Well, it's that time again...

Time when certain people attempt to tan.

You do need some sunlight to synthesise vitamin D so you don't get rickets, but half an hour three days a week should be fine, more if you're dark skinned, less if you're near the equator. If you want to tan, just remember this statement:

A tan is nothing but a mild sunburn, and a sunburn is only a low-grade radiation burn.

So, now that you've thought about it:

1. Sunscreen should go on half an hour before you leave the house.

2. You should remember the part of your hair, or bald spot.

3. Don't neglect your lips, that's why they sell lip balms with an SPF 15.

4. Don't forget to reapply sunscreen after sweating or going in the water, even if it's waterproof.

5. Avoid the sun around noon. That's a few hours BEFORE and AFTER noon.

6. Opaque clothing has a slight SPF factor. Lighter fabrics don't. Nobody will know if you put the sunscreen on under your clothing.

I've seen this a few times on my friends list...

What I don't understand is why. It's not sweet. It's not even clever. It's stupid. The best way to slow down a car (or motorcycle) is NOT to "hit the brakes" but to let up on the gas. That's what they say for ice storms too, that when you start to skid, you don't hit the brakes and go out of control, you move your foot from the gas pedal and wait for the car to slow down.

In other news, I'm sitting across from a pair of potential library sex fiends. They're really distracting.

Oh crap, and I didn't even notice!

98 support points! NINETY-EIGHT! Go me!

And not a single support priv at all, I am so distraught. *sighs*

Did I mention, I have nearly 100 support points? *dances*
