What I do is, I pick the chords that I want and get them in the piece without thinking about classical harmony. [/b]

I suspected that was the case. That's precisely how I compose as well! No wonder I liked your music! =D I actually find if one thinks about classical harmony too much you're going to use too many circle of fifths and thirds progressions, and too many dominant seventh preparations etc. those get annoyingly boring after a while, I like to spice things up by going anywhere from anywhere. Such changes can make just as much musical sense as normal diatonic stuff, in fact often more sense because it expresses something with startling color.
