you're thinking "whew!" then don't do the meme. If you're thinking "darn!" then please do it ^_^ -- or, you know, if you're just bored. And I just have to change at least one question, since I can!

1. What are your reasons for having a LJ?
It's fun talking to people here. I had no idea when I started it that I would meet so many interesting people! I also keep a regular journal, so I don't usually feel the need to spew emo all over my LJ.

2. Vices?
Alcohol. Sweets. Junk food. Shaving my legs too much. Falling in love with cats too easily. Star Wars. Cheesy Lifetime movies.

3. What would you do with a million dollars?
OMG. What wouldn't I do! I'd pay off everything ever and quit my job (would still give notice, though). I'd share a lot of it so I imagine I'd be pretty popular. Y'all know I like to "buy my friends." Start kissing up to me now, in case I happen to become a millionaire someday. I guess I'd have to invest some so I wouldn't spend it all. Hee.

4. Favorite Star Wars character?
Anakin Skywalker ♥

5. Are you an introvert or extrovert?
Definitely introvert. Though I can be friendly and sociable in a group of strangers if I'm in the mood for it.

6. What are five things that made you happy lately?
-helping my grandma
-not getting rejected for blood donation
-my kitties
-fresh mountain air combined with blissful carefree solitude
-RAIN!

7. Do you trust easily?
To a point. There are a few walls that no one can climb over or bust through, but before you get to that it's pretty much nothing but open fields. Heeeee, I'm so poetic.

8. What is your earliest memory?
It's hard to say. I have some vague memories of our house in New Jersey, so I would have been no older than 4. I remember being traumatized by a caterpillar getting on my clothes somehow and crawling up my arm. I think I screamed but I'm not sure. My mom just picked it off me and... I don't know what she did with it, put it down the drain maybe? We were in the kitchen. I remember thinking it would crawl up to my face and into my mouth and OH GOD THAT WOULD BE THE WORST THING EVAR.

9. Is there anything that made you unhappy these days?
Yes. >.>

10. What is your best quality?
I'm organized.

11. If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Mac'n'cheese. It would take me a long time to get tired of it.

12. What are you in 5 years?
Me. Unless I'm dead, then I'll be a pile of ash.

13. Do you have any weird talents?
No, sorry.

14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
She's a fun fangirly spaz!

15. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor?
Single and rich. DUH. Unless you give me more information, that's the easy answer. Don't get me started on the whole "why Wendy can't get married" thing.

16. Name a food that you absolutely hate.
MUSHROOMS. The slimy little fuckers.

17. What's better, to give or receive?
Depends on what you're talkin' about ;)

18. What is your oldest userpic and why has it survived when you delete the others?

Because it's Hayden. And Hayden's nipple. Can.Not.Delete.

19. What would you do if you (or your girlfriend) became pregnant unexpectedly?
Ooooo. I'd be pregnant with a Chosen One! I'd have to get rich off of it somehow!

20. Do you believe in love at first sight?
No, only lust at first sight.

21. How many questions did you change in this meme?
Only two ^_^ not counting a few grammatical corrections.

I saw The Clone Wars, I think I'll eventually comment on other people's posts instead of making my own post about it. Unless there's an f-list uproar over this. LOL

The Harry Potter widget in my profile no longer shows the correct number of days 'til HBP comes out :( Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa

HA! My blood pressure was recorded thrice at a doctor's office at 65/22. They were freaking the fuck out and I was just like 'um, this is like normal when my heart acts up. Fix me plz?' By time they hooked me up to a 12-lead, I was happy as a clam and I sulked for like an hour.

I'll have to snag your meme. You know I can't resist.

Ooo, I want to know general thoughts on The Clone Wars.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Wow, you're more of a walking corpse than I am! Go you! Heeee.

Okay perhaps I'll do a Clone Wars post then... what's one more post to add to my list of posts to do :)

[lela-s.livejournal.com]

awww... Do you really think I'm a Fun fangirly spaz? If you do that means you are too!! And Wow Hostile towards mushrooms much?

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Well, it's cuter when YOU do it. Hehehe. And the mushrooms deserve the hostility!

