Welcome to Gaia! ::

I stay indoors as much as possible during the day....Unless it is cloudy out. I dont go anywhere unless it is at night. So if i do happen to go outside the sun burns my eyes. burning_eyes I like the night better anyways...

It kind of.. Irritates me when people I know won't come outside and hang out, because they want to "keep their pale complexion". It kind of makes me want to.. Hmm..

Tie their wrists to the headboard of their bed and cover them in suntan lotion so they're all orange!! twisted twisted

I prefer pale chicks, so I think it's a perfectly legitimate reason not to go outside. 3nodding

i don't mind the sun, but i try to avoid it. or at least coat myself in sunscreen. i may be half mexican, but i unfortunatly wound up with my irish side taking over on the skin color. without arm warmers i burn driving to work and it's only a 10 minute drive.

but then again, i live in So Cal so i guess you either deal with the sun or don't go outside for 350 days of the year.

Ahh, the bright burning orb of death that shines in the afternoon sky?

Well... my opinions on the sun are influenced by two major factors, I have blue eyes and light skin. Now, as you might know the lighter the pigment in your eyes, the more sensative to light your eyeballs can be. Hence sunglasses and a bright day are a must. Couple that with the fact that I spend a good chunk of my recreational time indoors, and well.. my eyes aren't exacty adapted to being outside as much anymore.

The second thing is I do not, under any circumstances tan. I made the mistake of forgetting to put on sunscreen one time on a vacation in florida.... heh... not only did I turn a nice shade of pink, but I got a not so nice case of sun-sickness as well. I ended up sleeping the rest of that day and throwing up. Thankfully I live a bit farther north where the rays of the sun aren't quite so direct and painful to me, but as much as I love Florida as vacation spot, I would never be able to live there.

To Funkyblueeyes Yeah I terribly dislike it when my friends won't come out because they're afraid of a little sun. I mean I would love to be pale..I just have the physical inability to be so. I mean it's one thing to avoid going out because you sunburn no matter what and it's another thing to avoid going out because you don't wish to ruin you're perfect pale-ness with the sun even though sunblock willl help do that.

To Lurichan, yeah I know what you mean about light eyes. I have really light seafoam green eyes and bright things hurt soo much. I'm just a silly person who loves being outside way too much, and goes outside anyway.

My job has me outside for an hour every day so sunscreen is my best friend. I always wear long sleeves and jeans too because if I don't, I burn.
