When I was little I had a rabbit… his name was Rabbit, when I was little I also had an imaginary friend… his name was January. I still have my Rabbit but I don’t need January so much anymore.
Although he sort of came back when I started this blog... I kind of imagined myself typing these words to him, it made it easier somehow having someone in mind to be 'talking' to.
I don't remember much about January but I do know he always wore black and I know he was a him. My mother, who also had imaginary friends when she was little, said she thought January came while I was waiting for my brother, who was two years younger than me, to get interesting. I could say something nasty like January is around even now because I am still waiting for my brother to become interesting... but that would be very unkind so I wont do that because he is a good brother.
So this next series of works are going to be about friends, imaginary and otherwise... and it is funny, last weekend I watched Donnie Darko.

Love this post!!
I would of loved to of had an imaginary friend when I was little, I spent a lot of time being scared of things that weren't there, I thought I had a vampire living in my wardrobe at one time and I was too scared to put my arm out and switch my bedside light on at night in case he was there, but the even siller thing is I couldn't sleep with the light on, it had to be pitch black in my room or I wouldn't sleep at all, I must of scared myself to sleep every night for years!!

That is the coolest name for an imaginary friend. Some people think they are actually your guardian angel; kids can see these things because they haven't become skeptical grown ups yet. So if that's true January will still be around. That's nice isn't it. :) x
How cool! :) I never had an imaginary friend but always wanted one. :)) Ever since I saw that movie Drop dead Fred. :))
I left an award for you on my blog. Come check it out. :)

I had an imaginary friend growing up....her name was Belinda and she was oriental. I was obsessed with being "Chinese". I would slant my eyes and ask my mother in my most Mississippi twang "What would I look if I was Chinese like Belinda?" I am a psychiatric nurse now...maybe I was a little crazy even back then!! Love your rabbit!!

I LOVE those two! ♥♥
Anna used to have an imaginary friend named Jaque that we had to put out the front door every evening so she would sleep.
Love your post! My 8 year old started having an imaginary friend named, Louie when he was 2 and even though Louie does not visit much he still makes unexpected visits and is always welcome!
