Okay, one of my loves in my life is...a teddy bear. Quite honestly, I love her; her name is Honey. I really care for her, but some would think I'm a bit of a weirdo for that, but hey...I'm a fully functioning individual, have a full time job (out now because of my recent accident), go to college, and have friends and a boyfriend. I just...love my bear. Anyway, I am always looking up 'Beary News' as I call it and I found this... I had to cover Honey's eyes! xD Yes, she's sitting on my lap. Deal. xD I guess it is morbidly kinda cute...lmao...I'm so used to my little bear though, she's just so sweet and innocent (well mostly, she tends to kind of torment some of my other stuffed animals because she knows they don't get the extent of attention that she does...). How do you feel about teddy bears though? I know there probably won't be anyone here that takes their bear along with them when they go out and such, but do you love teddies? Oh, and look on the bright side...if teddy bears are too cute for you or something, you always have ZOMBIE BEAR! xD

Awe, I love my teddies! Although most of them aren't actually bears lol. I have one scruffy mutt with a scarf, a bulldog (I made myself! XD) a green long neck dinosaur, a triceratops, and a small pink elephant (whom I also made!). I love them all very much. I think it's adorable how much you care for your little guy. That Zombie bear disturbed me and I couldn't look at it for very long lmao. Too creepy!

I'm so glad you someone shares a plushie love like I do! Your little plush friends sound adorable! I will post a picture of my Honey, she's such a good teddy! Thank you too! <3
I know the zombie bear was creepy...artistic but..creepy! O.o

YES I MUST SEE HONEY!!! HOW CUTE! I have a serious plush toy problem. waa.web44.net/Goodies\My (Real Life) Toybox And anything there will classify me as odd, but the gold mine is of course THE PLUSH TOYS. The Misc Toy pics shows enough of my weird side too. ANYWAY that should show you how plush toy crazy I am. Ever since I was a kid I LOVED plush toys. I was always the odd one out around neighborhood kids, because I was home-schooled and not really exposed to the things going on in real schools...like how fast kids grew up and moved onto bigger things. I kinda matured very late. (Still not quite where I should be LOL) And anyway, so I would occasionally have times where I couldn't fit in with my friends. But it was fine because I'd go up to my room and get lost in whatever imaginary game I could, plush toys with me all the way, and I'd be up there for hours. They were my friends. They're real to me in their own way, and I treasure them. I owe them big for cheering me up when I needed them, haha. xD They're pretty much a big part of my family, and my worst fear is losing them in a disaster because unlike family and pets...they can't run away. :\ Anyway! I do have ones who mean a ton to me, some with senti-mental value, and random passing favorites. I think my Webkinz are and always will be some of my favorites. Particularly Sunny Fate, the Golden Retriever you see in a lot of pics on that misc pics page. Sunny was in a store before Christmas, and two months later I went back and she was still there. I remembered her distinct features, with plans to come back for her, when I'd seen her the first time, and it was her without a doubt. So it was meant to be, haha. xD She's worn and has been everywhere with me. I always want a plush toy within reach. I'm often carrying one around and I don't mind carrying them in public either. I mean...what's the harm? xDDD People make a fuss about it sometimes but it's not hurting anything, so why should I care? xD ANYWAY. I <3 Plush Toys. My life's story. xDDD

The Misc Toy pics shows enough of my weird side too. Oh my goodness, CatCreature...I LOVE YOUR PLUSHIES!!!!!!!! They're all so beautiful!! 1,056 - where do you keep them all!? I saw plushies that I never have seen out...ever...they're...amazing...I would LOVE to have a collection like that!! That is so cool, I'm so happy you care for them all too!! ^___^ I'll show you my Honey! This is Honey and her best friend, Mr. Monkey Fancy Pants (he's fancy...everything he does is just...fancy...he always has his legs crossed, he's just a fancy gent!) wrapped up in her baby blanket!
Here are Honey's little kitty booties (she has them in frogs too!), and Mr. Monkey Fancy Pants' leg lol!
This is the first day Honey met Mr. Monkey Fancy Pants, we were on a trip to get her some new clothes because it was freeeezing out and she was chilly in my bag! We were in my car here and her and Mr. Monkey just posed so ADORABLY!!!!
Then here is a little card I made of Honey, I had the idea from my stamp idea here and once I make a few more, I am going to have them printed on either thick paper or photo paper and put them in a little scrapbook!I know, like you said, some people will think it is so weird to bring a plushie with you out and stuff, but you're right, it isn't harming anyone. I don't see any harm in it. Is it what 'normal' people usually do? I'd guess not, but I love her and she's real to me. She doesn't have to be to others, you know? Haha, it's not like I get all in people's faces when I'm out and be like, "LOOK AT MY BABY GIRL, SHE'S SO REAL!!" No, lol, she is to me, but I don't believe other people think she is nor should they have to. ^^ My boyfriend loves her too, she's just a truly happy girl! The other people we live with I wouldn't dare explain how I care for her and such, they are just those types of people...you wouldn't share that with. haha! I'll definitely post more about her if you guys aren't weirded out by it, she'd love to meet you guys on here!

