I just read up about synesthesia on Wikipedia, and it's almost scary how closely I think to those descriptions. O.O<br /><br />Ooh! L.M. Montgomery! Huh, I never thought of that, but you're right. For some odd reason, I've always felt a connection with Anne and wondered at it, especially since I'm not what you'd call a drama queen and I don't have red hair or a boy in my class who calls me carrots. But the synesthesia makes sense. I especially like Philippa's being blue -- the delicate shade definitely tops the navy in that sense.Kirsten Fichterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887462858049277918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328638743833934975.post-44427841780140377782014-07-15T08:54:47.723-04:002014-07-15T08:54:47.723-04:00I've actually never heard of synesthesia. *men...I've actually never heard of synesthesia. *mental note to RESEARCH* <br /><br />YES!!! Letters do look like colors!! M is, yup... a dark red, although I see it a little more maroon than brick. And L, to me, has always been almost a neon green. S alternates between gray and yellow, and then P is always lilac. That's just so weird that our brains work that way! Truly, the more I learn about the human body and the way God made us, the more I am amazed at His power and genius.

When I first heard of synesthesia (from the book Ultraviolet, be careful about the sequel I don't know if I would recommend it), I thought of the author L.M. Montgomery and how she wrote. Anne talking about souls as flowers, Philippa talking about being blue, a delicate shade and not navy, and her giving things personality.Livia Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755623391278276925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328638743833934975.post-2298550749304783582014-07-14T14:20:13.886-04:002014-07-14T14:20:13.886-04:00This is so cool, Kiri!

Maybe not quite as strongly as you, but I definitely know where you're coming from.<br /><br />Have you heard of synesthesia? Because I think this would qualify as that. The most common form of synesthesia I think is when letters have colors in a person's mind, so this is very similar. I definitely have some form of synesthesia. I see colors with all the letters and usually words. Like the letter M is a brick red and L is a soft yellow. And, in fact, I DEFINITELY associate people with colors, my characters especially. So I totally understand what you're saying on that aspect! Like Donovan from Secrets of Camelot is a dark green with some earthy brown thrown in. It's all just really cool. I am kind of obsessed with personality traits like this, I get so excited exploring how people's brains work. This post was so interesting! I think it's awesome how you see people.Christine Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859881278385314279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328638743833934975.post-13065622554058564472014-07-14T12:51:08.179-04:002014-07-14T12:51:08.179-04:00This does not sound odd at all.

In fact, I completely understand what you mean, although I tend to see people more in a scene, almost like a photograph, as opposed to thinking of them in colors.<br /><br />Hooray for August! Can't wait to see you then.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05339091544962023545noreply@blogger.com
