acoustic music is like fine wine... it all seems the same, but only to the untrained eye

About Me

i'm Leanne... i have a weakness for Barnes & Noble Classics; coffee/tea of any sort; depressing music, indie music, european music, music my boyfriend gives me, or all of the above; crying due to the awesomeness of a song, short story, or poem - and not being (more than a little) ashamed to admit it; Victorian lit; cloudy days; and boys who are cute and freckled and nice and smart and stylish and named Derek. ♥
