The sun sucks. Actually, I love the sun. My skin sucks. I hate being perpetually pasty white. If I spend more than an hour in the sun without sunblock, I'm toast. This past Saturday, Carolyn, Declan and I accompanied Matt to one of his nerd club rocket launches. It was really neat to see, but we were out in the sun (shaded in a tent occasionally) for a good five hours. They had sunblock on, Matt and I did not.
I didn't think of it before we left, and when we were there, it was offered, but I figured "hey, I feel fine, I don't need it." I'm so dumb. Of course, I'm in terrible discomfort from the tops of my feet to just below my eyes. And I look ridiculous. My chin itches like crazy, my arms and legs hurt, my ankles and tops of my feet hurt and it is torture to wear shoes.
The worst part - I'll peel and be as white as I was before I started. And I'll never learn...
