e. Round, lumpy, almost-keloidal scar on the back of my left hand: OK, this is embarrassing. I wanted to see what a lye burn was like. So I stuck a pellet to myself with a band-aid. When it started to itch, during the next class period, I removed the band-aid. It did a lot more damage than I expected. I was scared of my parents dismembering me, so I lied and said it had been an accidental spill of a diluted solution that had somehow stayed on me all day without my noticing. The healing process was FASCINATING. At one point I could balance a pencil (with a suitably-rounded eraser head) in the hole. I have two pictures. I only wish I had owned color film at the time, and thought to document the whole progression. I mean, I'm probably not going to get to see it again.
