Today's Birthday Message

~~***Happy Birthday to [livejournal.com profile] vensre, my fellow synaesthete!***~~

Yes, Happy Birthday! I don't know you but I snuck a peak at your journal and anyone who reads Hamlet is OK with me!

PS: synaesthete?

What, synesthesia? It's just this thing, y'know?

Curse my colorset's ugly yellow-browns, anyway. Here ye go.  ^_^

Oh, cool site!

Yep, Amy - synaesthesia (with or without the the first 'a', depending on which side of the Atlantic you're on) is a condition in which the senses become somehow mixed, ie sound has colour, or colour has texture or taste. It's more common in women than men, and is hereditary. Having colours for letter, numbers and words is one of the less rare variants. So, as you can see, for [livejournal.com profile] vensre, the letter 'h' is a pale brownish colour, and 's' is black, whereas for me, 'h' is mauve-pink and 's' is yellow. But we both agree that Sunday is pale yellow and white. :)

Thanks so much!! It was a very happy birthday. If slightly nerve-wracking. Posted fic to the public for the first time ever. Eeeeeeyikes.

But there was cake. Two cakes. Wait. Three.

Three cakes? Three cakes?

:)

Congrats on the fic!

Yes! I like to celebrate my birthday over the course of two weeks, and there's always at least three cakes. This isn't the end, yet, either! I'm counting the tira misu even though it was very small, because it had one little candle stuck in the top. And caramel sauce and sprinkles. *floats away in bliss*

Thank you. Thought I was gonna die, but didn't die. Good times. ^_^
