And what on earth has *that* got to do with the price of tea in China?  I'm
a Protestant Fundamentalist missionary.  And I conlang like a looney-bird.
Everyone in my family knows I conlang they all think I'm weird and they all
think nothing more of it.  I conlang.  My sister and Mom write poetry.  My
brothers play guitar.  My dad burps and scratches.  We all have our
oddities.

Well, doesn't it make you rather heavy?  Isn't it cumbersome?  I've never
enjoied swimming which *is* something my family has never been able to
understand about me.  "We're going swimming wanna come?  No.  You *never*
come.  What's wrong with you. Its fun.  I don't like it. *exasperation*"