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, mushrooms are awful things. I don't know why people willing eat FUNGUS!!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

SRSLY. Ewwwwwwww. And can you believe I bought "fresh" mushroom soup at the store today??? (for my brother - it was on sale so I just felt like getting it for him)

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

AAwww....isn't that sweet! You do his grocery shopping!!!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Since I don't have a boyfriend, he gets to enjoy the benefits of my giving moods... and OMG that sounds so wrong. *snicker*

I just had to answer one more comment to tell you I keep getting paper cuts on my boobs! Perhaps I shouldn't do the CToD half-naked!

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

Have you ever been cleaning and forgotten what your state of undress is and answered the door?? We had a neighbor when I was a kid who liked to clean in the nude. She'd draw all the curtains so you couldn't see in and set about to doing her chores. One day the electric company showed up to read the meter. This is when the meters were located in the basement. Anyway, the doorbell rang and, without thinking about it, she went to answer the door.

She and the electric company guy both had an unpleasant shock when they both realized, at about the same time, that she was stark naked!!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Ha! Nooooo I always know how much I have on! Silly woman!

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

Brian ever walk in on you when you've been doing your topless thing???

Nam and I have both wondered on that one!!!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

LOL - no I don't do it at times when he might pop over. He works nights so I know I'm safe then. Very rarely he comes home at "lunch" time, but that's around 8pm and I'm usually in my nightie by then (which isn't always much better than being topless, in the summer. Hee!)

He's come in when I only have underwear on for the bottom part, though. I just go put shorts on before he comes over to the living room area where I'm usually hanging out, or if he's actually heading that way I'll tell him to hold on cuz I'm not decent. Heh. I do wear sports bras around him with no top on, though. Go ahead, use your daddy icon!

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

Sports bras can be very covering, really, to provide the support they are meant for.

Still...since you gave me permission...

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I need some new ones though, as these ones I've had for years are getting stretched out and not as effective. They do cover plenty. And I had asked him before if I should go put a shirt on and he was like pfffffft.

[kevthejedi.livejournal.com]

I heard the new Harry Potter film has been delayed by 8 months?

[archerstar.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they pushed it back to a summer release, because they're pansies, who don't want to have to compete against Twilight. Like shoving against a whole plethora of hit summer films is going to be any better.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Is that the real reason? I just heard it was "production issues." UGH.

[archerstar.livejournal.com]

Yep. And now Twilight has moved their release date up a week, since they're no longer competing with HP.

Ah, bureaucracy.

[kevthejedi.livejournal.com]

I heard it was pushed back to a summer release because of the writers strike, meaning there aren't going to be many big summer films next year so it's there to fill the gap

[zigsternenstaub.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised that you're not reviewing TCW. I'd like to know you're thoughts; generally, I'd like to know whether this is at all worth ever seeing. I've read some quite bad reviews.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

More people are curious about this than I thought so I'll do a post later today :)

[sanestlunatic.livejournal.com]

I want to know what I'm not missing!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Okay, look for a new post about it later today... I was too tired to do it last night anyway. Of course, I probably won't get it up until you've lost your connection for a while. *hugs* Bon voyage!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I noticed you had a huge thing going about the tube top! My stance on that is, Jedi don't need armor anyway, cuz they never get hit by blasters. Until Order 66, that is. LOL

I'll do a Clone Wars post later, starting with general thoughts and then going into more spoilery detail.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I would have freaked OUT at those ants. The caterpillar was at least slow and semi-cute!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Especially in the PT? I think Slave!Leia balances out Padme's sexy outfits :)

I hate ants inside AND outside. Unfortunately since I put food out for stray kitties, I have to be vigilant in getting rid of them.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Ahh, you make a good point!

*pets angry!Leia...very carefully*

[emavalexis.livejournal.com]

Ah, my dear Wendy. :) How I've missed thee.

*hugs*

(I've seen blood pressures as low as yours. You're still alive, I assure you. :p Hehe.)

I look forward to your thoughts on the CW movie. I thought it was total fun, but after the initial haze of glee, I can also recognize that there are faults in its structure and execution. I'll wait till you post your thoughts to elaborate.)

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Hiiii! I heard you were sick, hope you're feeling better!

I'm about to post my TCW babbling. I also have some luminations stuff to post soon, wheee! (and I need to read your non-A/O fic, am just not quite that caught up yet!)

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

"Blood pressure: 82 over 58"

*medical part of brain explodes* WTF? I mean be reading that wrong.... *in denial*

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Nope, it's correct, but apparently it's not really even that low! (see archerstar's comment above!)

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

I saw it. That is quite mind-boggling. Talk about being in the low 2.5% of normal....
