i feel a little like a criminal right now. for some reason, sometime yesterday afternoon, the draconian firewall at work stopped working and... i can blog! and get to twitter! and see all those "personal websites"! it's... titillating! i'm sure it won't last long, so i'll be sure to enjoy it while i can.
and, you get to enjoy it too, in the form of this post! win-win, baby!
so, i got my blood donor card in the mail yesterday. i guess that means i didn't have any horrible blood-borne diseases and my heart juice is good enough for life-saving purposes. i also FINALLY learned my blood type: B RH Negative. that's B- if you're lazy. it's the same as my mom, which makes sense if you know blood things. my dad is O+ and there was a chance i'd need a transfusion at birth because negatives and positives can battle it out if a negative mom is carrying a positive baby. but, i didn't need a transfusion, so there was high probability of a blood type match with my mother.
it's just kind of cool to finally know.
especially since only 1.4% of Canadians have my blood type. i'm rare and in demand, baby! which is just another reason why i'll continue to donate blood every 56 days. gotta keep us cool-ass B-Neg's alive!
last night, i drove the fancy paternal car to pick up my dad from the airport after his 10-day Caribbean cruise. i mentioned that he might want to get his brakes checked because as i was leaving his parking garage, the brakes they were making freakishly loud rusty-gate screech and grinding noises. they went away soon enough i felt confident in driving it to Richmond and back, but yikes. a week parked shouldn't seize up your brakes that badly.
otherwise... i'm boring. i have a whole lotta cleaning to do before Saturday. new people are coming to Chez Hessie, so my inner neat-freak is freaking out a little. MUST! CLEAN! APARTMENT!
yeah, that's it. sorry it couldn't be more interesting. hopefully the added spice of covertness will make up for the general interest level being a little low.
