Oh, stop being a silly-sphinx! You’ve got the fur, and you can put pants on your true form if you need warmth. Just make a hole for that lovely lion tail, and practice using your front paws. Use fabric loops inside if you need to feet a grip.
C’mon, Michelle, how can you be bored now ? Synesthesia is one damn crazy magical thing ! Okay, less than growing wings and lion paws, but still.
Yeah, but I think all of us have had that teacher or professor that can make even incredibly interesting subjects incredibly dull.
I once had a science thatcher who’s dull, flat, monotonous Scottish accent would actively send me to sleep. I would have had a full 12 hours of Z the previous night and all it’d take is 5 minutes of her talking and my head would suddenly weigh x5 of what it should and BAM! It’d be time for next lesson. Messed up or what?
one of only 2 brain “defects” i wouldn’t mind having to be honest (the other one i already have)
Chewing on metallic necklaces while bored? I’ve found a kindred spirit.
I think it’s a bad idea with her, supper sharp teeth and all. Not the least because it’s her medallion.
She may not be chewing on it. I do the same thing with my pendant (medallion-shaped), but my teeth only ever come in contact with the chain and the metal loop that holds the pendant to the chain. The pendant I explore only with my lips.
Nice to see a synesthesia reference around! I wish schools actually taught about it, I never learned about it until my estranged birth father forwarded me an article about it. I have personification synesthesia, and I thought I was right insane most of my life. My brand of personification doesn’t apply to words/letters, but to images and objects in general. Anything I see somehow has a personality and voice of its own, and sometimes I can even hear them talk. Makes bedtime amusing, hearing the desk and lamp squabbling like old couples. Pretty useful for designing characters, I just give them the personality and voice that the image of them gives me.
Oh… do you have a blog or a web site where you talk about it? I will be lecturing on synesthesia in the last third of my course, and my students always love first-hand accounts! I actually mentioned it in response to a question earlier in the class, and that was met with a lot of interest.
I have a sound-colour synaesthesia that only really works for music most of the time. And a couple other minor ones like some meat smells occasionally cause colours…
I used to think it was just normal until someone came home with “a great article” they found about “a really wierd phenomenon”…
Now I just use it to play up how wierd I am–
!!!!
I get it now! You’re using synaesthesia as symbolic of turning!
Ah, that’s what I’m like in class, only I can only daydream about flying.
cool seeing syn talked about :) my really good friend has it, a few different forms
HMMM…

No, but you can interview me online. the_designist@hotmail.com
Hope it’s not too late.
This is both amazing and very weird.
