I win at altruism.

godreamI donated blood today. And actually filled the pint thingie, unlike last time I tried. Yay for being hydrated, for once, & go team alison. And the inside of my elbow is now bright orange with a bandaid over it and ready to gross out the squeamish guys on my hall with. Whee!
(It's vitally important to balance out the selfless altruistic acts with the immature stupid ones, I think.)
The lady taking my information accidentally put down Swaziland instead of Switzerland for the question about whether you've been to any foreign countries lately, but it was only a mild snafu -- I definitely like donating at Kendall Square better than the Student Center: less crowded, less frazzled staff, and you get to look up out the skylight while you bleed instead of just at the dark student center ceiling.
Saw the new Pirates movie -- pretty awesome, although they're not shy about diving for the obvious joke. Also went to the beach, yay! The ocean makes me inordinately happy, and we're going again this weekend. :D And I met one of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
blueeverglades's friends from home, who is really cool. And a mob of us watched the fireworks over the Charles -- beat_the_beaver found the Best Spot Ever -- which were even better than usual, I think, and all in all it's been a pretty gleeful week.
