Pretty sweet build, a few things though :
- I would've used those anvils in your storage room as pillars, I do believe they are still usable even if there is a block on top although I haven't tried.
- For the sofas a tip i'd give is that instead of using signs and stairs just place the stairs in opposite ways (Like 1 facing east, 1 facing west then 1 straight forward in the middle) so the corners look like arm rests, only problem is that the smallest possible sofa is 3 blocks wide
- All that stone brick on the exterior is ugly, perhaps make the 2nd and 3rd floors have wooden planks as walls?
I like to keep it just simple though I occasionally do a sign chair. The office didn't come out exactly like I wanted it to, but It's fair and doesn't really matter when you have a town that takes nearly 20 minutes to speed jump from side to the other to.
Exact same here. I just enjoy more being a god and building whatever I want. I still do play survival sometimes, but usually I'm so impatient that I have to switch to creative and add a few things there and here.
Survival's no fun anymore for me either unless it's with multiple people or on Tekkit. But then, still I hop in to Creative more often than not, just because I get to create what I wanted to make faster and more easily. For me, the true entertainment in Minecraft lies in Redstone - and if I can include Tekkit - automated systems and the computers. I found this guy who is a really good robotic programmer a while back and he has never ceased to amaze me with his programming skills. He made a 3D printing program for Minecraft! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuofE9dqiuU

This has always been me. I usually spend so long on one mode before I get bored and need to switch to the other. That being said the only time I play survival on my own is whenever the game updates since I can't go on my servers.
I started trying out the simple texture packs I got a while back... I hate them. Except one, which looks pretty nice and I can use normal render distance with 80 fps. But some of the 1.4 blocks look pink. Is it worth it, or should I stick with default and have short render distance? Because I don't know when it will update, or if it ever will, at that.

You could update the missing textures yourself by replacing the spaces you need with the original Minecraft textures. It's a bit of a crappy work-around, but it will get you the texturepack you want without impairing your gameplay. You could, of course, also attempt to remake those tiles with your own artwork based on what you have in the texturepack, but that's another art entirely.

There's an 'official' tutorial. However, there are certain HD texturepacks that are far greater in size than 128x128 pixels, so I'm not quite sure how you would do those. Try Googling 'making a custom hd texturepack minecraft' or 'how to make custom hd texturepack minecraft'. Those types of searches should get you results.
