9/10. I've heard of synesthesia (I myself have number form synesthesia), but tasting the words is very rare from what I hear.

I always sleep better if I fall asleep while it's light out.

4/10 a lot of people feel better sleeping with no light (not little kids mind you lol)

to be honest, i have my own kind of synesthesia, i like to associate words or names with colors and feelings.

7/10 because while it is still interesting, we now have three people here who have it.

I have never used a swear word, really. (I mentioned this a while ago.)

8/10 because not using swear words is pantsless unusual!


My first major childhood injury occurred when I rammed a drumstick through my eyelid, pretending that the drumstick was fireworks.
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

6/10, I usually can't even eat that much, but I don't want to rate it higher than Arlo's toddler troubles.

Since it seems a common theme now, I looked up synesthesia and found that I may have the sound-color form. One of my favorite parts of the long classical concerts that my parents drag me to is watching the colors dance around the performers. It also seems odd to think that most other people have never seen anything outside of there field of vision.

Edit: Pitch defines color, multiple notes or chords are sometimes shapes.

9/10. That can be achieved while on acid, but having that when not tripping is strange.

I used to climb down the side of my house from a 3rd storey window when I was 10.

9.5/10 That is awesome for some reason I do not fully understand.

I have been to 23 of America's 58 National Parks.

7/10 More unusual than strange, but I'll give you some credit.

My thumbs are double jointed.

5/10, any older and it WOULD be odd.

For the past two years, I've worn nothing but black shirts (aside from my school uniform).

4/10, that's a personal choice, and I've done the same only with blue pants.

My eyes change color depending on my mood. (Not much, but it's noticeable.)

7/10 Because I believe that happens with one of my friends too, but it's pretty neat, and not very common.

Let's see... for four years leading up to my going to school for it right now, I could pick up my bass and essentially learn most songs I heard (pending the difficulty) simply by listening and playing. It weirded out some of my friends.
for some reason when I'm drawing, i subconsciously make the same expression as whatever I'm drawing.
