Stupidity in the Name of Research, For the Win!

[taste_is_sweet]

I may have slid a disposable safety razor across my forearm to see if it was possible to cut yourself deliberately doing that.

Guess what? You can! Not very deeply, but it sure stings. Took a few seconds for the blood to well up, too. But there was blood, and that's what I needed to find out.

I am not planning on becoming a cutter, by the way (wpadmirer couldn't stand two of them. Heh), just in case any of you were wondering if I'd lost my mind. Nope, this was just pure research. Though perhaps a tad ill-planned. Just a tad.

I kind of didn't think it would work. Or I wouldn't have done it. Most likely.

But hey--authenticity in fiction is what makes it great, eh? Right? Right?

::coughs:: I'll just be over there. Getting a Band-aid.

You writers will do any research to get the fic right, won't you?! The mind boggles. Just reassure me one more time that you don't plan to start cutting...kay? Thanks.

Definitely don't plan to start cutting! It hurts!

Your concern is much appreciated, as are the snuggles. :)
