oh oh oh! this was an exciting entry, I have many comments! 1- I love Ray Bradbury!! I've read everything he's written and a couple biographies of him, which I actually regretted because they had too much information for my tastes (like for example, I did not need to know that he lost his virginity to a hooker for a dollar when he was 16). 2- I have synesthesia, too! Only I didn't know until a couple weeks ago when I first read about it, in my neuro textbook. Mine's different- for me, numbers have colors, as well as genders (as a general thing, even numbers are feminine and odd numbers are masculine, but there are exceptions). It was very exciting to read about synesthesia and realize I'm not quite as crazy as I thought I was. Another cool thing about it is that there seems to be a strong correlation between synesthesia and creativity-- many artists and writers have it, and supposedly it helps with forming metaphors and symbols and such because you're used to linking things that are generally unrelated. You probably knew all that, but it was new to me. 3- Okay, I'm curious too, what color is Ashley? 4- yes, that is an awesome quote.
