Exactly the Same. But not. |
Hello. My name is Lesley. I'm from Blackpool, went to Uni in Brighton, and lived in Seattle for a year. Not sure where I want to be now. I like: sleeping reading talking dancing hugging eating drinking listening wishing watching pretending avoiding internetting verbing I also like: making brownies. planning holidays. books. words. cups of tea. crumpets. the phantom tollbooth. mashed potato. my bed. cocktails. sharp cider. good beer. euphemisms. snow. sunshiney days. talking bollocks. |

And it does so in an unflinchingly, unapologetically real way.
