Ouch, well-intentioned questions that get on your nerves. I feel like I know exactly what that was like, except that I can't lay my finger on what it was in my case. I suspect what I really had in mind was everyone's total shock at my being able to function without a TV. Which kind of made me go the exact same knee-jerk way of thinking "of course I can, I never ever want to have a TV, just to prove you wrong." (I guess the contemporary equivalent would be having no computer and no internet, which, sadly, I really can't function without.)

I did have a horse phase, and I did have a princess phase, but very soon stumbled on the practical problem of "I would have to be a lost princess, and there are only so many countries I could be a lost princess of." So I kind of dreamed about being a lost princess for a while (in a sort of Princess Diaries way, before there was Princess Diaries?), and then decided it was boring and unrealistic or something. And anyway, it was completely overshadowed by the preceding Slavic-fairy-slash-Narnian-Naiad-or-Dryad phase, and the following maker-of-things-and-dreamer-of-worlds phase, which, to be honest, hasn't left me yet and has been with me since my earliest memories as well.
