[Sano Parmandil]

... when you revive a topic like this one because you thought it was interesting and you want to see what others will put. sweatdrop

...when you stare at a doodle in your notebook and decide that if you pull apart those lines, you'd get a cool alphabet, but with too few letters, then spend the next hour thinking of all the ways to make that work instead of taking notes (in one of your Core Classes)

... When you start translating your favorite songs into your conlang.

... When you grow to like your conlang's version of said song better than the original. (*coughcolorsofthewindcough*)

I love that song, so of course I must ask if I can see your version xd


... When your parents ask you what you want for Christmas and you tell them you want a dictionary in order to have an always on hand list of words to be added to your conlang.

... When, in the course of reading this list, you see more than a few things that make you say, "Hey, that's a good idea!"  

[Henneth Annun]

When you make verbs for things ridiculous things like "to shove a banana down a pipe" or "to make breakfast on (and only on) friday".
