camwynMrph. So far I've got six or seven possible donors among the volunteers for Buffycon, one person who emailed me to say he wanted to give, one person who emailed to say she wanted to give but her blood pressure tended to get her deferred, and me. The local blood region contact says he's put posters up all over the Holiday Inn, which may be something, but...
If any of y'all out there are normal in your iron counts, and don't have active cold sores or other blistery disases, and haven't had sex since 1977 with a man who's had sex with another man since 1977, and haven't tested positive for anything nasty lately, and aren't on a medication more complicated than the Pill, and haven't had anything pierced in a year, and aren't pregnant, and haven't spent vast chunks of time in the UK or Europe lately, and aren't prone to blood/lung/heart diseases, and aren't a cancer patient, and haven't had major surgery in the last month or so, do me a favour. Show up and bleed at Buffycon, OK? I asked the Bloodmobile people to wear fangs, and I'll bring the freaky candy that the Japanese make that combines pop rocks with sourballs. You can have one if you want, or if you're afraid of them I'll refrain from giving 'em to you. C'mon, please? Despite the scientists' best efforts there's no substitute at all for human blood.
Oh, and if you have had sex with a man who's had sex with another man, or if you are a man who's had sex with another man since 1977, I would like to apologise for the fact that your saying so will result in your being turned away. It's beyond my control, but I'm still sorry for it.
