how bad is it?

onewheelwizzard:
The area I set on fire is about the size of my hand, between the middle of my forehead and the right side of my mouth.  There's a coin-sized piece of skin that got lifted off the side of my nose (only the very top layer though) and I lost half of my right eyebrow and about a third of my mustache.  All in all, it's not nearly enough to give me an interesting scar and to be honest I probably won't even remember that it happened by the end of the week.  It kinda hurts like a bitch right now though.

It was totally my own fault.  I straight up hit myself in the face with a flaming knot of kevlar that was all soaked in fuel and had only just been lit, got a whole side of my face all wet with actively combusting naphtha, and didn't manage to put it out until at least a second and a half later.  The damage and subsequent pain ended up being relatively light, compared to how bad it could've been.    It'll be sore for a while but I didn't do any lasting damage and I'm counting myself lucky, considering the fact that the area of my face that I set on fire actually covers my right eye (which is a little swollen ... we'll see how it feels in the morning).

In any case, it's not happening again.  I was trying some really difficult shit that I should've waited on until the flames were a good bit lower, and I was a little tipsy to boot, and I paid for it.  It's not the kind of mistake you make twice.  On the plus side, I kept spinning until they burned out, and the second, third, and fourth time I tried the same trick, it worked great.  I didn't realize that I'd actually fucked my face up until I stopped and the adrenaline wore off a bit.

I fucking love spinning fire, by the way.  To be totally honest I'm kind of proud of this.

put some aloe vera on that shit

yesterday was kind of awesome. I woke up early and said goodbye to my mother who had come to see me for the first time in five years in Edinburgh and then she was gone so I biked back home and didn't use punctuation because it makes it sound continuous and like that guy on pitchfork reviews.

Then I totally went to a coffee shop and hung out with my friend who is an expert on afghani warfare and pakistani tribes and shit and then I installed OSX.6 on a new macbook backup that used to be my grandfathers and then I went home to get some more stuff. When I realised I was watching a really lame series I stopped and went outside and when I was outside I went to the big park here called the meadows where I saw the most beuatiful girl I know who I had sworn I would ask out the day before after three years of me being like "I love that girl, but it'll never work."

The upshot is that we hung out all day, first for hours and hours in the sun with friends and then at a horse race that was really thirty hippies running around with people on their back next to cherry blossoming trees which was awesome and there were so many dreadlocks and a fer happy dogs and after being told that the day was a peaceful jaguar day by Big Tim, the guy who is a bit crazy but has a nice dog, i went off and had dinner and wine and good times with girl and co and then at one point after dinner we went into a room alone and played the guitar songs we wrote ourselves before everyone else joined us and then i told her i would meet her today and teach her yoshimi battles the pink robots on guitar and it was perfect and she wanted that.

the problem is I don't know it and this morning before I had to clean the flat because the landlords suck and before I had to go to work and before I annoyed my flatmates by being like 'i have work' i tried to learn it on the guitar and my wrist killed and hopefully i'll get it soon or maybe i'll just restring my ukulele because that's easier and i really want this to work.

Ha ha no, if the burn in total is greater than a circle of roughly less that 1 inch in diameter you need to get it looked at by a pro. The possibility of infection is a serious worry even if it isn't yet weeping (serum, puss, whatever take yr pick).
