That's because I can no longer give blood. I was exposed to hepatitis C a year or so ago. I found myself elbow deep in blood when I pulled 3 kids out of a wrecked car. While I do not have the disease, I do have antibodies to it now. There is no detectable level in my blood but I will not take that risk.
I "retired" from the ranks of active blood donors one donation (pint) short of hitting 2 gallons.
I'm sure they understand.

I'm not old enough... You have to be 18 don't you...? If not, I'd probably go all the way to the hospital, have loads of tests done and find out that I am too unhealthy to actually give blood. But I will when I'm older ;)

I have done that twice and both times I have passed out and vomitted. I am just barely above the weight limits and therefor I don't give blood anymore. It makes me too sick. My blood sugar gets way too low and they give me coke and cookies but they can't keep it regulated while taking the blood, so sorry everyone, you can't have my blood anymore.

It's been less than a year since I had my last tattoo and I plan on getting another one in a couple months, PLUS the last two times I TRIED to donate, my Iron count was just a little too low to qualify.
