wonderful glories of being Prime
Since I'm now seventeen, I took prime advantage of my newly aquired rights and donated blood yesterday. Quite frankly, it was a ton of fun.
In other news, I got my first acceptance letter today. It's to Calvin College, which none of you have ever heard of, but I quite possibly might go to. Actually, I think Adam told me he has a friend who goes there, so one of you might have heard of it.

Yay for giving blood and getting into college, all in one post!

Giving blood sounds like something we all should do more often. If only I wasn't so darn afraid of injections. The wikipedia entry http://www.tellurideassociation.org/pdf/TASPBR06.pdf
states that this is trypanophobia. Which got me looking at all the other phobias listed in that article. By far the most arresting is anatidaephobia - Fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you (it's from a Gary Larson cartoon published in The Far Side Gallery).

Hmm... what's that brochure link doing up there? Must have been a mix of inattentiveness and a temperamental shift-key.
Anyway, the wikipedia link is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-phobia

Congrats! I've actually heard of Calvin college.
I'm obviously not surprised you got in, because, you know, you're you, but I'm still impressed.

I have too, b/c they're a DIII XC powerhouse (but you probably knew that)

Congratulations! For another TASPer acceptance! We're on a roll!
And the Far Side (as I mentioned at TASP, I believe) is one of the three greatest comic strips of my lifetime. The invention of a word like anatidaephobia just confirms the fact.
