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.

All my friends have the same problem. I go pink and get really hot, but my skin's brown the next day. That's after using extreme amounts of sunscreen. I live near a beach and yet the most burnt I've ever been was visiting Melbourne the other week and it was raining the whole time. Weird.

Yes, in January. You should have learnt this at school. But basically, the southern hemisphere has the opposite seasons to the northern, and as the OP is from Australia, it's summer for her.

She's a Ginger dumbass. She isn't a daywalker where she can go outside.

Usually I'd say me too, but this past summer I spent 3 days in South Padre (Texas/Mexico Border), and i applied waterproof SPF 50 sunblock every 45 mins. When i got home, the only spot burnt was on my back where my bf neglected his duties! I had absolutely no tan, but I'd rather be pasty than burnt... :D
