When I was a kid, I had a lot of different imaginary friends.
One was sorta like a million little people who where half an inch tall who would follow me around. Why a million? I think it was because whenever I asked them a problem, I would get an answer from the personality I wanted to hear from.
After that stage, I just started taking my favorite fictional characters. Whenever I saw a fictional character I liked, I would just add him/her on. And whenever I got bored with one, I just "sent them back home".
Even to this day, I can't help but do it a few times (I'm currently obsessed with this Anime and there's this really cute detective ; ) Hey, it's my life!)
