People around here go insane when the sun first shows itself too--it's that six/seven months of snow and clouds, and the fact it could still start snowing again any second, so sun must be enjoyed while it lasts. My fair redheaded sister starts attempting to get herself tan this time every year, and burns herself lobster red, then as soon as she peels and heals, is back out in the sun.

I've been avoiding baking myself in the sun so far, but mostly only because whenever I have time off work, it rains, or snows. Cornstarch is good for sunburns, just pat a little on like baby powder. It's an old family rememdy, and I can personally attest to its effectiveness.

I like the redhair. I've been thinking of going red myself lately. My mother is pressuring me to just let my natural hair grow out, how boring! Do you find people react differently to you when you change your haircolor?
