A childhood belief about imaginary friends

When I was about 7, I had an imaginary friend: A red lizard demon named Alex. She carried a baseball bat with her everywhere and could hack computers. I stuck with this one for about five years.

Then I went through a phase where I tried to convince everyone that I could see dead people. I had three "ghost friends"... Conrad, Sophie and Jason (the last of whom was Jason Todd from Batman). Conrad was a showoff and always wore a top hat, Sophie was a hotheaded tomboy and Jason was timid and had a crush on me. I abandoned them after a real friend of mine died. I don't remember why.

Now I have an imaginary twin brother named Blake. I pretty much designed him as the male version of me. We don't talk in public or anything, he's just an internet thing. Sometimes I have him questioning my sanity...
