I can't pay rent UPDATE

Mission accomplished. I've got 20 more dollars in my wallet and bonus saline in my veins. The veins in my left arm are too small to draw from, so they had to take from the right. Which makes driving a stick shift really tricky.
I don't know when I'm donating again. It's all highly shady. Apparently (and I get this information from my Biolife inside source, Guy the Male Nurse) there's a bloodwar of sorts going on between Biolife and ZLB. ZLB is skeet. They take people's blood, but put their money on hold. Also, let people donate more often than they should and then send them to Biolife to get more cash. I don't know what all this really means, but Guy assured me it was big news. The feds are involved.

Great.

Now, dinner and drinks for Ferranto's birthday.

I can't pay rent

so I'm selling my plasma today. I've done this once before, about a year ago, and it didn't go so well. I got all my money, but only 'donated' half the amount I was supposed to. This is because my vein exploded.
Literally.

Like, there was a giant blood bubble under my skin. Can't picture it?

Have you ever seen 'The Mummy'? You know those beetles that get under your skin and crawl around?

Yeah.

Just like that. Only blood, not bugs.

Hawt.

So, that may explain why it's been a year since I've been back to good ole Biolife. I'll let you know how it goes...
