Have you ever fainted?

[Winston]

I fainted once, as a boy, maybe 6 or 7 years old. It was very brief, just for a few seconds. I had some blood samples taken at a clinic, and the combination of the (slight) blood loss and the unfamiliar, powerful smell of "hospital" made me queasy. My mom thought I'd managed it so well that she would buy me a comic book as a reward, and we went to the kiosk to get it. I waited outside in the fresh air, but when my mom came out, after less than a minute, I had fallen over and passed out. I was instantly conscious again, but rather groggy for some time on our way home. I must say that the comic book helped a lot in overcoming the embarrassment. You just can't beat Disney when it comes to that.

I almost did a few month's ago. I broke my fingertip and after the initial shock when i was sitting in the doctor's office, he started describing how they could drill a hole into the fingernail to drain the blood from underneath it.

That didn't sit well for some reason and I had to lay down.

That's the closest I've come.

ACK!

Fainted several times. If I am hungry/exhausted and I have to have my blood taken, I tend to faint if not sittind/laying down.

I have no idea why, cause I really dont have any fear of needles or anything alike.

BTW. I noticed that after fainting I dream in B/W.

Yes, while taking a piss. I was too high at the time.

Woke up 2 minutes after with my pants around my ankles...I was 15 or 16...not quite sure.

Can't say that I fainted, but I lost consciousness last night.

Woke up 8 hours later and I was fine.

I remember girls in gradeschool (And maybe highschool?) doing it on purpose.. I don't really remember how they caused themselves to faint though.. maybe hyperventilation?

Never fainted, but I did get hit so hard once on a running play in football where I saw stars and I didn't know which way I was susposed to be running the ball for a couple seconds.

(Key to that story was that the hit failed to tackle me and I was still capable of running, just not in any predetermined direction...)
