I talk to inanimate objects ... all the time. Mostly computers ... although I hope they can't hear me because I'm not always that nice to them.

I'm also a firm believer in the theory that random objects DO move as soon as you turn your back just to make it harder to find them, so when I put down something I want to find in the near future, I generally tell it to 'stay'. I'm not sure why :)

well, I hit my keyboard and bang my monitor around when I'm mad. sometimes I think I hear it moan and feel horribly bad and I tell it, "don't look at me like that you piece of crap [uhh sometimes I use worse explicit language but ya get the point]!!! I HATE YOU!!" I always say that. teri was the one who used to kiss it and stuff. she was odd. she used to hump the tv when she was excercising too. I don't get that.

I agree raven, sometimes I do think objects move. I remember when I was little after watching that retched child's play movie, I thought my doll's eyes were moving and staring at me. it freaked me out!! I was scared of chucky for awhile.

I'm not sure of other things. I mean, I lick my lollipop seductively sometimes, but err I bet everyone's done that.

okay, I think I revealed too much. now I'm scared of dolls and do erotic things to lollipops. ick!
