Well, I'm not exactly proud of my first language, too.
I made it when I was a kid and it's some sort of Romance
language, called "Allic". It had almost no words, but
large inflexional tables.

Nothing strange about that. Some people have really
wonderful, fully elaborated concultures; but many others
never cared to add a culture to their languages, while
others (myself included) created nothing but a very
basic thing with no other purpose than to serve as a
vehicle for the language.

Which means that you are far from new in the conlang
world. But, welcome anyway ;).

Half-silly? On the contrary, you made a grand entrance
with the invention of the word "lablang".
