Today, I went to the beach. After applying sunscreen liberally and doing my best to stay out of the sun, I came home with the worst sunburn I have ever had. I almost needed to go to the hospital. I am officially too pale to be allowed outside in summer. FML

You were probably just outside for TOO long. Everything has to be in moderation.

That sucks. You will probably have to go to the beach wearing those long sleeve sun shirts and long shorts. They actually look nice and something you can wear at the beach without sticking out. you can get them at REI and backcountry dot com websites.

You can also get a nasty sunburn in winter, especially if there is snow on the ground. My friend and I went snowboarding yesterday. I wore sunscreen and my friend didn't. By the time we left, her face and neck was burned except where her goggles covered her eyes.

Must be sucky to be a ginger?

Nah it's actually pretty cool getting to steal souls while riding my one toothed walrus through the waves of sand in the sahara desert while eating whole grain frosted flakes without a spoon.

gingers are awesome. I love my red hair :)

Actually the rest of the world isn't ******* wrapped up in their own country. I have never once seen an Australian comment on something like it's hot in July with "Are you stupid? It's winter!" You Americans don't understand the idiots that make up such a high percentage of your population, that's why we hate Americans in general.

I hate the sun.. I prefer cloudy, partly cloudy, rain, snow, tornado or hurricane. The only way sunny is nice for me is if it's cold

At least no one mistook you for a vampire and asked if you've seen Edward Cullen.

oh yea kasumii just assume that's it's an American real mature. were were not the only country in the northern hemisphere. asshole. oh yea what if that person is a kid. the southern hemisphere isn't the only thing we need to learn about in school.

What's up with all the minuses with each comment lateley? So much trolling? Anyway, OP, if you get sunburned so bad you might had to go to the hospital you never noticed anything? Not even feel ill or get an headache from the heat? Now know some people can get sunburns really fast, but that fast and that bad? I feel sorry for you, but try to go to a indoor/outdoor pool or something.
