When I was about 6 years, or there about, I was out of the class for a while, can't remember why.
Anyway, near the cloak rook, there was this huge mirror. I stood and looked, hating what I was seeing. So, I tried to mentally cancel out every bit I didn't like, until I liked what I saw.
Eventually I was standing there, looking and trying to maintain my illusions.
Eventually, I imaginined a guy coming up to me asking, 'Hello young lady, what's your name?'
I just said it. I don't know where it came from, but it felt and has always felt, just right.
