Donated blood this morning. Feeling my usual high: the false sense of achievement that one gets from donating blood. Feels good that I did something useful, maybe it will save someone’s life. But, without really doing anything other than lying down for 10 minutes, getting poked and thanked by nurses with a cup of apple juice and a cookie.

I am AB+. The universal recipient. How much more selfish can I be? Thankfully, there aren’t too many of us. Only 3% of the population is AB+.
