I was watching videos on youtube about Synesthesia, a condition where someone's senses are mixed up. Like, when they hear things, they tend to 'see' the sounds in terms of colours. I'm explaining this in really simple terms, before I start to confuse. Anyway, the idea of this condition is that people with Synethesia have special abilities such as seeing
music in
colour, taste music, see
colours in numbers and alphabets, etc. Sounds confusing? Yes, totally. The senses have basically crossed-paths with one another. Read up more about on
Wikipedia: Synethesia if you want, cos' that's not really the point I'm focusing about. HAHA.
Anyway, as I was watching the videos, I noticed how the people with Synethesia would associate specific colours to numbers and alphabets, such as
Yellow to '1' and
Green to 'S', and so on. Then I remembered how I used to see numbers and alphabets as little creatures that have specific genders to them. Get me?
Let me explain. To me, the number 1 is a male. 2 is a female, 3 is a male, 4 is a female, 5 is a male, 6 and 7 are females, 8 is a male, while 9 and 0 are females. 10 would then be a male(1) standing next to a female(0) and so on and so forth.
And, for alphabets:
A-Female
B-Male
C-Male
D-Male
E-Female
F-Female
G-Female
H- Male
I-Male
J-Male
K-Male
L-Male
M-Male
N-Male
O-Male
P-Male
Q-Female
R-Male
S-Male
T-Male
U-Female
V-Female
W-Male
X-Male
Y-Female
Z-Female
Yea, no kidding, I REALLY do see my numbers and alphabets in the own specific genders. And, they will always be in THAT specific gender they are in no matter when and in what context.
I have no idea why I have such associations of genders to my numbers and alphabets, I always thought it was just me being overly bored and having nothing better to do. But having watched videos of people who have the Synethesia condition, I can't help but wonder if my weird habit of giving a gender to numbers and alphabets have got anything to do with it, or maybe some other weirdo psychotic or cognitive condition.
