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

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!
