Wait wait wait wait wait that's what synesthesia is? Holy shit holy shit I experience that
The song "Because" by the Beatles is purple, and each note is blocky but round shape shape splattered onto black. I see things in my mind that I just cannot explain exactly because it doesn't make any rational sense (It's like hard sharp stabby motions in soft curves!). It's really awesome.
I never knew there was a word for it.
Jens: This is so cool! It's like, a group of people that understand what I see and hear and don't think I'm actually crazy! I understand what you mean, too.

Not as cool as Asperger's!
Zingoleb:
I have a plethora of mental problems. Also, plethora is just fun to say.
I couldn't tell you exactly what I have though, since I have an innate mistrust of mental health care professionals (or whatever the term is), and the last time I tried to see a therapist I didn't have money so I got stuck with this shitty intern who was really uncomfortable when I explained to her that I want to feel pretty, oh so pretty.

As far as I understand it (I could be wrong, but I'm not going to look it up at the moment) with synaesthesia you would actually see the music as a visual manifestation, not picture the colours/shapes in your mind.
WriterofAllWrongs:
Yeah, plenty of people visualize things (like actually in your imagination! Not in front of you physically!) when they are listening to music. That's not very irregular at all. Actually seeing sound is very rare and only the coolest kids have it.
EDIT: Sox I am sorry. I just realized how little sense my post made.
