I am bored
I am bored and synesthetic, so I am making a list of people and the color of their names. If you don't know what synesthesia is, look it up on Wikipedia or read A Mango-Shaped Space. Also, I do not have the kind of synesthesia where you hear a noise and see a color, I have the kind that I just KNOW the color of words and some sounds. (What color, for examle is the word "moved"?) Those people I have forgotten, please just reply and I will add your name. For some reason, I seem to see the most words in some shade of red, pink, or blue.
Julia - Medium blue/shiny
Maddy - About the same color red as the background on this site/matte
Blair - Navy/matte
Paige - Sorry, gray, but your last name is pale yellow/matte
Lena - Dark pinkish red, but the "E" is white/sometimes matte, sometimes shiny
Jenni - Light bluish with a little tinge of gray/same as Lena
Willa - Chocolate brown/shiny
TNO - Black, but the "O" (Not the umlauts) is sometimes blue/shiny
Laura - Light browny-red/matte
Bekah - Powder blue, but REbekah is raisinish/matte, Rebekah is shiny
Kimberly - Light pink/matte
Meadow - very pale pine tree green/matte
Koffee - The color of coffee with a LOT of cream/shiny
Kake - Slightly darker pink than Kimberly/matte
Hope - Golden yellow/sometimes matte, sometimes shiny
Hannah - More orange than Hope/matte
Mary Jo - Mary is bright red, Jo is purplish royal blue/shiny
More later.

It seems live everybuggy on here has a bit of it! Sorry, mine doesn't work with names so I can't tell you your names unless I spell them out.

Well, the letters are different for me, except for C, but that's the same idea. I think everyone's synesthesia is different.

Hi, Willa!!!!!!!! We're on at the same time!!!!
(March 19, 2009 - 7:55 pm)
Yay, yellow's my favorite color!

I don't have it for individual letters, I think--just for words. I think it depends on the "E"s and "A"s. :)

I have a question that probably everyone knows and I feel dumb asking, but I'll ask it anyway: Does synthesia apply to other things, like people that taste words and stuff like that? Or is that called something else? Sorry, stupid question, but I was just wondering...
(March 19, 2009 - 10:40 pm)
That wasn't stupid!! I would have asked the same thing if my mind were smart enough!!!!!!
Here, I'll look it up. (really, that was a GOOD question.) (really) :)
synesthesia |ˌsinəsˈθē zh ə| ( Brit. synaesthesia)noun Physiology & Psychologythe production of a sense impression relating to one sense or part of the body by stimulation of another sense or part of the body.• the poetic description of a sense impression in terms of another sense, as in “a loud perfume” or “an icy voice.”DERIVATIVESsynesthete |ˈsinisˌθēt| |sɪnˈiːsθiːt| |-ˈɛs-| nounsynesthetic |-ˈθetik| |ˈsɪn1sˈθɛdɪk| |-ˈθɛtɪk| adjective
ORIGIN late 19th cent.: modern Latin, from syn- [with,] on the pattern of anesthesia.

Yes, it does apply. It isn't a stupid question!!! :) However, the kind of synesthesia we're talking about and that I think I have is color-grapheme synesthesia. There's also sound-color synesthesia, number form synesthesia, personification (that's what I have with the months and days of the week), and lexical-gustatory synesthesia. Basically, though, synesthesia is any jumbling of the senses. The most common kind is color-grapheme synesthesia, which I think I have. (When I was younger I actually saw material colors in the air, but not anymore. SIGH... :( ) Um, lest you think I'm a show-off, I looked it up on Wikipedia. I'm really interested in this.

Oh, thanks, you guys! It was a stupid question since all of you kind of knew it and were'nt too lazy to look it up like I was, but you all are so nice that you pretend I'm not a complete freak (which I am)! I love you guys!
(March 21, 2009 - 5:13 pm)
Since when were you a complete freak? As far as I know, you're not!!!

Wow. That's really cool. THanks, everyone, for telling me what my name sounds like. Coolio. I wish I was synesthetic. That would be cool. Wow. Does anyone else see how my font just got big? Weird. hmmm. . . .
(March 20, 2009 - 7:02 pm)
No, I think the Admin change all the fonts. I copied and pasted a quiz off Word once that was in Papyrus, but they changed it to this font, whatever it is.
FYI, the font that is posted is built into the system. Admin doesn't change what is submitted. It's changed automatically.
(March 21, 2009 - 7:07 am)
Oh, OK.
(March 21, 2009 - 5:08 pm)
Good. Cause often I copy things off of other things, and my fonts are all mixed up, and it's crazy!! (I like papyrus!)
(March 21, 2009 - 11:08 pm)
My sister and I are crazy about fonts... :)
