There are over 500 of you.

::waves to everybody::

Since I have to write a synopsis of The Mirador today, and since synopsis-writing is an activity which I both hate and am incredibly bad at, I'm going to issue an open invitation:

Tell me something about yourself.

It's an invitation, obviously--nothing even as strong as a request--so if you don't want to, no harm, no foul. But if you'd like to (and this applies as much to the people I know as the people I don't) ... tell me something. Make it as long or as short, as serious or as goofy as you want. If you are a reader who doesn't have a LiveJournal account, that's totally cool, too--just please remember to sign your comment.

Oh, and inspired by mrissa: I used to have very strong synesthesia. I still do, to some extent, with music; I often remember musical themes as shapes in the air. Contrariwise, foods get remembered as music -- garlic and ginger are bass, lemon and sugar are soprano, bread is a nice middle range.

Did anybody else, as a child, think numbers and letters had distinct personalities? Two was female, as was three; five was very male. And the letter "e" in "evil" was itself evil.

Interesting. Music has shapes to me as well, but food doesn't have music. (Colors, maybe.)

Tuesday is blue, always blue. And I love that about the letter "e" - but was it evil in other contexts, or only in "evil"?

I had an entire elaborate system about numbers and their personalities and their home lives (this would be when I was in third or fourth grade, I think). I remember that I wrote stories, with illustrations, though I've no idea what happened to them (::is now hoping madly that they are lost and gone forever, like Clementine::). I can't remember anything in particular about them, except that nines were the best.

Yes! At least the numbers. Equations were about making and breaking families. I'd make up stories with them when I finished the in-class math work early, because I was bored and the teachers wouldn't let me read.
