Personality Analysis

Here we go on my subjective / objective look at myself at 16, from that teenager’s perspective:

November 2, 1969 – Dear Cassandra

Today I’m going to tell you my freaks and oddities, hopes and fears, hates and loves.

I’ve been called all sorts of names, Dandelion, Pancake, Snow, Bookworm, Smiley and Spider legs.  Of course, Pigtails because I used to always wear them, Cliff hunt gave me that one and it kinda stuck with my Burlington friends.  My favorite was Big Susan because Susan Rolston was Little Susan and she still calls me that.  (NOTE:  My Grade 6 teacher, Mr. Axon, was very amused to see Little Susan’s Valentine’s Day card on my desk with “Big Susan” written across the envelope).

I guess most people think I’m queer because I read so much.  Yesterday I bought “Far from the Madding Crowd” at Eaton’s.  In 3 weeks Jeanette and I are going, by ourselves to buy Christmas Presents.

I have three favorite months, in order; June, because it’s my birthday month and we get out of school; December because its Christmas and we have holidays; and November because that’s when all the fun starts, you know most of the school kids and clown around, ambitions are fired, Christmas is near and snow comes.  I love beef, especially roast beef and steak. I love candy (natch!)  I love T.V.  I love swimming, skating, scrub and badminton.  I love reading and baking.   I hate snobs, snakes and Cream of Wheat (yuck!)

My phobia is that I will die at night.  Sometimes I can’t sleep for fear of dying. My pet fear is snakes, as you may have noticed.  After Jeanette stuck a dead one in my face and I fell off the patio and nearly killed myself I stay as far away from them as possible.

My hope is that I will get everybody something lovely for Christmas and that I will keep my New Year’s Resolutions.

Au Revoir m’amie.

NOTE:  Actually kind of a sweet list, if a little funny.
