Things my brain has decided are important at 2 am

Lee Pace--I agree brain, he is lovely as hell, and my be my new boyfriend. (Look him up ladies...oh, so loverly)

I also thought I should research why it is people had to get blood tests before marriage. (Turns out it was to detect syphillis. Who knew? Not I. )

Rh type and Pregnancy--which is why I thought people had to get blood tested.  I am RH negative and I really, really needed to know what that meant right now. Thank you internet. (And curse you stupid blood, stupid, stupid!)

Now I just discovered that only 6 percent of the world's population has my stupid stupid blood. Thanks again internets! And I just discovered that the highest percentage of A- blood (82 %) is found among the Blackfoot Nation. This blood thing is interesting.  

Right now the Japanese are really into Blood types as signifiers of personality (positive and negative RH doesn't factor in here).

Here's a breakdown from a Japanese culture site ( http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art22988.asp ):

Type O:
Type O's are outgoing, and very social. They are initiators, although they don't always finish what they start. Creative and popular, they love to be the center of attention and appear very self confident.

Type A:
While outwardly calm, they have such high standards (perfectionists) that they tend to be balls of nerves on the inside. Type A's are the most artistic of the blood groups. They can be shy, are conscientious, trustworthy, and sensitive.

Type B:
Goal oriented and strong minded, type B's will start a task and continue it until completed, and completed well. Type B's are the individualists of the blood group categories and find their own way in life.

Type AB:
Type AB's are the split personalities of the blood groups. They can be both outgoing and shy, confident and timid. While responsible, too much responsibility will cause a problem. They are trustworthy and like to help others.


Well, that seems weirdly likely. Weird.

From another site(http://www.issendai.com/rpgs/takemywings/bloodtypes.htm):

Type A

People with blood type A have a deep-rooted strength that helps them stay calm in a crisis when everyone else is panicking. However, they tend to avoid confrontation, and feel very uncomfortable around people. A types are shy and sometimes withdrawn. They seek harmony and are very polite, but all the same feel that they never really fit in with others. A types are very responsible. If there is a job to be done, they prefer to take care of it themselves. These people crave success and are perfectionists. They are also very creative, and the most artistic of all the blood types, most likely because of their sensitivity.

Perfectionist is equal to "control freak" right? If so...that's me! 

So, finally I'm starting to get tired. Hooray, hooray. Thank you internet. Thank you.

Writer's Block: Grab and Go

Scenario: For exactly 1 minute, you get access to all the databases of all the intelligence agencies in the world (CIA, FBI, KGB, MI-5, etc). What do you want to find out before time is up and you're caught and jailed forever?

There's not much I could do in one minute.
Maybe find out if I really do have an FBI file as a result of my reading habits...that would be interesting.
