It has come to my attention rather recently (within the last year or so) that I have synesthesia. Synesthesia ([link]) is when two senses become mingled and cause the brain to perceive one concept from two different perspectives. For example, I have ordinal linguistic personification ([link]) wherein I give numbers, letters and some words personalities, genders and sometimes color. To a lesser extent, I have number form synesthesia where I see numbers and different types of number organizations on a visual map around me. Not many people know this about me since I didn't know it was unusual and I'm only now learning about it.
I'm sort of worried you guys will think I'm crazy with all this and I swear I didn't know that other people didn't do this until recently. Anyway, I thought I'd tell you about my numbers:
0 - This number is genderless and grey. I refer to it as my 'God' number since it does not speak but knows all and sees all.
1 - He's a cool kid. Young and with a baseball cap. Sometimes I color him yellow or gold.
2 - She's a bitchy upstart. A dull red.
3 - A haggard overweight girl who could be mistaken for a boy. Pale pink.
4 - Heroic 20 some year old man. Blue.
5 - 2's mother and an even duller red. She reminds me of the Dutchess from Alice in Wonderland.
6 - A sly, sexy young girl. Pale yellow.
7 - He's very similar to MJ-7 from Trying Human! Sort of a dull dark bluish green and kind of emo.
8 - A dumpy overweight 40 some year old man. I often see him as 3's dad. Orange.
9 - 6's mother and the same sort of sexy sly woman. Pale yellow.
10 - 1's father and like one of those sporty dads. Navy blue.
11 - 1's dumb cousin. No color association.
I'm not sure why but this is where my personification of numbers ends. They just repeat after this with the number on left always being the dominant personality and then switching after 100 to the number furthest on the right being dominant. There is also a hill in my spacial timeline with 11 dipping down to 12 and then continuing on a flat surface to 20 where it goes back up again to another number plateau.
I'd go over all my letters but it would be really tedious for me to type them all out. I'll just give some examples of my favorite and not so favorite letters.
B - He's kind of overweight and cool. Always joking around a lot.
F - Older man with a mustache. He's really smart. (I tend to associate the word 'if' with this personality as well.)
L - You're going to laugh but Longus is really close to how I see L's personality. Cool and casual and kind of grinning all the time.
T - I love the letter T. He seems like the kind of person I could go to about any problem. He has a crush on S and U is his best friend who's always trying to get him a date with her.
X, Y, Z - I've always associated these three with an evil trio with Z being in control. X is masculine and Y and Z are feminine.
M - I really don't like this letter for some reason and I think it's because she bosses N around. She also wears a lot of expensive jewelry.
C - This is pretty close to how I see Rose but with shorter frizzier hair. I also strongly associate 'C' with the color red and hide the letter 'C' in Rose's hair because of this. [link]
If you have any questions about letters I haven't talked about, just ask me. I think I might try drawing some of my favorites. X3 At some point, I'll try to draw my spacial timeline. I have a few different ones for my age, world history, and number orders in general.
As a side note, it is confusing for me that my MAJESTIC 12 members (minus 7) don't look or personify how I see 'my' numbers. I did this on purpose for design reasons rather than just trying to confuse myself. lol Never in a million years would I associate the number 8 with a sexy young thang. X3
