make-believe

I had an imaginary evil friend named Jenny. She only seemed to visit me in the bathroom. Hmmm..perhaps the name came from the girl who bit me in preschool..

After watching MIB and seeing some little white thing in a man's, who was really an alien, ear, I saw a white hair in my dads ear and wondered if he was an alien.

I used to think that, for every real friend you made, another invisible (not imaginary) friend would become yours. For that reason, my invisible friends were always named after my real friends.

I used to see my Christmas presents from Santa before Christmas in my mom's closet, and I knew that all the store Santas didn't really look alike. I thought that Santa collected info from the store Santas, my mom and dad bought the things they knew I'd want, Santa would reimburse my parents, and he would place the presents under the tree.

When I was little I believed that my mom was controlled by aliens... But! only when she was sleeping, because when she woke up she made noises like in some alien language "benistein, mihme, duddaho, balkebla, dunstenan" really odd vocabulary. She says more than that, but those are the main words she says. The reason I remember is because she still mumbles when she wakes up...

On a trip to the mountains, my uncle told me and my cousins that the sign, "Watch out for Falling Rock" meant that the ghost of the evil Indian chief, Falling Rock, was loose and that we had to watch out for him because he liked to murder kids. I avoided the mountains for years.

When I was about 4 or 5 years old my two older brothers would have me sit on the couch and close my eyes. It was only then that the couch would magically begin to fly and take me all over the neighborhood. My brothers would say "Look! There's your friend! Ooh, there's the park!" I couldn't open my eyes until we were back in the living room. I think it's cute the way they took time to entertain me like that. If only couches could really fly...

I had a lot of imaginary friends, but the one that stuck round the longest and bonded with me the most was Ellis. Ellis looked like a regular boy, but without a nose, and he had fewer teeth than normal (but they were bigger). HE lived in the oak tree outside our house, which was close enough to the house so that i could reach my hand out and touch some of the leaves. Ellis would climb (he was really good at that) through the window sometimes and we would eat shortbread. I knew that i couldn't get to his home in the tree, but i HAD to send him messages somehow. (We were best friends after all. ) At some point, I found a stash of those plastic Easter eggs that come apart, and i would stuff them with bits of food and paper and throw them at a tree. Ellis and I said goodbye to eachother when I explained it all to my parents and they were a little concerned. ( I was about 8.) They told me he was moving away (for some reason I assumed it was to Cornwall). I've been to cornwall, but never been able to find a guy there with no nose.......

I beleived that I had some elves in the backyard thatvisited my sandbox. I would bring them food, clothing, fabric peices and build sand castles for them. They lived beyond a hole in our wooden fence in a dark wooded area in a large hole in the trunk of a tree. i drew pictures of their under the tree homes and came up with lots of ideas for what they were doing and how they survived. And I never saw them , but talked to them all the time. =)

When I was about 7 years old, it was late at night and my mom told me about vampires. She told me that if I wasn't in bed and asleep by 12 midnight that they would come and bite my neck and take me away.

I don't believe about the coming at midnight anymore, as I'm older now and have stayed up past midnight. But I'm still scared of them.

I *have* seen ghosts. I'm not lying. But when I was two, I saw the shadow of my cat (who has...spiky hair). I thought it was a ghost, and I thought I had to make the ghost happy. So I got a piece of lunch meat, a pillow, and even tried to make a bed for it out of Tinkertoys.

Imagine my suprise when I saw the cat sleeping on the pillow in the morning. xP

Whe i was about two or three i began to get visits from a little boy called Kim. My mum had to leave to car door open for him to get in and all stuff like that. I was an only child. I saw him and spoke to him and to this day i do believe that i didnt just make him up in my head. I believe he was there. I had never met him before and i didnt sit down and make him up he just appeared. I was nice though he was never nasty or anything. Then one day i reamember him being there in my bedroom and talking to him and that was the last time i saw him.

When my best friend and I were in about sixth grade we loved to climb trees. There was one tree that had a family of wild and mean mongoose (mongeese?) living at the base. My friend and I would have to climb as high as we could to get away from them. Our mongeese were eight feet tall and had razor sharp teeth. :D I think we finally got over this in about the eighth grade. I still think of eight feet tall creatures with razor sharp teeth whenever i hear the word mongoose though. ^_^

I use to have an imaginary friend who I believe dared me to do crazy stuff like eat Coco Puffs off the floor and pee in the trash.

Because my step mother's birthday was on Halloween, I thought she was a witch. I always wanted to be with my dad on Halloween because I wanted to see her turn into a black cat.
