It's not THAT old. It's from the same year.

I didn't mean it rudely, I was just pointing it out. Threads that are counted as old are the threads that are one month old in my sight, it feels like a long time to me.

Lol I don't think 2-3 weeks is one month.

On topic now, I don't think I have synethesia, but I can strangely compare specific things with colors. I think that's pretty normal though, but I guess I'm more creative with the concept.

I always associate the days of the week with colors & shape. I don't know if this is syntesia, though. It actually makes it easier to count what weekday is a specified event, for example.

Something like this:



Also when I listen to Heaven's Not Enough I always associate the music with dark blue and baby blue. A mix.

I never tasted/smelled colors or sounds though. xD

You have a common form of it. Where you associate colors with days, numbers, weeks, months, and etc. You can also hear colors in some songs but not taste or smell anything. (I've done some research)

I associate music to colors at times and I often associate sounds to music. (Forgot to put this one)

True to my forum name, I am a synesthete. I have lexical-gustatory synesthesia, which means that sounds and words evoke different tastes. Though I still hear, say, and read words and sounds the same, I can experience a "phantom taste". I also have ordinal-linguistic synesthesia, meaning that I assign colors, genders and even personalities to numbers and letters. Synesthesia is fascinating, isn't it?
It's been three freakin' years and I have no idea what I'm doing.
