Poll: Did you have an imaginary friend?

I didn't (don't) do imaginary. My friends were of the inanimate nature and quite wonderful.

You do inanimate nature? Whoa, TMI...

*ducks* *runs...*

-- Pauley ;)

me too! inanimate friends were grand!

whenever my mother took us to the department store, i'd wander off & talk to the mannequins.

I never had an imaginary friend exactly of the sort I think this poll means.

Instead I had lots of imaginary mice. They lived inside me - like I was a hollow robot and they made me work almost like a puppet. Only I still made all the decisions. It was complicated, and I'm only getting more embarassed trying to explain myself.

*isn't even going to go into talking to an imaginary television audience*

I'm gonna go hide now.

...SOMEONE had to play with me!!!

I didn't so much have an imaginary friend as I just had a vivid imagination that�allowed me to play pretend with any number of other people if needed. Kinda like a holodeck...�

Well actually I was somebody else's imaginary friend.

I didn't have an imaginary friend, but my family thought so until they figured out I had just named my feet.

I gave my nephew an imagninary friend when he was four or five. I made up a story with a friendly monster named Fred that lived in his pocket. He played with Fred for a long time after that. My sister didn't find out that I was the source till this year.

Now this got ripped off twice by people who must have learned about it with their mind reading devices. Pokemon stole my idea of monsters that you keep in your pocket.

There was a film "Drop Dead Fred" about an imaginary friend. Did anyone else see it? I thought it was great, the reviewers didn't agree.

i had two of them. i don't remember all the details too well personally, but my mother said i used to describe them in great detail...

which is funny, because now most of my friends think i'm imaginary. :D

contrary to popular belief, i am not.

SUPPLIES!!

Thats what all the imaginary friends say.

I miss my imaginary friend norg.

When I was a kid, about 3 or 4, I had an imaginary Pen Pal. His name was Uncle Alligator, and he lived in a brick swamp in Okefenokee Swamp. He sent me post cards and my parents would read them to me. Obviously my parents were the ones sending me the post cards....Well they actually sneaked it in with the mail. But we wrote each other for about a year. But you know how most pen pals are, you kinda just grow apart....I wonder what he is up to....

he says he's the arm wrestling champion in outer Mongolia now! 5 years running.

I had an mean invisible friend when i was little who beat up everyone else's invisible friends and took their lunch money. Seriously. It was a nice little set-up. My invisible pal stuck for most of a year. Then we got in an arguement and I never saw my invisible friend again.

Mine were always secret and always�fictional characters/historical figures.�

Some�of the most notable were Mungojerrie from the musical Cats, Han Solo and Anne Frank.

I was a very, very strange child.

So, was Rumpleteaser jealous, or was that you? :P

*glances around nervously*

*pleads the fifth*

i named all my stuffed cats after the musical. i had a Pound Purrie�who was grey with darker grey stripes named Grizabella. i had a fat fluffy white cat named old deuteronomy. my tiny black cat with pink collar was mr. Mistoffelees. i had more, like jennyanydots, bustopher jones,�macavety, etc, but i dont remember what they looked like :P

i also used to make up dance routines to the soundtrack that usually involved my sister's baton *facepalm*

I used to make up dances, too.

That, and Les Mis. I'd choreograph stuff for my invisible cast.

Hey, more imaginary friends.

Oh no. You named my two favorite musicals from my younger years. {g}

Actually, Les Mis is still my big favorite.

if inanimate friends count as imaginary then i have dozens to this day.
