That Sun Thing...

[rebness]

Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow.

Question: why do the British go insane at the slightest hint of sun? Why did my friends, family and I feel it was such a good idea to sit outside in that baking hot sun wearing that lethal tanning oil?

WHY when my skin is pale and sensitive and all English rose-y? Am lobster, yo.

My life iz ruined oh noes, etc.

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?

Oh, people definitely react to me differently. If I'm red they seem to think I'm all vibrant and fun-loving, brown they ignore, black they assume "Goth" and I don't know about blonde... never tried it.

What colour is your hair naturally?

Naturally? I don't remember....:D It's blondish brown, the amount of blonde depending on how much sun I get. My mom calls it ash blonde. It was true blonde until I hit high school, when blonde hair would be useful, and then it suddenly turned dark and curly. Such is my life.

It's weird how much people judge you by superficial things like hair color. Especially men. Stupid men.