Yeaaah, my room is owned more by my plush toys than me, let's just say that. LOL. I put them anywhere they'll fit. They're mostly all over the place in any shelf space I can find, some on my bed, some in boxes, some in my dresser's cabinet space...all over. I do have a bigger than average room, and have for the last two houses they've been in, so that helps. Most rooms people have wouldn't fit them all. :\
And yeah, they came from all over the place. Stores, fairs, online, some were gifts from friends who went on vacation...just everywhere. xDDD Awwww! Honey is adorable! She looks so snuggly too. <3 And so is her monkey friend!
Where do you get her clothes and slippers that actually fit? o.o
Haha, I agree. Besides, who wants to be "normal" anyway? It's boring. ;D I'd definitely love to see more of her!!

That's awesome though! You must feel so secure at night with all of their cute little eyes watching you! ^^ That is great that you got them from all over, it is like they all must have their own stories to tell - it's too bad they all can't talk to us!
Thank you very much too! Honey is a truly special girl, as is her friend, Mr. Monkey! Believe it or not, I got those slippers from a dollar store near my house. I was ecstatic when I found them and they fit!! They have little piggies and dogs too I saw just yesterday when I went into the dollar store (another one close to my home). The clothes I got mostly from the baby section (it has to be newborn clothes, anything made for older babies is way to big). I don't know if you have a Carter's (baby store) around you, but that particular brand fits her best, in the NB (newborn) size!
I'm glad you agree, that makes me smile! ^__^ 'Normal' is over rated. xD
I will definitely be posting more of her! Haha, I just told her, 'Honey, you're getting famous!' She's very happy to get to know everyone here, very excited! Mr. Monkey is a little more reserved and shy, he'll come around though!

Aww, thank you! She loves compliments...and so does Mr. Monkey, he just won't admit it as easily! xD I actually have another pic I will post...this is Honey today in her jacket (because it is FREEZING in our house) and her Spring time bows!

LOL!! You're the first one to look at it that way! "Secure" with all their eyes watching you...EVERYONE who has seen my room thinks the eyes looking at you 24-7 is a bit creepy, haha! I do feel very WATCHED, but I don't really care, I love 'em. xD And it's funny. I do feel very relaxed and at ease whenever I go in my room. Well, I did when my plush toys were all out...since moving recently, my room isn't finished being setup and they're all in bags at the moment and I hate it.
But it's...almost like...theraputic LOL. I'd go in my room and it feels like just a sigh of relief. Feels like my blood pressure goes down. Something about them comforts me greatly, and if I'm ever mad or sad, just going into my room makes me feel better, and I can start snapping out of whatever funk I'm in. xD
Man I also wish dearly that they could talk! I also got some from thrift stores (I love giving unwanted plushies a second chance :X) and I'm CONSTANTLY wondering about what their lives were like. Plus I found this one teddy forever ago lost in a store. They didn't carry him and let me take him for free, and I think we had left something in the store saying we found a lost bear, but nobody ever claimed him, and I've still got him. He's lovely though, beautiful golden fur! Anyway...if I could have, I would have asked him about his owners to see if I could help him get back. :\ I still wonder, and hope nobody was missing him too badly...
Wow, baby clothes...why did I not think of that. xDD You know, I don't think she's a Build-A-Bear, but I wonder if you could take her into one of those stores and try clothes on her and see if anything there fits her anyway. They let people do that for the bears they sell, I don't see why they wouldn't allow it for bears they DON'T sell.
Aww. I'll definitely be a fan of Honey and Mr Monkey's, hehe! I love them already! She looks so cute in her coat!! <3

