Synesthesia is cool. It creates a seemingly senseless array of predilections, aversions, and precautions. Here's an amusing breakdown of my sensory likes and dislikes, because i'm a self-indulgent git:

Best phrase ever:
"isthmus crypticus"

Colors, in order of least to most pleasant:
Orange
Brown
tan
yellow
pink
fuschia
green
turquoise
violet
blue
indigo

Top 5 pleasing sounds:
tabla drums
x, sh, s, th sounds in english
shattering glass
flowing water
the "Whomp" sound of something ingniting swiftly

Best sensations:
someone sucking on my toes
sticking my hands in a bag of rice
running my hands over short, thick, curly hair or a buzzcut
someone scratching my head
hanging upside down (love that gravity shift!)

Unpleasant:
Crowded airports, hallways, cafeterias, etc
orange
feedback or static on sound systems
the letter f and the letter p
buzzers
grit and sand on my skin
