Re: OT-ish:Conlang Census

> (14) Favorite color:
Wasn't this in part one?  :)  Green.  Bright Kelly green, not olive drab
(blecch) or pure #00FF00 (which is too yellowish).

1968 May 5.

> (16) Conlanging since:
Hm.  Sometime in elementary school.  Created my own alphabet, my own
calendar (so I guess I was conculturing, too), and then my first
"conlang", which was just a pronouncible cipher of English.  First
real conlang was in junior high, prompted by the discovery of Esperanto.

> (17) Other hobbies:
All things language-related; clocks, calendars, and timekeeping systems;
computer programming (my vocation, but also an avocation as I do it for
fun when not on the clock); drawing; playing (badly) the guitar and
keyboard; reading about all sorts of things, from linguistics to
mathematics to physics to history - also fiction, preferably SF, and
including comic books; video games; TV ("Good Eats" is one of my
favorite programs although I never cook - go figure).

> (18)  Favorite music/artists
Longtime fan of the "progressive rock" band Rush, the "alternative"
group They Might Be Giants, the a capella stylings of the Bobs.
But I like pretty much everything: ABBA, Bach and Beethoven,
Crash Test Dummies, Duran Duran, Enya,

Oooh.  Two of my favorite songs are "Makkana Sukaafu" from Uchyuu Senkan
Yamato ("Space Battleship Yamato"; I also like the main theme) and
"Honoo no Takaramono" from Rupan III: Castle of Cagliostro.

> (19) Favorite book:
_The_Princess_Bride_, by William S. Goldman.  Even better than the
movie. :)

> (20) How'd I get to the list?
Random websurfing on the topic of constructed languages . . . first
found it on Yahoo!, discovered I couldn't post, and then found the real
thing. :)

> (21) Beard/Glasses?
Another repeat!  Goatee for the past year and a half, full beard for
the 15 years before that.  And yes to glasses.

> (22) Smoker/Alcoholic?
Nope.
