I've given twice, both times when I was in high school. My French teacher was really influential in my life and all, and she was the head of the Athenas at my school. They always did a blood drive and other community things. I remember they always did Relay for Life too... I was always too shy to join the Athenas but at any rate, I did try to give blood each time. I've given twice and been rejected twice.
I admit I haven't tried in awhile, though. The last time I gave, something went horribly wrong and I got stabbed in a nerve. The nurse thought I was just doing a normal freakout like some of the other high school kids, but I knew something was wrong because I'd done it before and it hadn't hurt anything like that... anyway, the most horrible part was that I wanted her to take it out, but she wouldn't, I had to finish filling up the pint first. And it was going so slow because my vein wasn't properly tapped.
Then a couple of months ago I got E Coli from some ground beef and had to get a ton of blood tests done before I knew what was wrong, and that pretty much completed turning me off to stabbyness. It always had to be tried multiple times because I was so tense with the memory of the nervestab incident.
.... Why did I go into such a long anecdote? xD sweatdrop

Ciaphus_Cain Rannchan I wish I could. I'm not allowed to donate blood because I was in Germany for 6 months or more during the 80's. Meaning... they think there's a chance I might have mad cow and I'm not allowed to donate. Wow that would suck. They could test for it couldn't they? @Erina: Ahh. So you have to wait to give?
Nope. They don't have effective tests for humans and it doesn't show any signs until old age. They ban us because they don't know. Better Safe than Sorry is their motto.
