I cut one of my tastebuds off today. On purpose. But not just because I was bored and felt like inflicting some pain upon myself. (Cutting off a tastebud is actually rather painful. And bleeds a good amount afterwards actually.)

I cut it off, with a pair of nail cutters, because it was infected and was right on the tip of my tongue, so whenever I talked it would hurt. Plus it couldn't really feel things normally, so it was almost as if a very small part of the tip of my tongue was numb. Now it still kind of feels like that, but that's because I just don't have a taste bud there at all now. It does feel much better on the whole though. :>
