Haha, yeah it's not exactly a poor-quality output--I've been rightly denied a couple times--but it does publish some shit.

In 3rd grade, my teacher constantly wrote me up for daydreaming too much in class. I was supposed to be doing my work, but I couldn't help it.

I still occasionally daze out and get lost in my own mental imagery; thinking about ideas for films or short stories. It can really piss friends off sometimes, because it can be hard snapping back to reality.

I think that's why I can't draw very well. I can't
"picture" things in my head.

It's super super easy to remember chords, names, phone numbers, words, etc. and it's really easy to spell things. The only time it's really distracting is at night when I'm tired... it basically overloads and my entire line of vision is covered in some silvery blob.
Also, thanks to my synesthesia, it's easy to put chords and harmonies together.

i use it to remember things too, like names... it also influences my drawing, since the music inspires me in a way (giving me images and colors to work with)

Also (not accusing anyone of anything) I feel like people lie about having synesthesia in the same way people used to always lie about being klepto and pyromaniacs in middle school.

Haha. Yeah. That's lame. I can remember from when I was VERY young and I didn't even know what the hell synesthesia was... I remembered names from colors, and I always got Stephanie and Rachel mixed up because Stephanie is a reddish-purple and Rachel is a blue-purple.
I remembered songs from the overall color I got from them.
And I hate the way certain words look. Meal being my least favorite word ever because of this, followed by panties.
I didn't even know it was a condition until I was 14.

What a strange condition! So when you think of the name Stephanie, you get a mental image of the reddish-purple colour or do you just think of the colour everytime you hear that name? Does shortening the name to Steph give you the same colour?

I knew a guy who said he had a condition where he would read a sign back to front or smtimes when he was listening to people speak he would involuntarily get the words of the sentence mixed up, either confusing him or amusing him.

The only sort of synesthesia I experience is number form. I see numbers sort of like this..

 

It actually helps a lot with remembering dates and ordering them chronologically. From a history student's perspective it's great.
