Why Chicks Cry*

[Sundae]

I've never wanted to be a Princess - excepting Princess Leia.
I never dreamed about my wedding day.
I became dissatisfied with Disney when the cartoons didn't tell the same gruesome stories that Dad read me.

I wanted to be a witch.
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.
