Any comments? There are comments all over the place. What are you asking about specifically?

Ankhros,

You have me laughing At the clothing question, I almost responded "yes, I wear them"

I'm glad you enjoyed it. What's with that instrument question? It's like "Will you show me yours if I show you mine?". So inappropriate. Actually, I guess it depends on who's asking.

Well it's fine if you ask. I probably could be musical if I wanted to be, but I don't. Lots of people in my family are though. I'm a visual artist and a writer (which could also count as visual art).
