5'2", 120 lbs.  Onlineconversion.com tells me that's 1.57m and 54.4kg.  Oh,
and since several people mentioned glasses -- I've worn glasses since 5th
grade; luckily they aren't scary-looking thick glasses, but rather nice
ones in fact.  :P

I like agglutinating and fusional languages, although I haven't tangled
with the latter yet.  I seem to use accusative by default, but that may be
only because I haven't really studied other sorts.  As a general rule I
prefer exotic but realistic features -- this applies to such things as word
order, meaning SVO and SOV are right out, as (Mark Baker says) they account
for over 90% of world languages.  Asha'ille itself is VSO, the third most
common at 3-4%.

Bouncing is good; I'm known among friends for silliness in general.  :)
