Ummm... Is This Weird To You?
Linda has a pillow on her bed with my exactly likeness on it. Her friend Leslie had it made for Linda's birthday. She really likes the pillow, but she does not want it to replace me, no way! There is a whole sub-culture in Japan called "Otaku" where men carry around pillows with girl anime characters printed on them. The men pretend the pillows are their girlfriends, they even go so far as carrying them around town and going on romantic dates. The men who love the pillows are called "2-D" (as apposed to having a real "3-D" girlfriend.) At least the pillow girlfriend does not whine or demand that the man put down the toilet seat. Maybe it's not such a bad idea afterall.
