Welcome to the noble fraternity of geeks (and sorority, let us not > forget Nora K.B.). .iacu'i Don't tell me that I was the only girl on this list before Naomi came along... I mean, come on. Sure, there's a bit of a skew in the distribution. But me being the only female (and then only when I feel like it)? Recockulous. :P ^_^;; > > > Did anyone ever attempt to recuit their friends to Lojban?

I think I've managed to recruit two; one likes it because, to her, it feels a lot like Scheme (which she has a passion for)--and the other is the first's roommate. I'd like to eventually have enough skill in myself and enough interest on campus to be able to teach an extracurricular class on it (or even have Lojban Club!) but I know that such things are, shall we say, not so likely. Usually, people whom I tell about it seem to think that Lojban is an interesting idea, but I get the feeling that most are "too busy" to look at it further. That and I forget to inform them that it's supposed to be easy to learn. > > > I wonder when Lojban WILL become widespread. After I take over the world, baby. Uh-huh-huh. mi'e .noras.
