To go to the mall, right?
You know those blood pressure checking things they have in Wal-Marts and grocery stores?
Well, I'm *crag* terrified of them. They remind me of blood tests.
nonetheless, I walked over to it and tried to take my blood pressure because... wtf I dunno I shouldn't be afraid of those damn things. Or blood tests.
As usual, I had a panic attack. :(
and I also bought some band pins |

I don't think we have that in our Wal-Mart...
On a completely unrelated note, how big is Vancouver Island? Is it just like, one big City and Wilderness, or a bunch of Cities? |

Hm, well, there are a couple big cities, like Nanaimo and Victoria... then there are quite a few little rural cities like mine, where there's little to do and we generally rely on the bigger cities for shopping and recreation. There are a LOT of completely rural communities, too, where there's basically just forest and the occasional house here and there. |

I generally begin hyperventilating, and moving myself to attempt to distract myself from the situation (tapping feet, struggling, etc.). Fits of laughter are common as well. I also get that weird "dizzy" feeling.
I had a full blown panic attack during a blood test once and passed out. |

Ah... Well, that sucks.
Don't get too many blood tests then., I guess ?
Yeah, I basically suck at small talk even if the normal dynamics of a conversation are nonexistent. |

I get blood tests, like... once every five years or something like that. Stupid, since I'm not afraid of vaccinations at all, and they hurt much more than a butterfly needle.
And, don't worry, I suck at small talk as well. :U |

Whoa, my Band Instructor just told us we're going to Vancouver Island on our Canada Trip this summer. Some Town called Port Alberni or something. |

I once had to have a needle stuck in my arm. The same thing happened.
