I know I should give blood, but the idea gives me the yuggs. Not fond of needles, dislike bloodtests (and I have them regularly). The idea of sitting around watching my lifeblood drain away just makes me feel queasy.

Hmm, the whole thing makes me really queasy too, and I hate needles but frequent blood tests have taught me how to relax myself to get through it. Although perhaps I relax too much, making my blood slower. But it is yukky anyway, I'm glad I have a friend who goes with me. Ad astra per aspera
