People often associate redheads with inexplicable fits of rage or outbursts of fiery fury. I’m not gonna lie I am asked, rather frequently, if I have a temper. The answer is yes, yes I do and I’ll be the first to admit it.
Now, I’m not sure exactly if the red hair is nature’s way of providing a warning label to the innocent or if the hair is the physical manifest of the inherent boiling core; but it’s true, I am a firecracker in both appearance and temperament. Embracing true red-headedness means you have to appreciate the explosive nature of our character and as a breathing testament to this surprisingly accurate stereo type I do my best to live up to the ever growing expectations. I've learned to cut down my reaction time to record breaking levels which allows me to provide an optimal range of both irrational and humorous tirades at the slightest provocation.
Most of my close friends have learned to gage the ‘redbomb’ temperatures and once this skill is mastered it's rather easy maintain a safety zone in which everyone can enjoy an environment of light giggles and playful banter. TIP: the eyes are a thermometer to the soul - you can always tell how hot the core is by how fast the eyes are flashing flecks of fire. Unfortunately if you are close enough to obtain an accurate reading... you're in the danger zone.
Some say my firecracker personality is precious at a distance and others are truly terrified. Truthfully you don't need to be afraid of me you just need to put on some flame retardant gear.

go Red -- i say get it out when you need to. as a blonde, with a slightly explosive temperament myself, i think it is only healthy.
Yes, you'd be a firecracker. Maybe that's why we get along...even though I'm not a red head.
