*raises hand*
I didn't know that is was unusual until college, I was working on a project with a psych major (I was in mathematics so her world was forign to me) and I mentioned that we should alphbetize it by color.
she almost had a coronary. it was aparently something she was deep into researching and from then on I'm pretty sure she was studying me haha.
for me:
Numbers and letters have color (usually extremely unique, except that 6 and R are exactly the same shade of yellow, so i'll get confused and say/write the wrong one.)
Music has color that changes with pitch and texture that changes with tone (cello is "fuzzy", violin is "spikey" although these are kind of rough descriptions)
Time has spatial orientation. Different moments in time are in different "places", everything that has ever happened and ever will happen is happening NOW, it's just not happening HERE, like i'm traveling through this chunk of time. When I go to plan something, or remember something, I feel like I come "out" of the timestream to look at it and get a perspective of that memory or appointment in relation to where I am right now.
Weird, right? Until recently I thought EVERYONE did this.
