Wilson from Cast Away
During school time around where I live, my sister and parents stay all week long in another house we have near the school she goes to. (They had to buy a small house near the school because where we live originally is out of the school district. We only lived 3 miles from the school but just a hair outside the district. No they're not rich either!)

When they stay at the other house I stay by myself at our house on the lake. My sister and parents would only come home on weekends. It's not really a big deal that I would stay alone, but it can be lonely.

Since I was a fan of the hit movie "Cast Away", I had always wanted Wilson (the volley ball) from the movie. 2003 Christmas morning I open up a gift and low and behold it's Wilson! When I first got him I'd pretend to talk to him around my sister and her boyfriend. Just goofing off mostly. I'd fake an argument with Wilson, little disagreements. My sis finally told me to stop heh.

Wilson and I have watched Cast Away a few times together. He told me what it was like working on the film with Tom Hanks. How long the hours were on the island. It's fun living with a celebrity! On the right is a picture of Wilson just waking up in the morning in bed.
