Oh, I do love classical music (though I, too, have difficulty finding the right things: I tend to like things which are more stripped down; Bach's suites for solo cello do things to my heart -- but then Dad & I were watching a documentary about Stanley Kubrick, and they were playing some of the classical pieces he used in his films, mostly bits of symphonies?, anyway all very full orchestra, and I fell in love with them, despite having heard most of them in the background of things many times before). Only the kind of music I would presumably play were I to work at it, and the sort of voice I already have, is decidedly un-classical, so I wouldn't want to re-train it too much? But I'd love more control, and playing around with music is fun anyway.

Our local chain of Goodwills apparently has contracts with a lot of department stores, so they get overstock and slightly damaged goods all the time, meaning brand new clothes with the tags still on (and adorned with very terrifying prices!), although several of my favourite finds have been handmade -- I have a hand-knit green shawl that I have been wearing constantly in this weather, and a very odd long dress with lace-trimmed flowing sleeves that makes me look like some kind of freak-folk chanteuse. Only people keep asking me if I knit the shawl myself, and I have to keep telling them I didn't ... Mum gave me crochet hooks for Christmas. I need to become more crafty, to defend my indie street cred!

Heh heh: I bought the wedding dress for the sole purpose of camwhoring, and there is evidence, somewhere ... Alas, I haven't had a completely functional tripod in a very long time, or else I would model my finds for the f-list more often. ;)
