About Me

I'm really nothing like I let on to be. I tend to keep everything to myself, and I like it that way. I don't like how people flaunt themselves... it leaves nothing to be discovered or explored. I wish the world were a bit quieter. Maybe then I could get some sleep... if my mind ever stopped wandering.
I don't have all the answers. In fact, most times I don't know where to begin.
I have a lot of things to say, but no thought of time in which to put them. I procrastinate as if tomorrow is always guaranteed, I live like the hours will never get the best of me. But they do. I wish things would simply stop when I wanted them to, for my life is beautiful when things are good and completely horrible when things are bad. I am full of highs and lows, with no one to fix that, nor to whisper, "It's okay for change." And even if the winds shook the trees of their leaves and the branches reminded me of how stark and lonely things can be, I would find solace, and not the advice I want to be given. I tend to feed into too many details and lose what it so obvious, and most days I don't regret this. I find messages in coffee grinds and through layers of dust on furniture. So many things are left uncherished. Everything means something, and I can't help but to analyze and hold these things to heart. Sometimes it feels like that's all I really have.

My Interests

Caffeine, jeans, cute shoes, and butterflies in my stomach. Photography, cloth diapering, breastfeeding, babywearing.

I'd like to meet:

I look forward to getting to know my son more and more every day. He's so small and already has so much personality and I know he's going to just bloom into someone so caring and intelligent. He's the best thing in the world. And other moms, other babies, pretty much anyone, really. :] I've already met the person I want to be with will be with the rest of my life. Soon I will be Mrs. Christian Daniel Kauffman, and I wouldn't want to be anyone else. :]

Music:

Anything that makes me feel real.

Movies:

Babel. Big Fish. Born into Brothels. Closer. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Everything is Illuminated. Girl, Interrupted. I ♥ Huckabees. Me and You and Everyone We Know. One Hour Photo. Requiem for a Dream. Saw I, II, III and IV. Silent Hill. Stranger than Fiction. The Illusionist. The Motorcycle Diaries. The Science of Sleep. The Shawshank Redemption. The Virgin Suicides. What Dreams May Come.

Television:

too much.

Books:

not enough.

Heroes:

Because we make the cutest sadfaces everrr. :] Oh, and because we're getting married, and love each other to death, and are gonna have pretty babies! ♥

smoke, sleep.

The smell of smoke is seeping under my door, it doesn't care if I want it in my presence or not. Stale feelings are creeping into my lungs and I'm beginning to choke. This is too much. I am havin...

I want something more.

Do you ever find yourself in a moment where, it's as if everything goes quiet, and nothing much matters but what is slowly passing you by... as if you recognise some reality of the world in such a dre...
