grapheme–color synesthesia and ordinal linguistic personification together explain why 1 is male. 2, female, 3 female, 4 and 5 male (although 5 has some feminine tendencies), 6 is a guy, 7 a girl (bit of a tomboy, that one), 8 and 9 and 10 are all male. january and february are male, march is a girl but april's a boy. may is female, as is june, but july is a guy. august is androgynous. september's a woman, october and november are boys, and december is somebody's grandmother. letters and numbers all have colours and also, personalities. 7 is a girl, she tries hard but can't always fit in, sort of a loner but not exactly lonely, has an apartment in the city. i am not shitting you. that is 7's story. 6 is a affable guy, lives in a small town, sits on several committees and councils, played football in high school, bit of a glory-days'er. 4 is trustworthy while 2 is shifty and secretive. 8 and 9 are a pair, what a handful they are! okay, i will stop, but see, that's how it is all up in here. and it's not just numbers and letters and months and days of the week -- inanimate objects get caught up in things too. that's why sometimes i am sad throwing things away. i am not a hoarder, mind you, but it's just that i'm sometimes concerned my grocery list will get lonely without me.

perhaps i have said too much....
