Am I the only one that thought the sharp shape was Kiki because the K in the name is a sharp shape and the B is a round shape?
That`s how I rationalized it..

Anyway, this is remarkably interesting and inspiring stuff. Thanks for the upload! 5/5

i feel letters, numbers, musical key signatures and chords, and some words in my stomach. I associate many words with beauty, expecially "eloquence", many french words, and other words lacking plosives, letters which stop the flow of air in a word like b and p. I can "feel" the keys of music and have favourite numbers and letters. I even have trouble writing large of amounts of consequetive 3`s by hand because it can, and has, made me feel physically sick in the past. Dichords have before made me keel over with the sheer intestity of of the `crunches`.
