Subject: Numbers & Letters
I was discussing this with some friends the other day:
When you were a kid, did you ever associate your numbers & letters with colors and genders? i.e. here's my list:
1-black boy
2-blue girl
3-green boy
4-purple girl
5-red boy
6-blue boy
7-orange girl
8-black boy
9-purple boy
0-yellow boy
A-red girl
B-orange girl
C-black boy
D-green boy
E-yellow-green boy
F-green boy
G-red boy
H-yellow girl
I-black boy
J-red boy
K-orange girl
L-blue boy
M-red girl
N-orange girl
O-yellow boy
P-purple girl
Q-blue girl
R-red girl
S-blue girl
T-green boy
U-pink girl
V-yellow girl
W-orange girl
X-black boy
Y-yellow girl
Z-black girl
Some also have personalities-like M bosses N around, and O is really shy and so on.
i KNOW I'm not the only one who does it!...

Uuuuuuuh Nope. In fact I've never known anyone who does that, it seems rather strange to me.
Subject: Re: Numbers & Letters
I guess the only thing I think is that even numbers are female, and odd numbers are male.
Subject: Re: Numbers & Letters
I only associate with numbers are things like....
Two Fat Ladies - 88
Unlucky For Some - 13
Two Little Ducks - 22
I'm going to be ace at bingo when i'm a lot older ;D

And I thought it was just me..! I never ascribed numbers to male or female but to light and dark...
1-dark
2-light
3-light
4-light
5-dark
6-light
7-dark
8-dark
9-light
0-light
Don't now why..no practical use for it.
Now, just tell me what all those little, squiggly threads are that zig-zag around when you close your eyes...
Subject: Re: Numbers & Letters
That's just dirt and dust particles in your eye.
I asked my sister about this and she said she does it and also pitches are assigned colors, but they're totally different from what I have. My "musical" alphabet goes like this:
A-purple
B-orange
C-black
D-turquoise
E-lime green
F-yellow
G-red
As for sharps and flats, they're just black.

Well I know that 7 is a cannibal.
Why? Because 7 ate 9!!
And B is a really hot letter
because it makes oil boil.
O.k., cr4p jokes I know

This one's for Dave...
Actually, Dave, I've seen little squiggles since I was at least three years old, and not necessarily with my eyes closed; actually, now, that I'm older, they look like what you see in your science books (like, magnifications of bacteria strains, or something...) I thought maybe that was what the optometrists refer to as "floater," but I could be wrong...
Probably not what you were seein' huh?

I read something about those once. Apparently, they're actually clumps of dead cells that form while you're in the womb. They're quite harmless. They just float around in your eye, and now and then you see them as they pass across the pupil.

You know those are really annoying though! Cuz like once you notice you got one right at the moment, it's very hard not to notice....at least not until something else distracts you.

To MystiCofSingcratia, that's exactly what I'm talking about.
To QueenAmenRa, yeah, and you can't get a good focus on them because they're always moving and disappear to the side, usually, for me, left to right.
