So, long story short, I told someone that I think that the number seven is orange. I really didn't think anything of it, but she was surprised. "omg! Do you have synesthesia? That is so cool!" My response was "what is synesthesia?"
So, do you associate uncommon things with each other? Honestly I think it might be why I have a good memory.
No I don't. Ask psy, my memory is horrible. :/ I don't associate anything with anything. My memory is so crappy. t takes someone to jog my memory for a bit before I remember it.
Please don't use our alphabetQuote:

One exception is names. I cannot remember names of acquaintances I meet -- it will often be weeks of seeing the same classmate briefly before I remember their name consistently. It's probably associated with the fact that I don't give a crap about every random person I meet.
I interpret sounds as colors, and to a much lesser extent numbers and letters. I think the numbers and letters, however, isn't real synesthesia because I think both '7' and and 'A' are red and there are obvious social reasons for that.
I see no justification in feeling that the key of G major is red, though, even though I do.

I know I do (associate uncommon things with eachother), but I can't really think of any specific examples. I associate people with colours I guess.
Actually hang on I have some examples. Usually I associate songs or movies or games (or parts thereof) with people or other things. A friend (who had moved away) once called me while I was playing FFVI. I was in Figaro Castle at that point, so I always remember him when I play that part.

Most musicians and anyone infact would probably relate colours and music (chords, keys, notes etc) because of the 'feel' or 'texture'. I'm currently doing some composition work on seasons and because of this I am relating chords and colours. So for summer I would use 'warm' notes, major keys, which to me are red, yellow, orange etc, then winter 'cold', blue, minor, diminished, etc.Quote:

i see black ppl as lollipops :confused:
:D I've got this. When I was a little girl my family thought i was crazy and would ask me what colour each number was as like a whimsical little trick, i think the thought i was just eccentric, I was shocked to learn that people thought it was strange. Then like 5 years ago my friend saw a documentary on it and rung me up to say "hey ur not as crazy as we thought"
LoL
