Thanks FAC and Trixie

It is good to see that some people understand, at least. I try not to get upset, but it's not like I can just walk outside and "get tan". It just doesn't work that way. It's not like I hide inside all day, afraid of the sunshine. It's genetics! And besides, I don't want to look all brown and wrinkly in a few years. Is that so wrong?
I'm 27, just for the record. Almost 28 since July 1st is just around the corner now.
Thanks for the kind words, you did cheer me up. I just can't let the negative comments get to me. *sigh* Sometimes growing a thicker skin can be useful, I suppose.
