Plushes

[lupestripe]

Just out of interest, how many plushes do you own and what animals do you have?

I have always been interested in plushes, ever since I was a kid, but unfortunately my parents banned me from buying any more as they feared I would drown amidst a sea of plushes. They even confiscated some of them too and stuck them in the attic.

But now I am an adult, I am free to buy what the hell I want and this includes furry friends!!

I have a giant lion called Leo that an ex bought for me, a giant easter bunny, Bukkake the Bear from a charity shop (£4 for a 3ft bear, bargain!!) and a vast array of wolves, foxes and dogs. Of course, being a husky myself I have a natural fondness towards canids as they are just so darn cute!! Sadly I have yet to find any with pink stripes. Shame, they're missing a market there :P

Also, does anyone else get plush sympathy? That is, an overwhelming rush of emotion when you see a particular plush? Sometimes I go into a shop, spy a plush and just have to buy it because of the cute face or how it looks. I have also been known to buy two of the same plush because I liked the look of both of them and feel that if I put one back on the shelf, he will feel sad because I rejected him. I know it's silly but does anyone else experience this? Or am I just a nutjob?

Anyways, I currently have about 20 plushes. How many do you have and what's your animal(s) of choice?

i dunno, but i cant say i spent around 1600euros in a suit, they will freak out saying i should be get other things... so its no much for a lie if i just say its a gift or was around 200euros...

It is a lie but I understand the situation exactly as I had a similar problem with my parents too. Still, you just have to stand your ground and say it's your money. If that's the case, then they can't really complain.

they will, since im living under their roof... i understand but i really cant do other way, i know them enough

There is the school of thought that says as long as you are living under the same roof as your parents, you have to subscribe to their whims, even if you are staying there under your own finances. That was the reason why I moved out in the end but my father was still pro-fursuits. Indeed, he still washes mine for me. When are you getting your suit by the way?

Also, I agree, sometimes to prevent arguments, lying is the best way...
