Throughout history, redheads have been feared and revered, loathed and adored, degraded and exalted. No other human trait has provoked such a array of emotions in such a large number of fellow humans. It is like boiling is to freezing or despair is to hope.
There are degrees of reddishness when referring to hair, including ginger, auburn (reddish brown), and strawberry blonde. Red hair is found most commonly at the western fringes of Europe. Leading the pack, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and England have the most redheads. Scotland has the highest proportion with 13% having red hair and approximately 40% possessing the recessive redhead gene. Ireland is second highest with approximately 10% having it and 40% carrying the gene.
The U.S. can boast (or not) anywhere from two to six percent of the population having red tresses. A seemingly insignificant figure, but with a massive population, this gives the good ol' USA the largest number of redheads in the world with 6 to 18 million. Compare that to 650,000 in Scotland and 420,000 in Ireland. Who's insignificant now? Read it and weep you redhead haters.
Red on the Head, Fire in the Bed
Red hair was thought to be a mark of a beastly sexual desire and moral degeneration. See? I told you it's not all bad. It is a common belief that redheads are highly sexed. Jonathon Swift satirized this redhead stereotype in Gulliver's Travels, part 4, A Voyage to the Country of the Houyhnhnms, when he wrote: "It is observed that the red-haired of both sexes are more libidinous and mischievous than the rest, whom yet they much exceed in strength and activity." As Austin Powers might say.. Oh, yeah, baby!
So do not despair you red heads. Brunettes may be smarter, blondes may have more fun, but none are wrapped so tightly in mystery and intrigue. Like a gift to be opened on a special day.

Don't like me? I don't care. Don't want to talk? I don't care. Think I'm a bitch? I am.
I don't put up with bullshit. I've experienced it too much in my young life to deal with it on a fucking website.
Delete me, de-fan me, do whatever the hell you want to do because it will not phase me in the least bit.
If I don't talk to you, it is because I do not want to. Get over it. There is no rule on Fubar that says I must talk to everyone who talks to me. Get real.
I am who I am and I will not change for any of you.
If you want to be my friend, a real friend - not just a number on your page - then OK, but don't be surprised if I tell you to fuck off if you treat me wrong.
For all those that I am just a number, I don't care, but don't try and pretend like it is anything more then that.
That is all. Fuckers.
I do not live my life according to horoscopes or astrology, but I do find it interesting and generally true. Sometimes when someone asks me to describe myself, I tell them I am a true Cancer. Read on if you want to know me.
Your element: Water
Your ruling planets: The Moon
Symbol: The Crab
Your stone: Moonstone
Life Pursuit: Constant reassurance and intimacy
Vibration: Moody
Cancer's Secret Desire: To feel safe (emotionally, spiritually, romantically and financially)
Those born under the sign of Cancer, ruled by the mysterious Moon, are one of the zodiac's enigmas. It is fair to say that most Cancers are a bundle of contradictions. Compassionate and caring with friends, family and lovers, yet they can cut to the bone with their jealous remarks and ever-changing moods. Endearingly eccentric on one hand, and on the other, insecure about how others see them. Like their astrological symbol - the Crab - Cancers can appear hard and insensitive on the outside. However, for those of us who know and love a "Moon Child", we understand that deep below lies a softness and sensitivity that makes them so very special...
Just as the Moon goes through many changes as it moves from its new to full phases, Cancers too go through many new and full phases of experience. Life doesn't stand still for this sign, even if they remain in one place, because they live so much in their internal oceans of emotions. Their link with the Moon often makes it impossible for them to operate on an even keel from day to day. Up and down like the proverbial yo-yo, most Cancerians feel one way one minute, then sometimes totally different the next. But this characteristic is part of their charm.
Love and romance matter more than anything else to this sign (but this occasionally shares first place with having lots of money in the bank). No other sign romances better, equally though, no sign takes it so badly when romance turns sour either. But with their changeable natures Cancerians are fascinating, mysterious, stimulating and extremely alluring. This sign is one of the most magic of all and once their magic has reached you, they are the most beguiling companions. After all, isn't the Moon the most talked about and romantic galactic identity?
Cancers are smart and savvy operators. They are caring and supportive, and are able to combine instincts with logic. They will pamper you, but require equal, if not more attention in return. They look for a deeper connection than body and mind - nothing less than their soul mate.
Cancer – Aries : Fast energy, quick minds, and inquisitiveness.
Cancer – Taurus : Common grounds give them a great connection.
Cancer – Gemini : These two have an abundance of info to share.
Cancer – Cancer : Thought transference - they don’t even need to talk.
Cancer – Leo : Cancers intuition, Leo’s imagination mold together.
Cancer – Virgo : Inquisitive natures are illuminating and harmonious.
Cancer – Libra : This is a romantic match providing love-lessons.
Cancer – Scorpio : Intense chemistry lock these two together.
Cancer – Sagittarius : Opposites can attract and compliment.
Cancer – Capricorn : Appreciate each other’s inner and outer worlds.
Cancer – Aquarius : They have a healthy respect for each other.
Cancer – Pisces : There’s an innate understanding beyond the physical.
Everytime a guy broke my heart, my mom would say to me "It's better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all". I didn't believe her until recently. I'm devastated about the end of my relationship, I really loved him. But at the same time, I wasn't happy with the way we were, and he doesn't want to try and see how we could be. At this point I don't either. He is too immature for me.
I'm lonely though. There's no one around to talk to now that he is gone, and my best friend is in Texas till next year.
School will help.
Life is simple, it's just not easy. - unknown
I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it. - Jack Handey
You fall out of your mother's womb, crawl across open country under fire, and drop into your grave. - Quentin Crisp
