It always drove me nuts that my sister got more of Dad's Swedish skin than Mom's Irish fairness, whereas I'm the other way around. I remember my first summer spent in Milwaukee during college, when I managed to get so badly burnt on my first visit to the beach that I ended up with a mild case of sun poisoning--I spent the night shivering and on the verge of throwing up after my roommate helped me coat Noxema on the burns.
I had spf 45 on, but I wasn't expecting to be out in the sun for an hour and a half.
Whatever. I'm not done blaming the victim, yet.
Oh, my god, why is Livejournal sucking so much?
It really really is.
Juliana, pfft. It's not like you forced me outside and locked the door behind me. Unless that would get me another mojito, in which case that is EXACTLY what happened.
In completely different news, has anyone flown Frontier airlines? Are they any good?

Let me know when you are, okay?
Poor, Lee! And Emily got blisters on that forced march stroll by the water.
I was saved from the popular activity in my high school years of coating oneself with baby oil and lying out for hours by my intolerance of boredom (it's hard to read in full sun) and heat. Little did I know what a good thing that piece of asocial behavior would turn out to be. I did have a few awful sunburns from going to the beach, particularly in the dark ages before sunscreen.
I think I flew Frontier last month and it was just fine.
Let me know when you are, okay?
2:45 okay?
Where you wearing something sexy and revealing?
Timelies all!
Congrats msbelle!
I'm in the "don't tan, no really." Once upon a time I might have been able to get a light tan if I carefully used sunscreen, but after many years of acne meds I avoid the sun as much as possible.
2:45 okay?
Sure.
Where you wearing something sexy and revealing?
Nope, though I did miss a line of skin on my back in my lotioning up.
I tend to transform into Lobster Man on first exposure and then gradually build up a medium tan (in years where I get repeated sun exposure at all). But I'm still amused by the summer of 2000, when I got tan enough to be rejected by someone who refused to date Latinos.
