imaginary friends

i used to have an imaginary friend named Gordy. Gordy was a cow and he was my friend for a few years. unfortunately the hamburger factory started looking for him and they eventually caught him in California. My friends and i will never forget him.

I had an imaginary friend called Silly Sally Stupid. She couldn't do anything right and I spent most of my time acknowledging this and proving that I was better than her at absolutely everything. The funny thing was, being a smart child, even then I was completely aware that Silly Sally Stupid's sole purpose was to boost my self esteem!

Claire

I was the only child, and when I was about 10 I believed I had a brother who lived in a parallel world. I wrote letters to him, and little stories about how we'd eventually run into each other (even though I had no idea how that could happen).

My 6-year-old sister is convinced that there's a frog in our sink overflow. (This isn't strictly a Used To Believe.) It's a girl frog called Charlie. I think my sis believes this because of the gurgling noise the sink makes when you pour water down the overflow. It doesn't even really sound like croaking...

Rachel

I once had an imaginary friend whom i named 'Almira'. Her skin was completely green, her hair was green and she wore a long green dress. One day on a particularly long car journey i had a nasty argument with her. It resulted in me pushing Almira out of the window, and her being crushed to death under the wheels of the car. For months afterwards i was racked wih guilt, and thought i would be locked up for murder!

The Doom Cat

Odd, But I still have imaginary friends (two of them) and I'm sixteen! Life's just more fun with Billy Joe & Jay and the odd looks we get when I tell that to people. Billy Joe come around to my school when I was in the 8th grade, near the end. He was friends with my best friend's imaginary friend, Bob. I even wrote an english paper on him and why people, even if they're older than seven, should have imaginary friends. Jay come at the beginning of 9th grade and is mute. Oo;;; He just stands in the corner most of the time while Billy Joe makes a fool of himself.

And the most suprisingly is none of my friends or family (besides my mom) think it's odd. *shrugs* Oh well.

I'm a twin and I would always fight with my sister and then we would both go off crying and sit on our own. When i was about 4 or 5 i got bored of sitting on my own and made up a friend called Big Gemma. She had multi coloured hair then was so long that she had to keep it rolled up in a toilet roll. She worked in the police force and circus. i would constantly talk to her aloud in public and ask her questions such as "what are we going to do today then?" Nobody knew who i was talking to and i got some really funny looks. No wonder i was a loner a school.

Little Gemma

Once,I Had a Cute lil' imaginary friend named Mr.Cheese! He was a kitten and he had little bitty ram horns! Whenever I did something wrong Mr. Cheese would take the blame!

Mr. Cheese

I had a friend named Herman. He was, looking back at him, a shapeshifter. He was a Casper-like ghost, or an invisible flea that rode on my shoulder, or a disembodied presence, or a voice in my head, or some combination of them stacked on each other, so they were all Herman at the same time. He was an adviser, and another point of view to consider. Sometimes he was just there, not doing or saying anything, just, I somehow knew, enjoying himself. One day, he didn't say anything, but instead was getting ready to go away. I got very mad, and told him to go ahead and go. He did, and did not look back. I was sad for a while, but I got over it.

I had an imaginary friend when I was younger. She was called Anniver. My mum has since told that I named her this becsue I had just learnt the word anniversary! Anniver looked like me, but had different coloured clothes to me! She would come everywhere with us, my mum would put the seatbelt round her in the car, just like she did me! But one day, mum forgot to hold the car door open for Anniver to get in! Sadly, Anniver was crushed in the door when my mum slammed it and died from her injuries! Recently I've thought that I could've kept her alive, as she was in my imagination, but I think it must've been time for me and Anniver to part ways and grow up seperately.

Lola

When I was little, I had an imaginary friend named Jordan. me and Jordan went everywhere together, but one day he ran out into the street and was hit by a car. He just lay in the street bleeding and calling for help. I ran and got my mom, and begged her to take Jordan to the hospital. But alas, she didn't listen to me. I ran back outside and dragged him from out of the street, and he died in my arms. I was grief-stricken for at least a week.

Cybela

When I was in second/third grade, I had a pet panther named Zia. Zia was blue with purple spots and told me stories, and we used to go on crazy adventures that tended to involve chocolate.
Anyway, she was my pet panther until High School. Yes, freshman year. Anyway, I walked home from school- meaning that everyone knew the best time to get me. Well, I pissed off a couple of boys, and I was walking home when they jumped me. I swear to god that someone saved my butt, and it was Zia. She vanished after that, though, and I haven't seen her since.

Just a note, most of our adventures occured while I was walking home. In those days I was a walking disaster, so...

Kimmy

When I was younger I would play this game in the bathroom where I would pretend I had a bunch of little mice, and I would set a hight for them, then put them in hard to escape spots. For example, maybe I would put one on top of the sink who was maybe only 2 inches tall, and then plan its whole escape route to the outside. It would use the dental floss, balance across the edge, or leap onto close objects, and always would make it safely down.

I had an imaginary friend when I was 4, and me and my imaginary friend came up with this great idea that we were gonna take my dad's truck and drive it to my aunt's house and try on all her clothes while she was sleeping I have no idea why..so I told my real friend jessie about this idea and she thought it was cool so on my 5th birthday I had a sleepover and she spent the night. We waited for my parents to go to sleep and then we climbed on a chair unlocked the top lock and went out and climbed in the back of my dad's truck then the alarm went off and they woke up and we got in trouble. Those damn imaginary friend's are such bad influences.

This is weird but when I was little my hands were kind of like friends to me (only sometimes) and when I washed my hands I pretended they were fighting over the soap. My left hand was a little boy and my right hand was an older girl. Sometimes I would play with my hands and pretend the right hand was a witch who tried to steal stuff from the left hand, it was weird.

I used to have an imaginary friend named April. She looked just like me and had the same name as me. As an only child, if someone did something wrong, my parents always knew I was the one who had done it, so I would say that "April" did it. At first, my protests led to confusion for my parents, thinking that I was suddenly referring to myself in the 3rd person, but they figured it out after a while and started punishing both "Aprils" when "we" would do something bad.

April

When I was a baby, my brother had an imaginary friend called Brenda Pineapple. Although sometimes, he would tell people that his name was Brenda Pineapple. Wehn I was about 4, he had changed to Johnny Boy, and since I didn't have any interest in having an imaginary friend, he decided to create one for me, and he would make up elaborate things that they would do. When we went places, he would say "Come on Johnny Boy!" and then he would nudge me and I would half-heartedly say "Come on Johnny Girl." The weirdest thing, is his daughter has a couple of imaginary friends, Milo is the main one and he is really bad. If something happens "Milo did it!"

Finnian's Aunt

When i was younger, i had 2 imaginary friends. One was Bobby, the other Joe. The weird thing? Joe was a girl. i told everyone that would listen about the adventures of Bobby and Joe. Soon, i decided they were in love. One dday, i was in the kitchen telling my mom about thier latest adventure, and i told mom that Bobby and Joe fell in love. My mom looked at me and said "Maybe Bobby likes someone else, honey. Bobby can't be in love with Joe. It's bad." I refused to talk to her for a week i was so outraged.