She looks so cute in her coat!! <3 I always feel such a comfort just laying on the bed with my plushies and holding Honey and Mr. Monkey. Then my boyfriend and I have two cubbies full of little plushies, who always watch over us! I don't think it's creepy at all, they're all so cute and sweet! Aww, I loved how you saved that teddy from that store, that's so nice of you! I remember one day a few years ago my boyfriend and I went for a walk around where we live, only s few streets down, it was Winter and there was ice and snow all over, and in the distance we say something tiny and bright yellow (then actually a dull yellow with mud all over), and I remember thinking, 'That's too elevated to be dog pee! xD' and we both walked up to it and upon inspecting further, it was a tiny, tiny little Pikachu! A mini plushie!! She was so dirty and had mud, road grime, ice, and snow all caked on her! We took her home, gave her a good warm bath in the sink, let her dry and now she is a bright, beautiful yellow and I swear she's always had a happy glow about her since then! You know, I never thought of actually trying the clothes on her in Build A Bear! I've went in there looking at clothes, but never took her out of my bag to try them on! That's a great idea! Honey isn't a Build A Bear, but they shouldn't discriminate like that! They'd still be making a sale! I love their clothes too...so cute and always new stuff...ahhh! I'm DEFINITELY telling my boyfriend about that when he gets home today!! I'll post pictures of our shopping trip when we go! Honey has been wanting a dress so badly too...I've made mention to my boyfriend but didn't tell her yet that I'm planning on getting her one for her birthday (in May she'll be one year!)! I told Honey how she has a new few fans and she's acting a bit shy! Mr. Monkey is sitting on my bed with some of the other plushie babies...acting all fancy and proper! xD

Aw, the picture didn't work, it's showing as a broken image! Aww that poor Pikachu! What a mess she got into. Kinda funny it was a Pokemon of all things...wild Pikachu appears!! xD And so many people would just ignore, or even THROW AWAY a dirty plush found like that...so it's lucky you guys found her and actually cared enough to take her home and fix her up! <3 Ahaha, yay for a trip to Build-A-Bear! Are the people in your shop as silly and friendly as in mine? xDD They're so funny...whenever I go there, the people who walk around and help you out are always SO cheery and helpful and seem to be enjoying themselves...and I even heard one person there speaking the "Build-A-Bear Lingo" while I was there! Which was funny, because I knew it...but the people she was talking to didn't, and she had to explain it. xDD Anyway, they're awesome. I keep thinking that'd be a fun job, haha! Honey's only going to be one year? The way you talk about her, it sounded like you've had her since you were little! How did you get Honey, come to think of it? What made her so special? I'm curious now! ^^

I'm curious now! ^^ Here is the picture that was showing up as broken (hopefully this one shows for you ^^) I know! A lot of people would have just left her there to get run over! I feel so fortunate I found her! I'll post a pic of her and her boyfriend later (who's an Ugly Doll, I don't know if you ever heard of them, they're adorable, I think you'll like them!)! Oooo! I SO hope that they let me let her try on clothes! They seemed nice when my boyfriend and I walked in the last few times, but not as cheery as the employees at yours! That's awesome, maybe they will be when they see Honey! ^___^ Yes, her birthday was May 2012, since my birthday is May 2, we're going to celebrate it on the same day! <3 Honey was a present from my boyfriend. We were out at Walmart one day and we were looking through the toy section (xD that's us!), and I saw her and immediately picked her up. I couldn't tell you exactly why her, because there were other plushies and even teddies exactly like her, same color and everything...but it was her. I picked her up immediately after laying my eyes on her and I seriously couldn't leave there without her. My boyfriend thought it was adorable how attached we were and he bought her for me! Ever since we have been inseparable; there's something surreal about her little face, her eyes have emotion. The only place she doesn't come with me to is work (she stays home with Mr. Monkey) because she would have to be put into my locker, and I would never want her just stuffed in there for 8-12 hours at a time. She's so special though. It is amazing how sometimes you are just drawn to things isn't it?? Oh, and for your viewing pleasure, here she is saying hi to everyone today! I let her pick out which ribbon she wanted on her collar! My boyfriend bought her that collar the night she came home! ^_____^

The pic worked! Awwww xDD Wait, it's CALLED an Ugly Doll? LOL I've never heard of that before. xDDD Can't wait to see them! Awww, such a cute story!! <3 I love how your boyfriend thought it was cute, and bought her for you. So many guys would just think it silly, or whatever. I love how he seems to love Honey too! And yeah...that connection you have with Honey is how I feel with Sunny. (Dude, their names even rhyme LOL) I don't carry her around with me as often anymore, but whenever I go for a plush toy to bring with me when I want somebody, she's usually the first I grab. xDD I wouldn't want to stuff them in a locker either, haha! Honey looks pretty! Loving the pink, my favorite color!! xD

Hehehe, yep, they're actually called Ugly Dolls, wait until you see him...I think you're going to think he is adorable! xD Yes, my boyfriend loves Honey too. He has her take his knives (he collects them) and PLAY beat up Squish, a little squishy blanket that rolls up into a brown, chubby dog. LMAO. For whatever reason she has always bullied him...then sits there with her little shiny eyes acting all innocent! I'll post a pic when she is in rage mode (it's kinda hilarious...). D'aaww! Which one of your plushies was Sunny?? They do rhyme, that's funny!! Thank you too, she loves pink. ^_^
