My number lines aren't that clear, for motnhs, graphemes, time... anything, really. My day goes from bottom to top, months go from right to left, years since 2000 go from right to left, years from before 2000 go from bottom to top, and that's about all I can tell with any certainty. Oh, and with my year, several months occupy the same space, depending on which one you're looking at. Don't ask. |

I have  lines for a lot of different things. They're mostly all just left to right lines, but with variations that are a bit hard to describe. |

My is mostly with months. My months are all colored (mostly yellow or light orange)
January is the starting point and it's redish
Feb. is pink and soft
march is a light magenta
April is yellow
may is a darker magenta
June is yellow (same as April)
July is red (almost the same as Jan.)
Aug. is orange
Sept. is yellow ( different from June.)
Nov. is yellowish, but creamy
December is like a crumpled paper bag. |

I guess I need to add to my syntypes because i have colored months:
January light light sparkly blue
February warm...fushia-ish
March dark green sparkly but also has a slight bit of dark pink
April very light green and yellow
May plain light pink
June medium pink...has some bright green in it too
July red...this is probably SUI because of July 4th
August one of my strongest - dark burnt orange
September light brown/yellow
October black
November Wine colored, with a hint of black (HATE it)
December very similar to January, light blue.
I also have concept lines with months, something that I can remember having as a little kid. Its hard to describe and not really really strong...but its a line going horizontally but also 3D - the months ahead are going away from me, ahead, and towards the right, stopping at December, and the months passed are away from me but behind and towards the left up to January. |

Well, the year goes in two vertical columns (I don't know if it's still considered a concept line), and months are separated by lines. For example: on the top of the first column is January (coloured deep blue), then below is line that separates it from February (purple-blue). On the top of the second column and on the right from January is July (green)...  Whenever I think of Chrismas, I see deep purple December at the bottom of the second column.
And musical notes also form a line from the bottom to top, but some of them shift to the left or right side, so I'm not quite sure about this. |

I don't see this all the time, so I wonder sometimes if I'm imagining it.
My months go from top-left to bottom-right. Part of the month of January looks like it's coming out of a shadow and the end of December looks like it is going into a shadow. There are a few flowers around March and some (what looks like) confetti around the A and P in April. There is a set of double doors set off in the background; I sometimes feel like it is open, sometimes closed.
I described it all here (hopefully you guys can access it).
Again, I don't know if I'm just imagining it because I don't see it like that a lot. If someone says December, I don't see the line, then see December there, I sort of get an orange color and sometimes see the month as if it were on a calendar. Sort of! I'm so confused right now I can't even type it out. If I try to think of it to type it out here, I don't get much of a response, or I feel it is wrong. I dunno. I'll have to keep an eye out for it and report back. |

I've only just realised - so do I. Not all of them, but:
June - slightly darker than sky blue (but that's a bit obvious so maybe not syn)
November - brown (but maybe that's not syn either)
But I don't know if it's the sound of the word or the concept of the month. |

I have a line for just about everything. My most prominent are my year (a scalloped line so each month has its own little 'dip'), numbers (a very complicated line that twists and turns a bit.) and alphabet (another complicated, twisty one).
I really don't know how people do maths without a number line, or can remember dates without an internal calendar. I would be so lost without them! |

Does grouping things together count as syn-lines?
I have very distinct groupings for the letters of the aplabet (with sub-groping and transitional letters, too). The three main ones are A-K/L, L/M-O/P, and P/Q-Z. They even have their own background colors to them. |

I just realized I have a line for the week too!
The weekdays are a line building up to the weekend, then there's a steep incline downward which is the next week. Although I'm going to have to check on this one because it's not the weekday right now.
Now, on the weekend, it's the same thing only rotated 90 degrees towards me - it now has depth. it's like half of an oval, with the more pointy end near me, and the other ends going into infinity. though it's a little twisted, not perfectly centered, since it's sunday (the end of the weekend). This probably makes no sense to you reading it...it's hard to describe  . |

I have lines for the week and for the months and the years and just kind of zoom in and out as needed really.
I don't think plain lines are syn though, because everyone seems to have them - it's more the rule than the exception.
If I'm looking into the future, it's going sort of into the distance to the right, when I look into the past, the line (or strip, rather) goes into the distance to the left.
Everything is seen more intuitively than actually seen - like knowing it's there, but not really picturing all the time.
Days sort of have something in the middle of them which is the middle of the day (lunch, changing from morning to afternoon etc.)
Where each century joins, there;s a similar sot of 'bump'/darker area/not sure, as with, when looking at the week, weekends. |

1st one - I agree.
2nd one - That's the same with me! |
