Heck, consciously and purposfully tailoring your imaginary friends to your specific needs and circumstances seems to be a vast improvement over playing host to a memetic-monster that has evolved over thousands of years to serve only it's own propagation and for which you are an utterly disposable receptical. You may think that you're better off with no imaginary friends at all, in which case I'd say, "Go your own speed, brother."
