This is a good question. I remember when I was young I would try to come up
with cyphers for English.
I suppose it wasn't until I was in 7th grade (1997, I want to say?) that I
started developing a "language". Or more, I began thinking about what makes
a language a language. I eventually did enough searches on "made-up
languages" to stumble upon the fact that it's called "conlanging", and
everything went from there.

Well, I'm a computer geek through and through. I also have an interest in
the Japanese writing system, and so study that from time to time. I watch
anime, spend time with friends, read on occasion (less than I wish). Play
video games, watch Star Trek, do absolute gibberish. Spend time studying
something or the other that seems interesting at the time. So basically, a
lot of random stuff. And Livejournaling.

> (18) Favorite music/artists
Heh. That's incredibly hard to state. Right now, my taste is leaning away
from American music and more for Japanese Anime soundtracks. But I also like
video game remixes and some more "normal" artists (Dream Theater, for
instance). I don't play favorites, though I am a large fan of Youko Kanno. I
just like what I like.

I really don't know. I don't think I've ever had a favorite, though I've had
books I liked a lot.

> (20) How'd I get to the list?
Stumbling around online, I eventually found it after crossing through the
Language Construction Kit. I got off because of mail volume things, but
recently came back after I rediscovered it through perusing random links
thanks to the conlang community on Livejournal.

Goatee, I need to shave/trim soon. Glasses yes. Haven't I already answered

Nope.

never been particularly good with political history, but have a strong
interest in math/computer science history.
