Yet another homecoming
This time to Portage, the center of the universe. On the 11th, I fly.

To prove it, I go to school with a Finnish man who has been through Portage, and will do so again this summer. Finland is not really so close to Wisconsin, but he's been to Portage.

Anyway, I decided to grace the internet with my shining face once again. I've got a new crush, but nothing interesting to report...

Hmmm... What else is new? One exam left... Got good grades on my papers, which is nice, because I actually worked hard on them.

I've been inventing a language in my free time. It's almost as messed up as finnish but not quite. Basically, it takes all of my favorite traits from Indo-European languages and mixes them together, along with a few extra verb moods and a couple more cases above the eight of Russian. The pronunciation is the vowels as in Spanish, the consonance as in English with a few exceptions (the 'r' is rolled softly, the 'j' is as in French, and the 'x' is as 'ch' in German), and a light accent is placed on the second to last syllable. The roots come mostly from Greek, some from Latin, and a very few from Danish and German. Three Genders. Tons of rules, but once you know them, they're all regular... and the homage to Danish, the definite article ('the') is placed on the end of the word.

sovibesorito means "I personally need to sleep more". Initially, most of the grammatical inspiration came from my Greek studies, but as the grammar was developing, I started reading a little about Finnish and Japanese Grammar and some linguistic theory, which lead to some really crazy ideas. Maybe I'll publish the grammar on here when it's in a more final form.

What are my plans for it? Just to please myself I guess. Maybe if I write a work of fiction than needs some other language in it. I like the idea of writing a journal in this language. Javant Biarujia invented a private language because, he said, "public words simply could not guarantee me the private expression I sought." I like that idea.

I hope to do some theological writing this summer.
