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.

Me and Grace?

And Becka (not Bekah) even though she doesn't really post here? Ok it's probably exactly the same!:)

I miss her!!! :(:(

What about me?
(March 18, 2009 - 5:49 pm)
For me, it's not that whole words have color, but individual letters do. Like, my name goes like this:
C:yellow
H:red
A:sort of peachy tan
R: darkish purple
L:green
O:sort of a silvery navy/grayish
T:black, with a little blue ad brown thrown in
E:black
My alphabet is also on a backround the same color as A, but A still shows up on it.
What's my name to other people?
(March 19, 2009 - 2:02 pm)
That's cool!! What is G?
(March 19, 2009 - 2:26 pm)
I have some for names, too . . . though I'll bore you all to sleep . . . :)

Hey Admin, since nobuggy else will answer me, how do you pronounce synestesia?
I've been dying to know!!!! :)
It's pronounced "sin-uhs-THEE-zhuh" or "sin-uhs-THEE-zhee-uh."

Ok, that's what I thought. I just wanted to clarify it so I didn't walk around sounding like a fool. (a regular habit of mine)
Thanks!!!!
I like that word.
I also like that other word!! Clarify clarify clarify.
Isn't it cool how smells can trigger memories? Like, yesterday, I was looking through some old photos at my great aunt's house, and I picked up a bag, and WHOOSH! I remembered my best friend's brother's room, where all the dress-up clothes were. I miss that so much. It made me happy and sad at the same time. *sad smile*

Are you Bella? "My favorite color is brown . . . but everything here that is supposed to be brown is covered in soggy green stuff."

I have actually been obsessed with synesthesia ever since I read A Mango-Shaped Space. I wish I had it, but if I do, than it's probably very mild. Google Synesthesia. There are some pretty good youtubes and articles on it.
There is a woman who is the only person in the world (so far) to have three overlapping senses. So basically, music might draw up colored shapes in front of her eyes, but also taste like chocolate.
I like that Willa is light brown and shiny. So do vowels make a word either shiny or matte and consonants choose the color for you, or is it totally random?
I think everyone has synesthetic qualities. Once my sister and I were playing Monopoly and I had all the railroads. I found myself ordering them, from top to bottom, Short Line; Reading RR; Pennsylvania RR; B & O RR; because Short Line seemed the lightest and like powdered sugar, Reading seemed red, which was slightly heavier, Pennsylvania seemed purple and cello-like, which was even heavier, and B & O seemed to me like a drum. I wondered if everyone ordered them like that, so I got my sister to put them in an order that made sense to her, and she did it totally different! The whole thing seemed slightly synesthetic to me.
