Heyo, been a while since I posted on the zeeb! Well, my years of inactivity and the whole board reboot thing seem to make for as good a moment as any to jump back on with one of these. So so so:

Basics
Username: Sevly
Birthplace: Nairobi
Place of residence: Seattle
Any particular reason you live there now? For work and to escape the insane cold of where I grew up
Occupation: Soft(ware )E(ngineer)
Pets: Not if I can help it

Identity
Gender: cis male
Sexuality: allo het
Relationship: single
Nationality: Canadian
Ethnicity: Kenyan
Religion: (very liberal) Christian
Politics: ^ (social justice warrior heavy / leftist lite)

Measurements
Age: millennial af
Height: not quite six feet
Weight: under, according to bmi, pfft
Shoe size: annoyingly, not the same on each foot
Blood type: the selfish one (but also the universal platelet and plasma donor!)
Handedness: the boring one (with embarrassing lack of hand-eye coordination in either)

Languages
Native language: English (ostensibly fluent)
Other languages: French (conversationally fluent), Swahili (maternal and yet all but phonetically forgotten)
Your conlangs: Am a "spend lots of time on one" rather than "a little time on many" type 'langer, so only two:
  • Deevi (need to repost the latest on it at some point, but still actively working on it)
  • Zwera (back from CCC, not in active development)
Natlangs or conlangs you have interest in but have never actually learned any of aside from maybe reading a paper on it once: like most all us here, lots, but just offhead:
  • Danish (after a recent trip to Copenhagen)
  • Japanese (which predates my roommates' so-far-middling attempts to get me into anime)
  • Swahili (for obvious reasons)
  • Portuguese, Spanish, Catalan, Italian, Romanian (i.e. all the large Romance languages, by proximity to French)
  • Dutch and Afrikaans (particularly contrastingly)
  • and so on...
Favourites
Favourite language: probably French at the moment, mostly because I'm trying to get to nativesque fluency there before moving on to an L3
Favourite colour: Big fan of purple/pink colour palettes
Favourite food: Increasingly a fan of home food, so probably, hmm, githeri and pilau
Favourite drink: mixed berry milkshakes / sparkling raspberry sodas
Favourite animal: H s. sapiens (heh, even though they're the worst)
Favourite sport: Hard pass all around (like the most of us)
Favourite book: Again, way too hard to narrow down, but most recent picks would be the Imperial Radch and Broken Earth trilogies
Favourite movie: (yet again with significant recency bias) The Incredible Jessica James
Favourite video game: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Either Civ or Sim City / Cities Skylines, I guess, but haven't planned any in a long, long while
Favourite non-video game: Avalon (and social deduction games in general, but I'd argue Av's the best)
Favourite music genre: I am a fan of my four chord songs, ok

Extra Credit
1) Link to the funniest picture you know of on the internet that isn't goatse or in the same spirit.
honestly this would probably be something from SMBC but there are too many good ones to pick
2) What's the most interesting place you've ever been to?
Haven't traveled nearly as much as I would like, but as a city kid I would say that New York, Copenhagen, and Nairobi each have distinct and intriguing elements to them and I would absolutely love to explore as many more metropolises as I can
