Synesthesia, part II

[theyellowhobbit]

I realized that the days of the week also have colors. The months of the year I see in a geographical space- I used to live on a street called Martha Circle, which is a circle just like the name implies, so the different parts of the year are visualized as going around the circle clockwise. For the Barrington people who would actually get what I'm saying- January starts off on Wedgewood [the street next door], February and March are in front of my [former] house, April is sorta between our [former] backyard and the Whitehead's yard, May, June, July, and August go in front of their house towards the Smiths, August is sorta in front of where that shortcut to nerdx111's backyard is, September, October, and November go around the fron of the Smith's house and then December is also on Wedgewood. But that actually all can change and I also visualize it in terms of being at Penn... It might defy explanation. And the months also have colors.

Here are the days of the week as best as I can present them:

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday


And now a sentence:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Except the colors are all wrong since LJ doesn't have an infinite amount of colors and I don't know the HTML for others. And I see the letters in black and white. But then it switches. Like C is black with an undertone of blue. But I don't even think of it as blue so much as C-colored, even though C is blue (C is actually the only blue letter I have.)

The colors on the examples look really ugly. It's much prettier in my mind. I don't think any of those colors are accurate.

Gah. I give up for now. Maybe if someone gave me a box of crayons or pastels or something I could try and sketch it out, and then use the museum library scanner and post it here. But until then, you'll have to live with the inaccurate representation here.

The title character in L.M. Montgomery's The Story Girl saw people having specific colors. You'd probably like the book -- same author as Anne of Green Gables.

Hebrew months?

overlapping the english months on the same scheme, plus the holidays have colors. Hebrew month colors don't corrospond with english month colors.

Hmmm...

Cool. Let's see if I can come up with a piyyut appropriate for this one.

i think you should wait for the proper colors and descriptions of them

You're assuming I'll figure out the correct colors. I'm still not sure how to represent the duality of the colors, being both whatever they're written in and their synesthetic color at the same time. I feel like it's impossible to explain. Kind of like if you were colorblind I would not be able to explain what Red is because you have no way of visualizing it.

The more I write about this the more crazy it seems. Especially the whole locational calendar thing.

And by the way, the colors of your LJ name work quite well.

ooo

?

Kinda. Except that there's also blue in there. The Os are blue [the color that your lj name appears in] in this case. I'm not sure why. And the colors for b and p and k are wrong, but that's my fault. Or LJ's fault. Even the R should be a more blueish purple...
