Ohh look Erin
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia
Wiki says one in 23 people have it!

I had no idea, and about music too, because low notes are blue and high notes are white! That is how I got through my music course at college!

I thought I just had a wild imagination I didn't think it was an actual thing!

The biggest part for me is hearing shapes, i'm always thinking that! How interesting!

I have sleep paralysis too and I didn't kno wthat was a real thing either 'til earlier this year!

I'm glad you said now Erin!

I found one with a test on it Erin, I will post it up tomorrow, i'm going to bed now.

I am going to show my dad these! We had a laugh last week when he shut a cupboard and I told him it sounded like a perfect square!

The biggest one for me is tasting smells but I thought everyone did that?

Like when you say to someone OH THAT TASTES LIKE PAINT and they say HAVE YOU EVER TASTED PAINT?! No but, it tastes like paint smells. Does that not happen to us all?

[Erin]

ooh yeh post the test Im off to try and sleep now too doubt it though after Elaine got me all hyper
Yep I know what you mean by the whole tasting paint thing,I thought that was normal too

[dandysmom]

I can hardly wait for the test! Don't know why, as I don't have any of these abilities. It's like ESP...that fascinates me too, but I have about as much ESP as a head of cabbage!
