Hi, world!
My name is Amme, and I'm 13. That's Ah-may. I like jiujitsu, rock climbing, reading, writing, and anything to do with the ocean. You know that famous line, "I see dead people"? Yeah. "I see colors."
I have a gift called synesthesia. It means that two of my senses are combined. When I hear things, I see things. Like colors, for instance. Words, letters, numbers, voices, sounds, and anything else that makes a noise makes me see a color in a shape in front of me. For example, right now, I am in my room, listening to the dog bark next door. It is making little brown smudges right in front of me. Now my own dog has joined in, leaving maroon smears of her own, tinged with black. When they stop, the color will stop. I can see through the color, because it is translucent, but it is definitely there.
All Synesthetes are different, so my colors are different from other people's. Like, my sister and I have long agreed to stop talking about our colors because last time we did that, we practically killed each other over whether R was brown or pink! Sounds crazy, I guess, but just goes to show you how real it is to us. It's as if you started arguing with somebody whether the sky was blue or red, you would be like hello! It's always been blue! Well, you've always seen it that way. We've never known anything else from our colors either.
And other people have different kinds of synesthesia. There was this one guy who tasted people's names. His wife's name tasted like peaches. IMHO, I think that would have been so cool, but kinda annoying after a while. And there are people who feel colors, and hear stuff when they see stuff.
If you ask me if it is cool, I'm afraid I have to tell you that I don't know. It's just always been there. And well, I guess this is obvious, but I'm not at all touchy about the subject, unlike some people. I LOVE being weird. Ask me ANYTHING! The color of your name, the color of your dog's name, whether I like the color J, (I do, it's a pretty dark magenta), The color of Taylor Swift's voice, (light blue with peach-orange-pink), whether I like pie, whatever. I'll try to get back to you, ASAP. :)
Now, you have two choices- go away from this site thinking "Man, this is one dang freaky kid" or think that and stay on the site. And I hope you enjoy my brand spanking new BLOG!
I hope everyone's having a happy December! Peace and love from this freak :) I'll try and post again soon.
