draw circle object

How do I draw a circle object?
I know I can apply a stroke to the selection but I want a circle I can change the size of.

That's more of a vector drawing thing that you'd find in a program like Inkscape. However, it's still possible using paths. Create an elliptical selection and then choose Select>To Path. That creates a circular path that you can edit, stroke, or do whatever with. It's not ideal if you're interested in drawing vector-style shapes, but it gets the job done.

This is typically a request for a vector drawing program (such as Inkscape), and not a paint program (such as the GIMP).

That said, probably the nearest you can get (with GIMP) is using Filters -> Render -> Gfig
