I bought a TY Elvis bear a while ago, and I have grown very attached to the bear since. It wears a pair of shades and has a body of orange fur and a turf of black spikey hair. It is very adorable (to me) and I have brought it out with me on two separate trips, just because I felt like doing it. I sometimes look at it and think to myself that its face reminds me of one of my tuition kids, this girl who likes to play basketball and is very softspoken when we were having English lessons. Right now the bear is sitting in a lazy laid back way on the monitor of my PC which I hardly use anymore, and it is staring quite silently at the ceiling. I find the posture extremely endearing, and I wonder if I would bear to take it away from its sitting place, even if it's just to hold it in my hands. It is a beanie soft-toy and I realise that those are the soft-toys that I like best, not too soft and not too hard and uncomfortable when you hold them in your hands. Sometimes I talk to Elvis and pretend that it is singing to me, when in fact I am singing to myself. I like to think that it is a little vain esp when it lowers its shades and acts all mysterious, just like its namesake Elvis the King. And my, look at those sideburns, they lend such character to the bear.
