Hmm...I never got my 1 and 3 pin.
Just got my 10 pin when I went a few weeks ago. They give you the pin and fancy pin pad to stick your pins on.
You'll get used to the needle. It's just a matter of time before you won't even notice it.
It does feel really good to know that you saved a life when you give. I noticed too the small minority of Asians there. I guess the culture doesn't lend itself very well to donating. I think they should do more education in the Asian community to tell them how it can benefit others and how the body can "regenerate" the blood that is given during a donation. My mom is pretty old school and is of the belief that once it's donated it's gone and your body doesn't regenerate new blood. It took a lot of explanation before she finally got it....
BTW, congrats on the donation! Registering through the page that 89blkcivic listed above should make it count. Too bad I didn't know about it earlier - could have added a few more donations to the tally. My last donation was the first one that counted towards RS...
