It would be rather hypo, hipo... dictionary... hypocritical (ugh, I hate it when I can tell that I don't know how a word is spelled) of me to complain since I have done the same.
I'm interested in Esperanto, but my actual skill in it amounts largely to recognizing the name. Probably about ten years ago I got a book out of the library and did the first few chapters, but without practice almost all of it faded away. I do now have a book I grabbed at one of the local used book stores, but at the moment I'm mainly slowly trying to learn Spanish.
I do find the workings of languages to be very interesting to study. If I had more money and time I would take some linguistics classes. Some of the interest has come by way of becoming interested in constructed languages (while a few people have made some money making languages like Klingon and spoken Egyptian for Hollywood, there are a fair number of people who do so just for the fun of it -- one could almost think of these as linguistic fanfics).
Taking a peek over at your LJ and Sheezyart page. Hmm, reminds me I really ought to pull out the drawing tablet I've started carrying and do more. Clutter, oh my, I don't think my bedroom has been uncluttered once since moving in. The rest of the apartment off and on, but my room... ouch.
I ought to start posting weekly scans of something I've drawn (which sounds like an excuse to get a scanner before paying off the other card :/), and something I've learned of Spanish. That way people could poke me if I didn't post something.
Hopefully my love of parenthesis would seem too creepy. *^.^*
