LOL... I dunno Y I begun to loff... Well, I love inventing. Story lines, keyboard layouts, automobiles, islands, constitutions, anathomies, languages, college programs, zoos, worlds, math notations, electronic circuits, cultures, operating systems, ... Well, I actually love imaging and designing, I'm not quite good in implementing so most of my inventions remain sketchy. Well, I also love driving fast, chatting off-topic, watching Discovery Channel, listening to people, spending hours on my e-mail or on newsgroups, playing in swim pools... And of course, I love my fiancee. Well, I guess I will post something on marriage on conculture. For those who are interested (I guess only me, but...) the following dates will be important to me: 14th November: Graduation 29th November: Birthday (28) and New Year in the Chleweyic calendar (noon GMT) 8th December: Marriage 24th December: Christmast Eve 31th December: New Year/Century/Milenium Eve </parentesis> Well, conlanging I guess is one of the manifestations of my creative mind. And I seem not to be alone in this vice. Thank you guys! -- Carlos Th who feels too calm about all the coming changes in his life... which panics him.
