imaginary friends

I was an only child with not a whole lot of friends, so to entertain myself I played with dolls. I mean really got into it. I even used to tape record myself playing with my cabbage patch kid, changing my voice to let "Violet" talk. When my mom got remarried, my step dad was ready to have me locked up. He was totally convinced that I must've had 2 or 3 other people in my bedroom at all times. It took my mom a long time to convince him it was just me playing with my dolls.

When i was little i used to have an imaginary bird name Bert but my mom was worried and she told me Bert had to migrate to disneyland so he could have fun with his other bird friends. (The rest of my childhood i wanted to go to disneyland to visit Bert)

Whe I was about three I used to have an imaginary friend named HaHoo.He was very scary looking and he wasn't very nice to me. He used to live in the basment and I would never want to go down there alone.When I was five my mom asked me where HaHoo was and I said that he moved away to England (my parents are from there), and later when we went to England my brothers were on a bus and as they were driving past, they were looking at a brick wall and saw written in graffiti HaHoo Lives! I can't explain it!

I used to believe that there were two evil people in my house who continually planted bombs to blow up my home. They would peek at me when I took a shower. If I washed in a particular fashion (e.g. shampoo, face, feet, left arm, stomach, shampoo again, etc.) the bomb would be diffused and I would spoil their plan once again. If I thought I did it wrong, I would stay in the shower extra long to redu the process until I got it right. The order would change everyday (except for special days when they would try to fool me and do the same order twice in a row). One of the guys was short, bozoo bald, and chubby, the other was a little dumber and taller and skinnier.

I got told that Beetle Juice lived in my stomach and when he was hungry he would yell and it would sound like a growl.It kept on until I was 6.

my oldest sister grew up with an imaginary friend named Danielle and when i was born my parents didnt know what to name me so my sister named me after her fake friend.

As a three or four year old only child with no friends nearby to talk to, I often spent my time telling my parents about Mr. Ghost. All I can remember about him is that he lived in the snow (I think this was to get them to take me to the snow), and that he ate people. I think I remember telling my dad that he used the snow to whipe the blood off his face. And somehow, I'd become friends with him when he took a vacation from the snow.

A few years later, I decided that I had an imaginary unicorn named Melina. She was the unicorn goddess, and she kept me entertained. I think I managed to convince one or two people that marshmellows were made of unicorns, so they should stop eating them. I'm a fairly normal teenager, it turns out.

I had an imaginary purple cat named Unicorn. But my parents started asking me all the time "where is unicorn? what is unicorn doing?" So I locked it in the shed and told everyone that Unicorn died of starvation.

My older sister had a friend with the last name Bower. My younger sister who was maybe 4 or 5 at the time wanted a friend too, and she didn't have many,so she invented one. She called the friend her "bower" and got great enjoyment out of playing with her much to the delight of the rest of us who got much enjoyment laughing about it. We still do to this day, over 30 years later, ask her about her "bower".

you know who

I used to love the TV show "Punky Brewster" and I wanted a dog exactly like Punky's, the golden retreiver. Well, I was at the age where children start developing invisible friends and such. ...Well, my imaginary friend happened to have been a dog named "Brandon". He was exactly like the dog on Punky Brewster, except he was all white and he could talk. He went to preschool with me, slept in the same bed as me, and even ran beside us while we were driving in a car (on the freeway?). Mind you, no one knew this imaginary friend/dog existed except myself. Sooo, one day, my mother was getting ready to sit down on the couch and I started screaming. Crying hysterically, and she was like "WHAT?>!?! WHAT?!?!" and I go, "YOU'RE GONNA SIT ON BRANDON!!!!!!!!" ...she looked at the couch, looked back at me and goes, "Oh, sorry, I didn't see 'Brandon' sitting there......" and she sat down at the other end of the couch. I don't think she has thought I was very "sane" since that day...

When I was little I had loads of imaginary friends, but my sister had twins with totally made-up names! They were called Mefron and Tee-tee. When I was a baby I always wanted to play with the remote, but my sister never let me because she wanted her imaginary friends to play with it instead, and would sit there for hours waiting for them to change the channel!!!!!

I was a very lonely little girl when I was 5 years old and lived on Toronto Island at Hanlan's Point. I wished real hard for some new friends, my age, to play with when we all went to the beach, a few hundred yards from our house. An old man came and said here is 2 friends for you to play with. They will grow as you grow. They will stay with you as long as you don't tell anyone their names. Well, I was so happy. I would build things in the sand and they would too. I used to talk to them and my mother would pester me and asked who I was talking with. I finally told mom who they were. Dingus and Tardar. They went away and never came back. My 5 yr. old cousin saw them too. He let me know that after we became age 60. He told me the old man's name was Pookie. True story.

Back when I was 8 or 9 years old,I used to watch this Anime called Megaman
(or Rockman in Japan).

There were those 2 cute Japanese
Keroppi eyed robots named Eddie and Met.

They had flip-tops that a robotic hand would come out.I used to believe that Eddie and Met would tickle me.I used to say I want Eddie to tickle me!!!!!.

So one day in pottery class I made this Met figure I used to carry around in my old skool Hello Kitty tin box everywhere I went....grandma's house,shopping...i mean everywhere.

So my younger brother used to pretend that Met would tickle me and put the figure on my back and rub it against me.

Eddie and Met were one of my childhood friends I would take everywhere......
and still do even though I'm 20.LOL!.

When I was little, I used to think that I had a man inside my head that would file my memories and sort out my dreams; chosing what I would dream and what happened during the day! He had a little pinstripe outfit and a purple tie. He seemed really real! It was ages before I believed my Mum that it was imaginary!

whenever i was little, i had an imaginary turtle that i made my mom kiss everynite before i went to bed. i also had an imaginary friend named "Chelsea" and one time at a very nice restaurant, the waitress came over and asked it she could take the extra chair, there were 4, only 3 of us. well right in the middle of the restaurant, i started crying 'no no! Chelsea is sitting there!' the waitress apologized and apologized until my mother explained that Chelsea was my imaginary friend. Needless to say, Chelsea no long traveled with us to restaurant anymore!

When I first watched the Ghostbusters film, I used to believe that Ghostbusters were my imaginary friends. I would talk to them and consult with them about doing things and I would always ask them for advice. Even to this day, now that I am 15 years of age, I still talk to my Ghostbuster pals!!

When I was little I used to keep imaginary chickens in the bottom drawer of my bedroom cupboard. Every day I would shut the door, open the drawer, let the chickens out and feed them. One day my dad came into the room and all the chickens escaped. I was devastated as they were all eaten by my imaginary dog, Sandy.
