Which is a sentence that is usually completed with the words 'to violence'. However, on this occasion, not so.
Inspired by his fine example, I was thinking of going to give blood on Saturday 18th, during the day before [livejournal.com profile] ksirafai's party. You know, to make sure that drinking during the evening will be a Really Good Idea.

Any London-type folks want to come and hold my clammy, quivering hand?

Good for you :) I inspired Andy in the first place, let the inspiration (and blood) flow!

Do I get prestige for this?

From: [identity profile] kittensandsteam.livejournal.com
yup, if you ask for proof that you were actually there :)
Just ask some people from the blood collection crew for one.
Giving blood was one of Bert's main prestige sources lol.

WHAT?

Bloody Hell, I thought we left that nonsense out...

nope O_o
Earns you 10 or 15 prestige if memory serves me well.
Can ask Bert tonight if you really want to know.

Nope. I'd rather remain pure, thanks :)

No.

In the UK we will not give prestige for blood donation.

Sorry, this is one of the few things I feel extremely strongly about. Prestige for blood donation is highly prejudicial to those unable to donate due to their lifestyle or health history. I will not have those members of the Cam discriminated against in the UK.

There are significant differences between the NBS and the system they have for blood donation in the States. And, over there, I believe you need to be part of a special Camarilla 'blood drive'.

Nonetheless, Dave, you will get a nice, warm fuzzy feeling from giving blood and the alcohol will have less blood to dilute when you commence drinking.

And just when do I claim prestige anyway? I was being satirical :)

I know. I was not cross with you.

All hail misinformation!

really sorry

Hehehhehehe, most of the English wouldn't be able to give blood in the US due to CJD. I can't because I've slept with someone who was in England during those years.

I love that.

Morning! Good for you! I have tried to give blood 9 times, success rate: 1. I obviously have inferior blood - meh!

Remind me to have a handy corner for people to pass out in. And lots of sugary snacks. :)

I plan to show up low on blood, drink heavily, and then stumble round in an alcoholic fug, slobbering down girl's cleavages. I'm rather looking forward to it.

Hopefully not so low on blood that you require frenzy checks...

Damn...game jargon has finally successfully infected my brain to the point where I wasn't aware that I was using it.

No change there then.

It occurs to you I still owe you a list of 'things to mock David about'...

From: [identity profile] ksirafai.livejournal.com
You do. Come to our lovely party, person I've never met, and mock David for me. He appears to be mostly prepared to do it himself, but a backup and chorus is always good.

This invitation has been brought to you by too many housemates saying 'Noooo! Not more Cammies! Find some normal people!'.

I can't find normal. You may do instead. Bring people you know and trust not to trash the house. ;P

Date: 2004-09-07 03:44 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] rosamicula.livejournal.com
Well that is very nice of you. I don't think David would be happy though. I'm not sure he could cope with both of us...

*shrugs/grins* Is that not the point? :P

Gee, it's nice to have friends.

Or it would be, if I had any.

From: [identity profile] rosamicula.livejournal.com
Exactly so:)

I think I'll friend you - even though it means taking on another rper.

Date: 2004-09-07 04:49 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] ksirafai.livejournal.com
I'm a relatively inoffensive RPer, and only occasionally post things about my characters. And I have other topics of conversation. And am house trained, well behaved and impeccably mannered.

Except when harrassing those who deserve it, which is barely a breach of manners and more a necessity of entertainment. :)

I think female rpers are generally okay.

I presume that you won't assume that chronic BO functions like rohypnol, won't shower me with dandruff nor try and grope my tits. At least not through the medium of livejournal.

(Actually, if you're cute can grope my tits.)

From: [identity profile] ksirafai.livejournal.com
*checks* I'm good on those three points. Given a decent run up, I can probably manage to be cheerfully and aimlessly cynical? Though I'm sadly unlikely to grope anyone's tits, regardless of whatever level of physical attractiveness displayed by either myeslf or the other person involved. Sorry. (and sorry, [livejournal.com profile] davywavy... :P)

Why sorry to me?

Gosh, that was rather unexpected.

I thought he'd only give blood in countries where one is paid for it.

It might be worth accompanying him though - I suspect it will be like the Tony Hancock sketch.

Have you never given blood before?

If you give a pint of blood you can eat an extra 2000 calories that day to regenerate it. That's why I used to give blood in both London and Cardiff when I was commuting.

I think I'm scheduled to do a blood swap on the same day actually.

I gave blood about 10 years ago and just never got round to it again.

Do make sure you drink plenty of water though...
