Alias(es): eh?

Gender: Male
Occupation: College student
Interests: Linguistics (especially phonology/phonetics), political philosophy, economics, sociology, social psychology
Favorite music: Black metal, doom metal, industrial, neofolk, country
Political ideology: I don't know of a good label. I guess I could call myself a postliberal; that's probably the closest I can come to a good label, but nobody knows what that means. I usually describe myself as a paleolibertarian, but I'm economically moderate enough that I probably shouldn't call myself any sort of libertarian.

I assumed linguistics was implicit in Interests

Also, whats up with all the people from Maryland?

I'm guessing whatever you mean by "paleo" isn't what I'm thinking.

What school of economics are you interested in, by the way?

I assume the number of Marylanders is related to how boring Maryland is. Hopefully, I will not be stuck here too much longer.

Alias(es): picnick, nicksponge, plain old Nick.
Location: Tri-Cities, British Columbia, Canada, eh?
Date of birth: 2/2/1995
Gender: Male
Occupation: Student
Interests:
Academia: Conlanging/worlding/scripting, Linguistics, Polyglot-ism(?), Ancient History, Anthropology, Cartography, etc.
Recreational: Fencing (sabre fencing, in particular), (attempting to) write novels, playing piano, pets, eating food, torturing travelers that wander too close to my fortress, and cooking.
Favorite music: Contrary to what seems to be "popular" belief, I like pop music and really don't think it's that bad. Top 40, all that kinda stuff. I also like K-Pop (Korean pop music).
Political ideology: Democracy's pretty good, although I'd like to see more direct democracy. Also, let's just say I think capitalism leaves a lot to be desired (but I'm not very familiar with political topics, so don't try and engage me in debate).
Conlangs: Aentoui, Yizda. I still have a ways to go to complete this chart.
Other hobbies: I kinda already did this in interests, but fencing and writing really are my two other hobbies.
Where do you see yourself in ten years? Hopefully with all my limbs intact.
At least one book published, if not three, and studying either linguistic anthropology or foreign relations training at some uni.

And yeah, what's up with all the Marylanders? You guys should have some sort of club where you meet in coffee shops wearing turtleneck sweaters and discuss syllable structure.

by Crumbs
Location: Massachusetts
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Occupation: Student
Favorite Music: I love all sorts of music. Pretty much anything with a melody and some energy, though I really like the sound of bagpipes and accordions.
Political Idealogy: Liberal libertarian. Democracy is better than everything else, though I hate representatives. I also don't like how people vote eith their hearts and not their heads ("oh yeah, I love XXXX, he has a truck!" or "I don't have a job, it must be the gov'ts fault, completely disregarding that the DOW has gone up 11% in the last year!"). I also think capitalism is amazing.
Religion: Atheist. It's stupid to be that certain, I know, but truthfully I don't care. As far as religious communities/orginizations go, I'm a UU, but that's more of a system of Ideals than of beliefs..
Interests: I love math and writing.
Hobbies: Creating and learning. Ie, Conlanging, conworlding, programming hacking, etc go into the first category, and reading, browsing the interwebz, etc go into the second one. I also like playing games (computer and rl), but I can't think of a nice generalizaton for that.

Location: Massachusetts
Date of birth: Sept 1970
Gender: M
Occupation: Fencing instructor, Ebay seller, photographer
Interests: Conlanging (duh), linguistics (primarily Nostratic theory), guitar playing and composing, early Christianity, politics, Austrian economics, fencing (foil, epee, rapier, and longsword), physics, foraging and primitivism

Political ideology: Anarchist
Conlangs: Vanyal is the best developed but there are a dozen others in various stages of development.

Where do you see yourself in ten years? I always get this one wrong. My dream is to have a subsistence farm in Wyoming but I'm not sure how realistic that is within 10 years.
