A story of Irony In Action in Your Environment:

I'm sure I kvetched bitterly here before about being on the permanent deferral list because I ate an abused hot dog in Stratford while I did a year of college in Wales [/exaggeration]; and more recently, my sheer delight at somebody finally having the sense and statistics to clear that deferral for me and peers.

So OF COURSE when I went to the blood drive at Myfi's church-building the other week, I was deferred for... high blood pressure.

If anybody was ever wondering why I never wanted human offspring, this is one of multiple reasons: BAD GENETICS.
