Somewhat Relevant Musings and Commentary

A collection of musings on various things from, college, relationships, Star Wars, friendships, God, and whatever else I think of. Sometimes relevant to the world at large, most of the time relevant only to those with a love of the irrational. Or people really interested in a certain point of view.

Offended

I just made a comment about not being able to give blood anymore because of my residence in the UK for an extended period of time. One particular individual perked up and exclaimed "Oh good!" Upon clarification, she described how she always faints when giving blood and finds the sight of blood to make her queasy. But still, I am very offended by the response, so much so that I felt I needed to get it out. I feel this unused blog is the best place to do that, to avoid causing undue tension in the flat. I personally find the inability to give blood a very regrettable and saddening repercussion of this year abroad. I'm pissed. It's even more conflictive, as the statement was made by a girl who I may or may not have feelings towards. Strange statement, but the truth. I feel at times I like her a lot, but other times can't stand to be around her. It's really a strange situation. Mostly, I think it's frustrating to not be able to generally relate to her in a positive manner. Long story, don't want to get into it. But I'm offended.
