My best friend and I had our own written language in year 8. We were studying Ancient Egypt, so we came up with a pictograph system so we could pass notes in class and not get caught.
Paid off when our history teacher grabbed a note we were passing. She was in the habit of reading them out to the class. She swooped on ours with a gleeful grin, picked it up and her face visibly fell. So funny. She looked at us with this look that said "Well...I don't know whether to yell at you, or to be impressed" put it down, and went on with the class.
I can't remember what it said, but it was something about her looking like a freak :)
I can still write/translate the language, but it takes a while to translate...I can do it in my head though.
Edit: Wait, that's more of a code than a language, isn't it? Bugger.
