Which Jane Austen Character are You?



You scored as a Emma Woodhouse 81%


Emma is possibly one of the most loyal characters of Austen, always wanting better for those around her and doing all she possibly can to make it happen. Her motives sometimes get in the way of her good intentions and her own opinions can end up ruling her actions, but she has a good heart. She loves to be social and is welcoming to most, unless they are too silly to tolerate. While she sometimes changes her behavior to make others feel comfortable, she knows who she is and is always bettering herself.

synesthesia "senses coming together”


Ok so this weird fact about me. I have synesthesia, what is that you say??
Synesthesia (or synaesthesia) is loosely defined as "senses coming together”
Its really a rather weird , it only happen once in awhile to me and my particular type is “Emotions -> colors” for example when I am madly in love I feel a color or a color burst go off in my body almost like I am feeling the color. For me love/ romance, are red orange in color and it very a tactile experience, almost like I taste, and touch the color and the color is the emotion, and it is pretty much involuntary. I don’t have this like most synesthetic do, most have Graphemes -> colors

I did not know there was a name for this experience and I never really question if other people had this, I assume it was that way on some level with everyone. I am wondering who out there has had synesthesia experiences or live this way all the
time? This is not the same as smelling bread and remerging grandma’s house. That is a smell (sensation) bringing on an emotional memory or feeling. When the number 3 is red and always has been red. That is synesthesia. Or kissing is green and feels green. That is synesthesia "senses coming together”
So tell me do you have this??
