mi'e la nei,omis...and that's as far as I will delve into lojban,
before i make a fool of myself unwittingly ;) I am 15, am from
Australia, and am NOT a geek (*gasp* surprise!)...I consider myself to
be a comfortable black-box user with amateur HTML skills, but no
further. I have been working studiously through the chapters of the
beginners' section as something interesting and fun to fill in my time
on weekends and on the school-bus. And that's about my introduction...

Lojban is a wonderful, many-layered jewel of a language. I'm loving it. 
If I have one setback about the language, that is the huge amount of
cmavo that I have to memorise with each chapter; but I love the precise
distinctions that Lojban makes between different conontations of the
same English-equivalent: it gives us dim-witted English-speakers
something more to think about :p

Did anyone ever attempt to recuit their friends to Lojban? I sure
tried, but they think that I'm wasting my time on it o_0...well, when
Lojban becomes well-known in 50 years time, THAT will show them,
alright :p

I wonder when Lojban WILL become widespread. When that day comes, what
will we, the early birds, be known as? The 'first thousand'? Would we
get any special treatment for having studied the language for years
before it came to everyone else in the world?
