When I went to the doctor's office, I tried to look at the needle while my blood was bring drawn. I totally failed.
I don't actually know what docto's office is in Finnish, but "doctor house" sounded weird to me. Was this actually in a dictionary? Anyhow, just saying "to the doctor's" is completely normal.
I hope they didn't take all of your blood! :o
Ihan means "just".

Ja lopettakaa verestä puhuminen jo!
And stop talking about blood already!

Generalmente, la tema de las conversaciones aquí se centran en sexo homosexual*.
Usually, the theme of the conversations here revolve around gay sex.

Lo cambio! Hablamos de sexo heterosexual!
I'll change this! Let's talk about heterosexual sex!

Lo que no tuve, y por eso no puedo contribuir a esta conversación.
Which I have never had, and therefore cannot contribute to the conversation.

*okay, is there a non-medical sounding but also not offensive colloquial term for gay in Spanish?

Also, *izwera looks like 2PL.GEN (cf. MHG iuwer). Was that on purpose?

yes, we say "sexo gay" (I say /gej/, some have /gaj/) xD
and homosexual doesn't sound clinical in Spanish... I guess that's in English. It sounds neutral and semi-formal.

Obviously you wanted to say O să beau sângele tău!. However, Îți voi bea sângele! sound much more menacing.

Nagbalak akong matulog alas dose pero ngayon hindi puwedeng matulog at kailangan kong gisingin alas onse y medya.

I planned to sleep at 12:00 but I can't sleep now and I have to wake up at 11:30.
I did have a bizarrely similar (to the original poster's) accident about four years ago, in which I slipped over a cookie and somehow twisted my ankle so far that it broke
What kind of cookie?

Hindi problema ito karaniwan, pero ngayon 7:15. Nagpapalagay akong babawi lang ng nagbalak ko.
Normally this isn't a problem, but right now it's 7:15. I think I will just cancel what I planned.

Todas las palabras latinas/griegas en inglés suelen ser pijas o técnicas.
Touts les mots latines/greques d'anglais a l'habitude d'être snob ou techniques.

All Latin/Greek words tend to be posh or technical.

L'espagnole/le français/le catalan est pour les geek et les snob.
Spanish/French/Catalan is for geeks and snobs.

Je suis geek.
I'm a geek.
It was about time I changed this.

Today I had my first falafel from a Greek shop in the UK and it was not tasty at all. I want to go back to the shop in French Hill.
