My body hates giving blood. It even fights back by trying to close up around the needle, if it can. On the plus side, I didn't have to give enough this morning to get dizzy afterward.

[edit: I also adore the fact that my doctor is open-minded enough to adjust to my being poly, in her thinking. And believes me when I self-diagnose and/or tell her what I need done.]

I find it interesting that, even though I've not played them in a while, and _won't_, the fact that I'm trying to "sell my "Quest for Glory Anthology" on ebay makes me a little sad. I _like_ that series! And it's something I played a fair amount of as a kid. But I won't use it, so why keep it around?

So... is it the specific word? And if so, how do I warn about it?

(eg, I've since cut the offending bit, and mentioned something about drawing blood in the cut text. Does that work?)

It _is_ tricky to figure out how to warn about this. Sometimes the specific word will get me, sometimes it won't. Usually the word requires some context wrapped around it to bother me much, but there's also the question of how much context my imagination will try to fill in at any given time. Hmm...I haven't really looked at this very closely. This will require some observation and pondering, and I will let you know if I come up with anything useful.

The cut text works well enough for me right now, with my mind (trying to be) more in analytical mode...which also makes it harder to predict reactions to the same text under other circumstances. Um...I don't seem to have all words I want here; tired brain. Might noodle at you some other time.

Noted, and noted. :)
