You know those little fuzzy pompom things used for arts and crafts? I used to talk to them. I was also quite convinced they produced pudding...

I use to believe that I had miniature people that lived n my pocket (affectionately called pocket people). I always thought their favorite thing to do was look out the car window while we were driving.

i never had imaginary friends, but i had a menagrie of imaginary pets. i also used to imagine that i was a centaur while walking to school and that my lower half was always some wild breed of horse.

When I was about 6 or 7, I had an imaginary friend, who left for ice-cream one night. He never returned.

His name was Jimmy

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.

Danielle

My favorite animal is the tiger. When I was younger (kindergarden-3rd grade), I had a family of imaginary Bengal tiger friends. They all had names and a unique personality. My favorite was a female named Tiger who could kill anybody and run faster than a cheetah. My teacher was concerned about my playing alone during recess and asked me if I was ok. I told her yes, I was just playing with my tiger family. You can imagine the look I got.

Tiger Lady

I used to pretend that I was Supergirl. And that I had a best friend named Thiri.

There was a local realtor named TIRI. So every time that in the classifieds a house for sale had TIRI on top, I would wonder how in the world did they found out about my secret friend Thiri?

Now I have a gamut of characters inside my mind with crazier personalities and life histories.

I beileved thst Mary-Kate and Ashley (Olsen) were my imaginary friends. They would follow me around whenever I wanted them too. Sometimes I would get mad at them I would "kill them" by pushing them off buildings. They I would call the adoption agency where I got them and have them photocopy 'imaginary twin sisters" again for me.

When I was little I had an immaginary friend named Brian. He was a foot tall and on the bus to school we would drink tea and eat crumpets(even tho I didn't know what they were) and he would wear assorted fancy hats.

When I was four I had three imaginary friends. One was named "Betty the Girl", and the other two were boys but I always pictured them as Laurel and Hardy. Betty the Girl lived in the crab apple tree in my back yard, and the only time she would come out of the tree is when I played my Muppets album full blast. Usually one or all of them would get into an argument about which song to listen to...All the while my parents would listen and laugh.

I had two imaginary friends, one called Giant and one called Spider (who may or may not have gone on to be a environmental protester in Coronation Street, we lost touch). Giant and Spider used to travel everywhere with us and I would make sure my family left room for them in the car. Many a time I would shout at unsuspecting aunts and uncles when they sat in what they mistakenly thought was an empty seat only to be told that they were squashing my friends.

My younger brother had an invisible friend called "Bungbing" (Because it kept "coming" to see him but he couldn't say coming) I got jealous of him always having some one to play with so I made up my own, a cat called Scratch. I convinced my brother that we ought to swap for a day and he never saw Bungbing again! Apparently he was cross at my brother for swapping him for an invisible friend that never even existed!

Halaboo

When my older sister was younger she had this imaginary friend that lived i her fist. I cant remember his name it was something weird though, like nallywag i think, anyways, one day he got married and there wasnt enough room in her fist anymore so they moved into the electrical socket. She always used to sit and look into the socket and talk to them. She did that untill we moved out.

Sunday mornings me and my brother and sister always used to climb into bed with my mum and dad. Here, they introduced us to matress man. Matress man lived at the end of the bed and always used to bob his head up and down. Funnily enough it was right where my dad's foot was...and he spoke in the same voice as my dad. Then one day they got a new matress and dad told me that the new one did not have a matress man. How gullible was I?

i was an only child and my mom worked long hours so i wanted a pet to play with but she was alergic. She gave me a rock and told me she had a pet rock growing up and i could too. I thought that if i believed hard enough my pet rock would be real.He was happy when i was sad when i was and kept my secrets. he also liked to watch tv with me. that was his favorite thing. Best friend I ever had!

My dad used to point out the reflection of his watch face(only I didn't know it was his watch face) on the ceiling and the walls and I thought it was my imaginary friend, a whale named Jeremiah. And when my parents made me mad, I'd say, "I'll tell Jeremiah on you and he'll come and get you!!!!"

Hope

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!

My brother had an imaginary friend named Rogney until he was about 10. When he desided to not play with Rogney anymore, we had a going away party (my brother, sister, and I) and at the end of the party we opened the closet door and waved goodbye to Rogney, as the closet was the entrance to "Imaginaryland", where Rogney lived.

Lydia

When I was a kid I had several vivid imaginary friends. One of my favorites was Star, a silver cat with a very long tail who lived in the stars where she would watch over me but would come down whenever I called her with this star necklace I had. I had her for about 2 years but then she had to return to the stars forever.....
