put it in the microwave 
She's blonde! She'll do it and burn down her house. You shouldn't say stuff like that to blondes.
So should I use the defrost button?Whenever you get a phone wet or wash it, you are supposed to pull the battery out asap...never try to turn it on as that is what will kill it if theres a chance to save it. Let it dry for a long time...probably at least a week. Some suggest silica gel packets...i've also heard of dipping it in denatured alcohol..it displaces the water and then dries very quickly. Probly too late now but maybe next time...

Prolly not. I tried when my Chocolate broke the first time...all the colors have seperate model numbers. The second time (they shipped a bad phone) the guy was going to let me, but they didn't have any pink ones yet. I lucked out and got a brand new phone with a car charger though.

Thats how them b*tch's R
My cell took a coffee break a few months ago, lol. Dropped it right into my completely full, hot cup of joe. I let it dry out, etc.... It's a flip phone with the screen on the front as well and that screen messed up. You can only view it (barely) from an angle. Of course, no insurance.

Not sure..
It sounds like there's moisture in the display still, if the display is still looking "weird". I would probably recommend shaking it a bit (and I'm sure you've probably done this already, but it wouldn't hurt another 5-10 minutes of shaking). You may be stuck with the dodgy display due to the length of time the moisture been in it and that some phones simply cannot handle a little bit of moisture in the display at all.
I'm not sure where you've got the phone from, but to my knowledge most mobile companies will not repair moisture-damaged phones. It's been a steadily increased problem throughout the past few years. I blame Washing Machines, Pools, and Toilets (yes, Toilets - you never know when your three year old is going to just steal your mobile and toss it into the toilet).
