A Confession (but not really)

...because it's not so much of a secret as it is just not having been brought up very frequently.

I confess... I really love stuffed animals.

I'm in college and I still have a pet net hanging in my room to carry the stuffed animals that don't fit on my bed.

The ones that live in the net:

Left to right, Row 1: Brass Granny (one of a kind), Pinky, Minnie Mouse, Cat in the Hat,
2: Best and Friends,  Jack the Monkey (from Pirates of the Carribean)
3: Baby Blue Bear (or BBB or Bebe, has a red twin my sister owns), Shampoodle, Sunshine Bear, Spotty
4: Lil' Kitty, Jingle, Patches

Missing in action: Lottie, Goldie the Unicorn, Tappy Cow, Cookie, Luau, and I think I still own Petey?

Stuffed animals have populated my room since I've been a baby, and I've let go of a lot of the ones from the past, but some I can't seem to get rid of. I have somewhere around 20 that will probably stay with me forever. Hah. Sorry future husband, but that's how it's going to be.

The ones that live on my bed:

Big Pooh, Ewok (I don't even own that one...)
Chester, Cocoa the Cuddle Monkey (he sings and dances!)
Little Timmy, Huggles, Jasper

And there's Jimmer in the corner!

I wonder why people get so attached to stuffed animals? And don't tell me I'm the only one, because I know I'm not. I hope. Gosh, I feel really weird now...

...ahem. Anyway.

I still want to collect more, but I tell myself that if I really want one, I'll have to give up one I already have first, or else it'll be like grade school days when I had to arrange my heaps of animals on my bed every day so it wasn't a disaster. It was nice when I had a bunk bed to myself, I could sleep on the top and keep the animals on the bottom. BUT I don't have that anymore, so I have to lessen the obsession...

However, sometimes I have to cave:

Who wouldn't want a cuddly Appa and Momo?

And of course, we can't forget my REAL animal:

How flattering, Pepper.

That is all. Sorry if I've bored you with my childhood. Shout out to all the stuffed animal lovers out there!
