Mmmmmmmmm. Stimmy.

I have always loved LOVED loved looking at rainbow colors. Separate them and meh, but together *WOW*. It looks so good it's almost a physical sensation of pleasantness. I can't describe it.

I also love Koosh balls. They're so sensory-rich. Since I have fairly severe sensory issues with two extremely common things (metal and paper) I need something to cancel that. Sometimes two seconds of contact with one of those will leave me nutty for hours. I accidentally discovered that Koosh balls "cancel" the sensation caused by my hypersensitivities. Very calming and soothing. The epitome of "warm and fuzzy" in terms of inner feelings. I purchased two.

Now...if only I could find a rainbow Koosh ball... :D

Oh, I am so appropriating that phrase into my vocabulary. :D

Koosh balls are pretty cool, I love the way they feel.

I found one of mine at K-Mart and another at Wal Mart. I still can't find the rainbow one, which would be sensory euphoria! Heh, neat to meet other people who share this interest :D

Walgreen's sells big swimming-pool-sized balls with the koosh prickle things on them. I could play with them for hours.
