The "Light" Thing

I have a problem with sunlight. Now most people assume that it's just me being weird and that I'm pretending to be a vampire or something but it's not (I may end up pontificating about vampires in another post but the sunlight thing is unrelated.) Now when I say I have a problem with sunlight I don't just mean that I burn easily. That goes without saying; I'm pale skinned and red haired and I burn really really easily. And I don't just mean that, being a geek, I don't see sunlight that often, because I get outside more than you'd think. No, I just mean that the sun itself seems to be out to get me and in a very confusing way.

It's my eyes that have the problem; I just cannot focus my vision while I'm in sunlight. It's alright when I'm not trying to do it, but as soon as I try to keep my eyes open or look at something specific and there is sunlight in that general direction (or even just around) then bamn! I can't look, can barely see, start crying, you name it it happens to me. The really odd thing is that the one exception to this rule is the sun itself. "Don't stare at the sun" people say but the sun is the one thing I can stare at.

But maybe I'm just weird. Yes, that seems likely
