((as posted on my tumblr site))
I almost choked on my coffee (a boy word, strong yet subdued in personality, like a gently giant) and yogurt (female word, slightly alternative and flippant; a highly strung hippy) reading my morning news. I mean, it’s never really come up in any conversation, but I just assumed that everyone prescribed a color, gender and personality to letters, numbers and words. Apparently, it’s only the “mildly insane”. Or rather, the “creatives”. (Fine line defining these two, trust me).
Nonetheless, I’m quite excited to discover I’m a synesthete. Only problem is, it’s a new word so I have to decide on it’s gender and personality.
