Regular Coke *does* taste pretty strange to me, especially the ocassional sip of Cherry Coke versus Cherry Zero. Good thing I can't stand the 'real' stuff, since the diet versions have always tasted better than the sugary ones.

Glad you had less of a reaction to giving blood. (I miss giving blood, but I keep getting rejected because of anemia.) Trust me, passing out from a concussion does feel a *lot* different than passing out from major blood loss. Been there, done both. Concussion is a fast way to go out, but major blood loss is still slow enough it gives you time to think, "Hey...WTF?...Ohhhh, so THIS is what it's like....Damn, this won't end well..." before everything shuts down and goes black.

Have fun at the writing workshop! Yay, you! :D

Ah, see, I've never been a big fan of any form of flavored Coke or Pepsi, so I've never tasted Cherry Zero. Now, having only experienced regular Cherry Coke, I can imagine Cherry Zero would be a very...strange experience.

I don't know if I'd be able to miss giving blood, but I do understand the frustration. And from a writer-ly perspective, your experience regarding unconsciousness is much appreciated! (And really, really accurate, so far as bloodloss goes. XD)
