COLORS EVERYWHERE

You guys.

THIS. THIS IS MY LIFE.

For one thing, ugly voices are why I can't listen to Led Zeppelin (although fortunately for my longstanding crush on her, Madeline Kahn's voice is a nice light peach to me). For another, yes, I HAVE had that problem with folders. At Dad's office the patients charts were color-coded by the letter of their last name, and it goes without saying EVERY. SINGLE. LETTER. was the wrong color. I actually did screw it up from time to time.*

For a third thing, their #1 on the list made me laugh WAY too hard. You people and your grey,** lifeless world. I'm so sorry.

So, yeah, synesthesia is pretty crazy. And these guys don't even get into the ordinal linguistic personification. That stuff is WHACK, man. I sometimes wonder if linguistic gender stemmed from the fact that some damn synesthete somewhere just fuckin' KNEW their table was a girl and their oven was a dude. Yet another mystery for the scientists to mess with.


*Though for some reason "S" and "W" gave me the most trouble. They were the ones I got wrong most often. And I mixed up "G" and "H" a lot for some reason, because one folder was pink and the other was lilac when IN ACTUALITY both of them are different shades of impossible orange. I guess their similarity in my head made it hard to convert the RIGHT shade of impossible orange.

**Fun Fact I spell it "grey" not because I am pompous (well, that, too) but because the letter A is bright candy pink and E is a sort of sage-green-grey, and therefore E is more suited for the word.

OMG, you're right - du0-toned silk dupioni really is the closest thing to some of my impossible colours. But yes, only for like a second depending on how the light falls^.
