today i smashed my previous record of 7 mins 22 secs at giving a pint of blood. it now stands at 6 mins 14 secs.

i wonder if there is a way to train myself to go under 5 mins.

Choleric?

I always get cholera, cholic, and choleric mixed up. Good thing they never come up in conversation.

Until TODAY!!!

Bertine? Isn't that a Flemish name?

i think i'm probably the only human who often discusses the four humours, actually. hmm.

'bertine' comes from the sanskrit word 'bahteen', meaning 'squeaky'.

My joke was lost. In retrospect, I should have spelled that Phlemish.

I had a massive crush on a Norweigian exchange student in High School. Her name was Ingunn. Le sigh!
