perhaps this sensation is
aquired
from shelving books for a living
i don't know
but i've noticed that letters and numbers seem to have this permanently
affixed expression. some of them look happy. some of them look proud.
some of them look angry. some look goofy.
let's look at the alphabet first:
A. A looks rather bold, very Assertive. nice and angular, it looks sturdy
and reassuring.
B. B has an attitude. i don't know why. probably because B came in
second to the A. B is definitely a male Letter, and also a GreyFaced Letter.
C. Cis pretty much just chillin there. "Okay, i didn't get to the front, but
hey, i could be a lot farther into the alphabet than i am." says C, and smiles.
D. D is a very happy Letter. you can tell. That's why we use the D when
we do the emoticon for a big, shit eatin grin. :-D
...
X, Y, Z, Q.
these are just the Weirdo Letters. They don't Fit it with the other letters'
expressions. they stand out, like individuals in a high school. They Know
that they are different and they like it. i deem these letters to be Discordian
Letters.
then there are some numbers, too that do this.
1. 1 seems a very arrogant number to me for some reason.
2. the number 2 strikes me as condescneding. though happy. though
still condescending.
3. 3 to me seems to be one of the jokers among the numbers. i mean,
i looks like a butt...it looks like boobs...it looks like a backwards E. it even
looks like a side-ways nut sack. anything that looks like anatomy can't be
taken too serious. though i'd watch out for masons while dealing with 3's.
4. 4's seem like A's to me, prolly from hanging out with hackers. when i
see a 4, i think..."hey, it's an A, only it's moving!"
etc
I wrote something about this in this thread (http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=885) though my impressions of the alphabet were a bit different.

I.M.N.S.
Inner power banishment of sensuality?
7 looks very untrustworthy, like it is just waiting for you to let down your guard and then BLAAAM!
Hey cool! The numbers and letters for me have gender and color, and personality to some extent. I don't shelve books for a living.
I think we have an interesting and more recent thread on synaesthesia where the discussion went a little more into depth on it. I'll see if I can dig it up and revive it.
