Synesthesia

Interesting you should bring that up.

I have absolute perfect pitch - which is not considered synesthesia
unless it's coupled with something.

In my case, it's color - I see the key of C as red, A as blue and so
on. Chords are also colors and the really odd thing is that they don't
match the notes. I don't see colors in numbers, but I do see colors
in letters and words - both vowels and nouns.

Somehow it's related to my dyslexia disorder - or at least that's what
some witch doctors think. :)

The interesting thing (stop me if this is TMIland) is that the letter
colors actually helped me overcome the dyslexia - I came to associate
the correct combinations by the colors. I don't even notice it now
that I'm "of an age" and it's only when the subject comes up that I
start to pay attention to it.

Oh well, enough about me. I mean, I know this is always about me, but
I'm willing to give up space to others. :)
