So I like to eavesdrop on people or spy on them. I’m very interested in what  people are talking about. Once my mom was talking on the phone.

                  Cancer- June 22nd-July 22nd

      Cancer’s good traits include emotional, loving, intuitive, shrewd, imaginative, cautious, protective and sympathetic.

      I feel that imaginative describes me best because I like to imagine things. I like to pretend I’m somewhere else although I’m really in my neighborhood. Sometimes when I have to write a story, I like to make up a mysterious setting where I could do whatever I want. Being imaginative helps me a lot because when I play games that you have to make up yourself, ideas just pop in my head! That way more fun would be put in the game. This is only my bright side. My dark side is well, you know, not so great!

            On my dark side, I feel that unable to let go describes me best. Once my mom decided to donate some clothes to charity including my old ones that I like the most. It’s not like I don’t like charity, but I am just attached to my clothes. I hate to give my belongings away, so I snuck and took my clothes back. I hid it in my closet and my mom still hasn’t found it! I know this is not good, but I couldn’t help it. It is one of my dark traits!
