That's wonderful news, Daniel (I mean, that she is a conlanger. Not that she
didn't tell you until today ;) )!
I have a girlfriend too (in fact I should say: fiancée, since we are getting
married next July), but I absolutely can't imagine her conlanging. She cannot
even understand what drives me into it. No, I would be really really really
surprised if she would suddenly turn out to have been conlanging too... I'd
rather expect the Eiffel Tower to dance a tango!

> I'm so excited! Weee! :)
Hehe. I can imagine!

Hopefully she (what's her name, by the way?) will join us soon, and we will
learn more about Coní.
I guess this makes you part of the third conlanging couple here, after
Irina/Boudewijn and Eamon/Sabrina? Of have I missed something?

Not necessarily. Isn't a closet conlanger something most of us have been, for a
while at least? I don't think I ever discussed it with someone before I joined
the list. Not that my conlanging was that important to me; it was just one of
many hobbies that I paid attention to from time to time. But that doesn't mean
that I kept it a secret or so. It just isn't the kind of subject that comes up
easily in a conversation.
