En réponse à Thomas R. Wier :


>(14) Favorite color:
Already replied.
>(15) Birthday:
25 March 1976.
>(16) Conlanging since:
Probably around 1989-1990. I remember beginning conlanging during Latin classes (boring not because I didn't like the language but I found the classes went too slowly for me :)) ). My first conlangs were Latin relexes mostly, with sometimes things like "instrumental" and "allative" which were the most exotic things I knew about language at the time :)) .
>(17) Other hobbies:
Movies, Internet surfing, playing with my Gamecube, reading, learning about typography, watching anime and tokusastsu, etc... My days are full!
>(18) Favorite music/artists:
I am extremely eclectic. I don't have a particular favourite genre. Only Jazz and Blues I really don't like. For the rest, I fall for songs rather than for artists or genres. I do have some leanings towards musicals though :)) .
>(19) Favorite book:
It has to be The Neverending Story. The movie is also my favourite movie. But that's because I have a peculiar link with that story (which would deserve a long post to explain, so I'll just abstain for now :)) ).
>(20) How'd I get to the list?
I think I must have arrived in 1998 or 1999, don't remember exactly. I've been mostly on since then, only going nomail when I moved or went in holidays.

I'm good at citing facts "just like that", but visualising things is difficult for me. It was a relief when we learned Cartesian geometry at school. Replacing geometry with number-crunching was a blessing! :)) . Christophe Grandsire. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
