icepixieGaaaaaah. This is seriously rivaling that time I threw my back out for most painful experience I've ever had. How does a blister about 1 cm wide manage to hurt SO MUCH?
At least it only hurts that bad when I take it out of the bowl of cold water. And the lidocaine/aloe vera gel I luckily saved after my last really bad sunburn lets me keep it out of the water for almost ninety seconds before the pain comes back. But however nice they are, these remedies do present certain problems with, say, sleeping...which I guess I won't be doing tonight. *sigh*
Thank you all for the lols; individual responses coming either when I get bored from my pain-induced all-nighter or regain the use of my right hand for typing, whichever comes first.

On a related note, how the heck did you do that to yourself?
I was cooking rice pudding in the microwave, and the package suggested covering the bowl with plastic wrap. Because I am DUMB, I lifted the wrap off with my bare hand when it was done. Cue superheated steam.

Oooh, that sounds like no fun at all. I hope this doesn't put you off rice pudding forever!

Nah, I don't think it will.

Good, rice pudding is one of the best desserts, in my opinion.
