I haven't been feeling normal lately. Just... not normal. Different. Too different.
Oh. And I think I have synesthesia. ADD and synesthesia... Yup.
Synesthesia:
1. A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color.
2. The description of one kind of sense impression by using words that normally describe another.
It's so weird. I had just always done this. I had always thought of certain feelings as a certain color, or maybe a situation as a certain smell, but I never knew it had a name. I just thought I was plain weird. But I read this book and this person said they were synesthetic, so I looked it up and I freaked out.
It's not like I'm going to tell my parents, though. They won't believe me. They don't think I have ADD either; but I do. I know it. They just... don't believe me. It gets me mad, because I think that there's something out there that might be able to /help/ with my ADD, but they won't even take it seriously!
Okay. An example of my synesthetic-ness.
The subject: Tuesday.
The descritption[from yours truely]:
Tuesday is like a bright blue that almost mixes with yellow. It's like sledding down a snowy hill while eating near-melted ice-cream, but it's still cold. It's like talking golden fish; like a dead bumble bee rotting away.
See, to me, that makes perfect sense, and all of those comparisons are exact. To me, there's no other way to explain Tuesday except that it's after Monday and before Wednesday.
So... there. >< I would go into more detail, give more examples, but I'm getting kicked off. Ciao.
