The advice I was given was to ice the area, which I suppose is the same theory of numbing the nerve endings. But if they'll stay away longer with a hair dryer, I can try that.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

Dana, if you don't cut off your limbs with a circular saw, I won't attempt to puncture a hole in the left side of my skull to relieve the pressure.

Our wings are not tired.
If you have a hairdryer, it's worth trying.
Oh! Does this work on all itches, like bug bites and healing scabs? I can take pain, but itch makes me insane(r).

Yeah, I think I can make that deal.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Resisting either the circular saw option or the temptation to take a vegetable peeler to my arms.

I don't see why it wouldn't work -- it's all about overloading the nerve endings; it shouldn't matter what the source of the itch is.

Cool. In the meantime, I'm going to keep trying to make this SN thing an actual story rather than a loose collection of crappy scenes.

Lord, I just saw Sunday's ROBOT CHICKEN, which is one I hadn't seen before, and damn that was one SERIOUSLY dark take on Calvin and Hobbes.
