A Synesthetic World

Hey everyone!!

I will be in a couple of minutes in Omegle to text chat (or video if you want to) to say hello to anyone who pops out :)

The tags so you can find me are:

• synesthesia
• a synesthetic world
• a synnie world
• ASW

I’m pretty excited haha :)

Do you prefer simple songs (as in very few instruments) or complex songs (as in lots of instruments)?

photozoom7 replied to your post: What are some of the most common variations of…

That cool but I still don’t understand what some of them mean :S

Well, there’s grapheme-color, which makes you see colors on letters,

Then there’s time units-color, meaning that seconds, minutes, days or even years have colors

There’s musical sounds-color, which enables you  have “colored music”

Then there’s flavor-touch, that makes you feel textures on your body when you taste something. 

The rest pretty much share statistics :)

I want to say thank you for all the encouragements you guys gave me after the incident yesterday, so here’s a little treat for mirror-touch synnies and the Grapheme-Color simulator :)

When somebody says he or she has synesthesia because of the iTunes visualizer:

I just noticed that all the girlfriends I’ve ever had were synesthetes XDD

Aww I’m sorry you have been ridiculed :/ A friend of mine wrote on her book that synesthesia has its “15 seconds of attention” every 100 years or so (Scriabin and the colored organ in the last century; and Baudelaire the one before). But in another sense, this time we’re more vocal about it. There’s the Ratatouille and The Soloist movies, A Mango Shaped Space book, and The Name of This Book is Secret series. Some artists are “coming out of the synnie closet” publicly, like Tori Amos and Marina from Marina and the Diamonds. The same friend I mentioned earlier is in the editing process of a bio about a non-synnie turned synnie and savant and it might be turned into a movie, with Brad Pitt as the lead actor, so synesthesia will definitely get a giant boost. 

On the last question, I don’t want to sound rude, but most people are two-faced. They ridicule us for “being high” all the time, but they love the experiences and possibilities it can do.
