Did you have an imaginary friend as a child?

[Snuggletummy]

I'm being dead serious about this topic. For me, and you'll all laugh, when I was little I did have one, and it was Sailor Moon.

[Pheidippides]

Don't feel bad; mine was a Pokemon. -_-

[SkyPanda]

Er no. But I did have a very active imagination

[Pixon]

Well, I would pretend that my feet were real people, and the right foot would occasionally attack the left foot.

[unoriginal name]

After the first family cat died, I would pretend that he was traveling all around the country. Like, I'd get out atlases and draw a line with my finger over the roads to show my parents where he was going. Apparently he could drive.

That's cute.



I, sadly, did not have one. I was too busy playing my -new- SNES and GameBoy Pocket. :D

[t̷s͢uk̕a͡t͜ư]

>_>
Yeah. Robin Hood.
Well... Robin Hood minus all ideology and with extra emphasis on shooting shit up with a compound bow.
Mostly he'd hop along the cars alongside mine on roadtrips, or ride on the roof of mine if there were none around. Y'know, while shooting things.

Seeing all the kids with imaginary friends in American movies I'd say it's very common.
However, I've never had one, nor do I know some kid that did.

[sheganican]

I was Buzz Lightyear one time. I still have the scar on my forhead to prove it.

So this is how people in other countries learn about America.

I didn't have an imaginary friend, but I would tie a lanyard around my head, put on a cape, go outside, and whack at trees that were actually shadow demons from another dimension with a discarded curtain rod.

[yungerkid]

I still do have an imaginary friend of a sort. I have changed the physical model I use for it over the years, but essentially it's just a person that I imagine is accompanying me wherever I go. I talk to it, and it talks to me, and we discuss things.

[otters~1]

Mine was closer to yk's, I guess. It varied according to whatever I was into at the time.

[Ampersand]

No. I'm *NORMAL*.

[otters~1]

No. I'm *NORMAL*.

Psh. You haven't really lived, you mean. Get out of denial, fuel your imagination, and spend some entertaining minutes with penguins.

[Ngaged]

I actually did not have an imaginary friend. I was a creative child too...but even so, I didn't find the need for an imaginary friend. I did, however, enact imaginary role-plays with my real friends, using sticks as swords and whatnot. XD

[Rose]

Nah, I never had one. I never really needed one, I guess; when I was young, I had tons of friends, and as I grew older, I became more solitary and introverted so I didn't want to talk even with an imaginary friend XD

[squibbles]

I dunno...I had people to converse with who didn't exist, but the never had a body, or form. Actually, a couple of them still show up every now and then for a chat. That's kinda weird now that I think about it. I talk to voices in my head. O_O

[Ampersand]

I don't need imagination, I have *BEER* and *FRIENDS*.

[McP]

no im not an idiot

Huh. Me too.

As a child I had 100 invincible, intelligent mice, 2 Golden Eagles and some other assorted invernerable animals.

[Donfuy]

I did have for some moments. For those when I didn't have nothing to do, like when I was at the toilet and there was no magazines. It was a tiny little animal, probably a mouse. Probably.



It didn't have a name.


And I still have that "conscience voice" that sometimes I talk to (basically, it's talking myself).
To me, that's the best concept of god I can imagine (explained in another way: if there's a god, that's god to me).

Yeah, weird.

[Fraxtil]

My imaginary friend was a superhero. Oddly, today I have absolutely no fascination with superheroes.

I don't need imagination, I have *BEER* and *FRIENDS*.

And I have *PENGUINS*.

EDIT: Interesting thought, Donfuy.

Yes, but not really a "friend," but more of a character. Sort of like an ongoing movie that was played out around me, via imagination. He would go around on sort of a flying surfboard thing and collect these little gem-type deals that he put in a necklace. Each one gave him a different power to defeat whoever needed to be defeated. There was a whole storyline to it, with origins, family, betrayal, redemption, and a whole lot of people around me looking at that strange little boy making all of the "wooshing" noises. 'Twas epic.
