animated inanimate objects

how far do you go to naming inanimate objects?
most of us already put names on our stuffed toys
and cars and it is normal behavior.

have i become too far that aside from dipping my finger
in not edible stuff or tasting pedigree pellets that my dog
loves to eat, i was already putting names on my plants,
my ipod, my mp3 player,our apartment, my guitar and my umbrella.
if i have favorite pairs of shoes and bags,
i might just put names on each one of them.

i usually do the self asessment test.
have i have become some lunatic that makes inanimate objects
alive in my head or i am just a plain sad person and i create
my own world (either or, still the idea is crazy).
yes i do talk to my stuffed toys and plants sometimes,
but i do think there's nothing wrong with that.
and besides, i stopped talking the silly fauna
when the leaves were all dried up and yes, dead.

but in a way, this is bad habit.
it's unhealthy. every time that inanimate object
got lost or broken, and again that "dead" word,
it affects me.naming things means creating a "life" out of it.
you "personify" the object.

maybe that's why i have a lot of things that
i am having a hard time of just letting go.
i am maybe taking things too personal.

bad... baad... baaad.............




oh well, the carousel ride was worth it.
i still think it was a real horse.
surprisingly, i didn't think of a name for it.
