COLORS

i have a lot of trouble with colors and the holidays.
with St Patty's coming up i am reminded again how oddly situated some holidays are.
For instance, February is a GREEN month, and
yet Valentines [a RED word] is set right smack dab in the middle of it.
Then March - a RED month - contains the holiday, St Patrick's Day which is so obviously GREEN to anyone.
While Easter - with its pastel-ness of sound - fits very nicely into soft watercolor April.
['course when it falls in March i am again bothered]
Don't get me started on having a red, white, and blue holiday at the beginning of another GREEN month!

my feeling is that synaesthesia is actually the way we were meant to perceive....with all senses [one could of course argue that mayhaps i have boundary issues too :0) ].
but how cool is it to see hear feel smell even taste things?
it is. cool.
as a child it really disturbed me [have you noticed that "as a child" i was disturbed a lot?] ... anyway i was upset that the little underpants with the days of the week embroidered in colors on them were so far off from how i perceived them.
SERIOUSLY now. it was like someone just listed colors [and not consistently i might add] and then hooked week day names to them.
like: sunday - purple / monday - red / tuesday - pink .. etc.
had they consulted me i would have told them that, even if boring and repetitious, they would be more accurate were they to use the 'right' colors:
Sunday,Monday, Thursday = yellow, Tuesday = red-orangey, Wednesday = definite red, Friday and Saturday= white.
it has been quite interesting having these little picadillos all my days.
i read a book called The Man Who Tasted Shapes about 10 yrs ago and that was the first inkling i had that others are as crazy as i am!
what a great discovery.
