I don't base my conlangs on anything usually, they're all a priori. Though currently I do not have a conlang I'm working on. I also tend to invent writing systems as well just to add more creativeness to it.
I assume you meant to say "I go to college in Boston"? :P My friend and I are taking a road trip to Boston in a few weeks. If you don't mind, can you tell us some nice places to visit and stuff there? We're still way behind in planning our trip.

Hey, I like to conlang too. Do you base yours on anything?
