@People, who have it:
Are you glad that you do or does it annoy you?
I'm glad I have it, for one thing it's interesting to bring up in conversation...it has never annoyed me, I didn't even realize I had it until a friend brought it up one day, and I was very surprised. I had actually suspected that I had sound - color synesthesia, because whenever I listened to music with my CD player (which was often at the time) the songs would seem to have a color. I never really looked into it, but of course later I realized it was the track number, not the music, that had colour. XD

I'm also glad I have it because it is fun to use in art. I already very much enjoy vocabulary and reading, and it gives words another dimension of beauty. (this is one reason it didn't occur to me that "rottingteeth" is not a pretty screen name - the colours overwhelmed the imagery.)

it never gets in the way. although I always "see" the colours when I read, I don't actually see them, they still appear black. I just sortof "know" what colour each letter is, I'm just...aware of it somehow. it's strange o_o
