make-believe

I used to believe…

At the mall in my hometown, there were occasionally doors along blank walls and someone told me that monsters lived behind them, and that if you stayed in the mall until after dark, the monsters would come out and accuse you of shoplifting so they could have an excuse to eat you.

I had two imaginary friends. One of them was half-real because he was a stuffed animal. A calico cat. The people who manafactured him named him "Chip" but I liked to call him Bennifer (a boy version of the name Jennifer). The other was a round green cute alien with big eyes and feathers named Green Snitch (because he resembled the Golden Snitch from Harry Potter.) My parents never knew I had them because I thought them in my head. I always pretended they would take me to Green Snitch's home planet called Technaria, where the buildings were all like hovering circles. Since my parents never knew, they never told me to grow up. I had them for years.

My third creation was a bad guy and not an imaginary friend. I gave my friends special powers to defeat the bad guy. He was a penguin named Brainy-Beaks III. He terrorized Technaria and kidnapped Green Snitch, turned him into chocolate and almost ate him, if it wasn't for Bennifer's lasers!

I thought that you could never lay on the opposite side of your bed (feet where head go and head where feet go) because I believe that there was a Alligator that wore a purple jacket and carried a brief case walked down my driveway, and then came into my room and bit my head off. Sad, I know

I used to believe in Santa but on night i was looking for something in my moms room and found a lot of toys.
Then my mom came in and said they were for our relatives. It was a very bad coverup. Latter that night she told me Santa was not real

I used to believe…

when i was in junior school i beleived that if i thought hard enough that the school stage would lift up and the osmonds would be there singing and this was during assembly.

I used to believe…

When I was a little girl we did not have a chimney therefore my parents told my brother and I that Santa had to use his magic dust to open the door because we could not leave it unlocked. I actually believed that and now my children believe the same thing!!!

I used to believe…

When my brother was 3 he had 3 imaginary friends,Jimmy,Jonie,and Steabo. Where ever we went his "friends" would come with us and they would have sleepovers. Now my brother is four and he has 15. One day he told me that Jimmy died so I played along and gave him a new one and then all of his friends died and I told him that I had no more people and he cried and cried and finally I told him I found some.

I used to believe…

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!!!!"

I used to believe…

When i was Younger, i was very very scared of death. I slept in an attic room and beside my bed was this awful 80s chrone and faux leather chair..as i was tucked in every night i would lie looking at the shiny chrome leg of the chair..and somehow in it i used to see a black figure in my door way.. which i fully belived was Death watching me. it took me a year to realise this wasnt infact the spectre of Death, but the reflection of the black leather seat above.

I used to believe…

When i was younger(6 i think) i was very paranoid about my mortality and i had watched x-files and the film 'Fire in the Sky' too many times. My bed was beneath a skylight and on a full moon i used to sleep down beside my bed on the floor. because i thought that the light beam might be the aliens, coming to beam me through my skilight.

I used to have an imaginary friend, HE was a mouse, called... well mouse (Yes very imaginative, I know). I could only talk to me, I could only talk to him. The best part was on holiday in sapin once, on the beach... I had recently found out that 'Babys come form a mummys tummy'... Thats alll i had found out though, not into how it gets there... Anyways, back to Mouse, I was walking on the bach with my dad and i suddenly came out with "Dad, I have got sometbing to tell you, mousys pregnant, he's got a baby grwoing inside his tummy". Considering it was a HE this was wierd...

I also used to belive my stuffed toys were alive and they could talk to me...

I used to believe…

When I was little, I used to go up in the 3rd floor, just under the door (in the ceiling) to our attic. I used to sit very long next to the ladder, and talk to my imaginary friend up there. I only remember her being a 'she' like me, and she had some weird imagined name (like all of my stuffed animals!) - and she was the best ^^ can't remember when I stopped believing in her though.

I used to believe that fireworks were aliens in a galactic war, blowing eachother up. I never could understand for the life of me, why we would watch such carnage with awe?

I used to have an imaginary friend named Chickity. I have absoulutely no idea how i came up with this name, I just knew she was very pretty. she had thin blonde hair (as opposed to my thick brown hair..), and i used to pretend that we had a tree house where we would hang out.

I used to believe…

till i turned 12 i thought that an evil scarecrow followed me around every where i went but when i tried to find him he would just hide behind and under things. i also believed that he couldnt be in any type of light, so i had many different types of night lights till i got over this.

I used to believe…

After seeing the movie, "Little Shop of Horrors" I named every plant in the house "Audry Two." I believed that plants really DID like blood, so every time I got a cut, I would let the blood drip onto our dying Basil plant. Eventually the plant died.
( I also wouldn't go to the dentist for a while...)
