I dreamed about drinking a magic potion that would let me talk to cats.
I wanted to see read books and see films about girls who fought back, and climbed trees and ran their our houses (but not in a soppy way like Wendy).
I wanted to live in a world of Children on the Oregon Trail, The Children of the New Forest and Swallows and Amazons.

So I'm not just pretending to be an outsider - I was from a very young age.
But at the very least I was spared the Disney Princess, Princess Diana heartbreak.

I'd rather be the witch, too. That's not to say that I didn't dream a princess dream - or, rather, bought into the princess image. I guess I wanted to be a wicked princess so that makes me a witch in some respects. I used to have day dreams about a black and white cottage in the woods, just me and the cats, and to hell with the rest of the world. though I do like a princess-y thing or two...rings and slippers and lengths of silk.
