Well I'm probably a light auburn-typed redhead :) and I get called 'ranga' sometimes. It hurts my feelings ALOT! but I just tell myself, "You're pretty! and you know it!" NEVER think of all the RUDE remarks, ONLY all the GOOD ones! Alot of people always say, "Oh look at her hair (in a good way) and "Her hair is so beautiful!"

And I know how it feels when people always say, "Oh you look NOTHING like your brother or sister" (mine are brunettes) and, "Oh are you adopted?" But I just let it go. I just tell myself that I'm not 'the odd one out', but I'm the 'unique one'!

The other day my best friends Deborah and Leia were saying what our names reminded her of and she said mine reminded her of fire :). I went to a masquerade disco last night and I had my mask on and my outfit (red everything - mask, dress and shoes, coz it 'compliments' my hair colour :D) and my friend said my hair was a dead giveaway to know that it was me. I was a tiny bit offended in the beginning, but then I liked it!
I hope this helped all you fiery redheads! ;):D
