I'm also O+.
In the past 7 years that I've been eligible to donate I've already donated 1 1/2 gallons to the Blood Bank of Hawaii. Provided that I remain healthy, I will continue to donate!

Since posting this in 2004 I've upped it to 2 gallons. I would have donated more, but I've had a string of bad luck as far as my health goes.
I last donated about a week and a half ago. The Blood Bank of Hawaii was at an all-time critical and they called me at work begging me to come in. Luckily I was feeling up to it.

I donated for the first time this winter, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to be one of those statistics about people who don't go back.
Its not that I wouldn't want to give blood again, but I had a hard time donating it. I was rejected in the past because of low blood pressure, but this time I made the cut off. Barely. I was hooked up to the machine for nearly an hour. The nurse kept coming over, asking if I felt faint, and then resetting the timer to give me more time.

If you can't give a pint in 20 minutes they can't use your blood and they disconnect you. I can't believe they left you on the machine for nearly an hour, that's horrible!

O+ as well
I am scheduled to donate next week as they are coming to campus.
In Alaska it was interesting to watch people donate blood in the ballroom, then go downstairs to The Pub to have a few. They figured they would get drunk faster since they had less blood.

I am not allowed to donate blood... It makes me sad because I feel like a bad, uncaring person when everyone else goes to donate, but they won't take mine. 
I don't have a funky disease or anything - I swear!

I have a HUGE fear of needles so I've never given blood and therefore never learned my blood type. My sister gave blood last month so I called her to find out what type I have since her's would be the same as mine.

A-
I found mine out when I donated blood for myself for a surgery I had.
I have also donated blood on many occasions.
