You take voice lessons? How lovely! I should like to, sometime -- not for classical music, but just to make the best out of my voice (I am told it is rather good and I do love singing) and have more fluidity. And something else to blog about. :p

Thrift stores are my very best friends! (SEAHORSE earrings, though!! Blimey! ^-^) My small & culturally flat town has a staggering amount of interesting used clothing -- I have a fifty-cent wedding gown in my closet.

i do take voice lessons, & i could not love them more! even if you are not a classical music fan (although this, i'm afraid, is the part where i tell you that i thought i wasn't either, at first, and then it turned out i'd just been listening to the wrong things), understanding your voice better & being able to control it better is a desirable thing for any sort of singer ( ... )

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 ( ... )

You have a Moleskine with memo pockets, yes? (I think I heard about them from you.) How much do you use it? Am so very tempted to get one of my own (pockets! lots of pockets!) but am balking a bit at paying $15 for a bunch for pockets. Worth it, y/n?

oh dude, i love it. admittedly i work at a barnes & noble, and thus only paid six or seven bucks for mine after my employee discount, but it's pretty fabulous. idk what you're thinking of using it for...? but i use mine to sort receipts by category (food, transportation, toiletries, &c) and it's pretty much perfect for that.
