Synaesthesia

Ever heard of Synaesthesia? Perhaps you have it! It's nothing bad...Synaesthesia is the neurological mixing of the senses. A synaesthete may hear colors, see sounds, and taste tactile sensations.

I have it, and I just recently found out the name for it. I'd always try to explain to people how certain numbers for me were always yellow, that the month of January was way far to the left, and there was once a girl who I swore "talked like butter," but nobody understood what the hell I meant

Here's a website about it, and the wikipedia page:

Wow, this is something I've never heard of before...very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Chlorine, that is the coolest thing ive ever heard.
Ive heard of it before, but never really talked to someone with it...I thought it was just a sensation of a full-bore LSD trip.
Talks like butter, lol, i wish i knew what you meant...

I have experienced it many times while on LSD. I cant imagine how annoying it must be to experience on a daily basis, though.

This sounds really neat. The only time most people experiance this is when they bump their nose. When this happens to me, I can smell the pain.
