I have an artificial love for Tamas. By "artificial", I mean that I got into them on purpose and kind of forced myself. Although I never think of it that way, I just get on trying to expand my love for them. I used to look at this topic and not want to post that I thought Tamas were dull, lame, boring, repetitive, lifeless, annoying, interfering and life-disrupting because that was what I thought. There were 3 main reasons I even had them:
1. To fit in at school.
2. To fit in on TamaTalk.
3. Because I was bored.
Now my 3 main reasons are:
1. Because I love them.
2. Because I am addicted.
3. Because they can be my friends even in those unpopular-at-school times.
So, I'm 12 and I still love Tamas and my friends (who are mostly 3rd or 4th graders from my old junior school) are fond of them too, although it takes half a lifetime of Tama experience to learn to love them as pets. I don't like the 7th and 8th graders in my current school, because I'm often a few years behind in maturity and social skills. Not any years behind in spelling and Tamas, though!
