Same here, right up to the tree-climbing (although I tended to get stuck and had to get the neighbor boy to climb up and get me now and again). I was cute as a little girl, all blue eyes and curly hair. (I hated the curls, though.) Then I hit puberty and BOOM. Greasy, pimply, and painfully insecure. I spent a lot of middle school hiding out in my room reading fantasy novels and eating Smarties because of that. I like me now, though.
