OO and AB

Disclaimer: I am feeling totally random, hence some of the sentences might be left unfinished and my "stories" might be left unfinished depending on my mood and the degree of randomness I am feeling. Thank you for your consideration. Lol.

I donated blood a few days ago and immediately after the blood lost I had a lecture. Naturally, I was sitting with a few friends and a friend on my right, codename - Netbook, started a random conversation about blood types. Netbook explained how our blood types are determined the entire OO and OO partners will always have OO child and OA and OB's children could have all 4 types of blood types depending on luck. I will save you guys the boredom of having to read through all this. I went on to reveal my blood type - O pos and Netbook did the same. Netbook is a universal receiver and I am a universal donor. For all of you who have no idea what is a universal receiver, a universal receiver is someone with bloodtype AB, which means they can receive blood from all 4 major blood groups. And that was the end of our conversation regarding blood types because the lecturer started his 3 hour lecture.

It was only after I had time to think after lessons that something came to mind. I know that contrary to popular Asian believe, your blood type DOES NOT determine your personality, my forensic science lecturer would be so proud. Lol. But being a Asian ...or is it an Asian? pfft, whatever lah... myself, I can't help but wonder if it's true because from all the comic strips that I've encountered explaining the behavior of different blood types, it does seem true at times. And then, I sort of linked it to the whole universal donor and universal receiver thing. I am a universal donor, does this mean that I can express myself freely without feeling the burden of judgement, I "give" myself to the people around me all the time. Hence, O blood types are often portrayed as extroverts and playful. ABs, being 5% of the world population ...according to Netbook... is a universal receiver, does this mean that ABs are always receiving perceptions through their own observations? Don't blame me, blame the comic strips because they are always perceived as deep thinkers/quiet/introverts.

Does any of this make any sense to you at all? Do you get where I am getting at? Lol. Nevermind, I think its just me. Seriously, think about it. And if you still don't get it, think harder and you might just understand me. By the way, the last line should be motivating you to think because its pretty hard to understand me. Even I cannot understand myself. =/
