I'm an idiot
Yes, I am. But I can guarantee that I'll never make the same mistake again. Nosiree. I rode my motorcycle in shorts. Got a burn on my calf that will leave a fairly large scar. I am a fucking moron. And I'll never do it again. So I suppose the experience wasn't completely wasted. I just wish I weren't a fucking moron. Luckily, I have great friends, one of whom has a great deal of experience in dealing with injuries.
Combining his experience, and my wonderful Army basic and CLS training, I think we managed to treat it correctly. I cut away the dead skin that wasn't attached to live skin, we cleansed it with a sterile solution, put on some "Burn Stuff" (no, really, that's its name, and it fucking kicks ass), put some moist burn pads over that, covered the parts not covered with burn pads with sterile gauze, and taped it down. I'm going to keep an eye on it for infection, but it's feeling pretty well right now. Hopefully I'll be able to stop putting on the burn pads in a day or two, and just cover it with burn gel and gauze.I'd just like to repeat, I am a fucking moron. And I have kick ass friends. It almost evens out.

Ah... friends. Good for treating wounds, picking us up when we're drunk, and then laughing at us for it afterwards and forever reminding us of what we did.
Did you dump it or burn it on something hot?
OW! I've had a burn or three in my life, but never anything that painful. >.< If it's any consolation, I've seen people do much sillier things. =P
yeah, when do you have some free time? Dumb question because I know my next 2 weekends are booked. blah. I am thinking on another tattoo... we should discuss my options. =)
