Weird Tongue

I have gotten a wierd mark on my tongue, like a bite. I read on the internet and thing it may be "geographic tongue" syndrome.
I don't know, I took a few pictures a few days ago.
It looks like a bite, it felt like it was a bite but I don't remember being bitten or things in that order. Maybe I bited myself while I slept. I am not sure.
Maybe you can tell me what this is ?
I have updated photos of my tongue on imageshack
Here they are:

Hi.
The pictures I've taken a few days ago. It got better since then, It's not red anymore but it still looks different from the rest of the tongue.

Dear Patient
No you did not get weird doing this, actually it was pretty cool seeing a patient taking the initiative to do this.
It does look like a geographic tongue, but the fact is that is localized at the tip of your tongue. It also could be due to trauma, such as tongue biting. But I would recommend that you have it evaluated by an Oral Surgeon.
Thank you
