You know, the passion for classical music and theatre and opera and so on kinda runs in the family for me as well. Both my mum and dad studied music at their local conservatory, when they were young, and I too followed in their steps, even if we all stopped before graduating. I still miss it, sometimes, but it got to a point where I couldn't handle the stress of attending two schools at the same time - and having to excel at both, 'cause I'm just a boring perfectionist like that - and so I chose to keep (most of) my sanity and I quit. :( But anyway, back to the main topic, I guess at first there also was a kind of... professional interest, I might say, in going to the theatre as often as I could, you know? Then it just grew on me, and I'm really glad it did. ;) Btw, your granduncle story sounds AWESOME! Someone (I'm looking at you, young lady) should write down his adventures, I'd sure love to read them! *w* And find out all the saucy details about flirty ballerinas, of course... ;P
I'll be honest: I've got two - well, I guess I can say three, now - cats and I love 'em to bits. But they're so perceptive and intelligent that sometimes they almost manage to scare me. That is to say: I feel you, Crimilde! XD
As for the fic, well, you already know. Well done, darling! ;)
