Youniverse

sup msn. i have it. if we actually talk, ask me for the email. :D

build up my hopes
then knock them down
i guess it's easy to forget me
when i'm not around
so string me along
and make me think you care
as soon as i start to fall
i look and you're not there.

anyway, back to the "about me" intro... you could probably already tell by my username that i'm kalen. i'm 17 - i know i look way young, but the babyface has been more of a blessing than a curse, so far. anyway, i act older than my age most of the time. i'm a junior in high school. i'd be a senior anywhere else, but we have a weird cutoff date so i started kindergarten later. i live in indiana. yeah, it's definitely not exciting. my family and friends are here, though, so i'm staying put for awhile. after high school, i want to go to la film school so i can work in film production. see, i have a great eye for detail. if you ever watch a movie with me, i'll point out every error. but i still love movies - not so much those mindless comedies that have no point, but more philosophical ones. i can usually analyze characters and situations well enough to enjoy the movie unless there's just no point in it. that's one bad thing about being intelligent - i can't enjoy something if it doesn't make me think a little. speaking of little, i'm not tall at all - 5'5" on a good day. i have dark brown hair that's never above my ears. my eyes change colors with my mood - they're usually a blue-green, though. i had braces, so my smile is all good. i probably have the tiniest hands of any guy ever. as far as body type goes, i'm pretty small. i don't play sports or anything to get ripped. i work out all the time, but sports aren't my thing. i guess i'm just more of a writer. it's not as lame as it sounds. girls seem to like the poetry and songs i write for them. i'm definitely a romantic, which i guess seems kinda weird for a guy to admit. but so far i haven't had any complaints about being a bad boyfriend, at least. and since we're talking romance, i'm single. kinda looking, but fine with it if i don't find anyone right away. i'm a total sucker for big, brown eyes and perfect teeth. i guess that one's just an after-effect of having had braces, though. i tend to fall for girls completely different from me. i'm actually pretty shy, so the outgoing girls are the ones i'm drawn to. opposites attract, right? i fall hard and fast. anyway, i'm mostly looking for friends on here. but who knows? maybe i'll meet the girl of my dreams. there's constantly a song playing in my head, and i'm usually singing along. i don't think i can sing very well, but i like to pretend i can. haha. music isn't my life, but i'll admit that i love it and have really good taste. i don't go anywhere without my phone or my ipod. when i drive, i like to sing along really loudly, dance, and drum on the steering wheel. people seem to be way amused by my car concerts. i also have the worst road rage of anyone i know, so watch out for that. it's my one vice. i'm actually a pretty good kid - at least, i'd like to think i'm nice enough. i mean, i don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. if you do, that's fine. i'm not gonna preach to you. i have my own personal reasons for not messing with that stuff. my 5-year-old brother, kamden, is my biggest fan and best friend. we're really close in spite of the age difference. my mom thinks i'm gonna grow up to be that crazy cat lady (or guy, i guess, considering...) because the two i have mean the world to me. simba and lovegoose are my babies, and i definitely show them plenty of love. i want a dog, but mom said 'no' to that plan. so once i move out to cali, i'll get one and name him baxley. i've had him named for years, haha. i make these wild plans for myself. i'm either ambitious or plagued with an overactive imagination, i guess. but i can be really chill, too. i know when to be crazy and when to be serious. i get along with pretty much everyone, but lately youniverse has plagued me with young girls who lie about their ages to impress me and want to argue when i tell them they act 13. i'm not into that. i don't mean to be ageist here, but if you're under 14 and act like an immature middle school drama queen, we're probably not gonna get along. what can i say? drama is created because people are so bored with their own lives. mine isn't that boring, so i don't need drama. if i'm ever involved in it, it's because we have a serious family problem going on. that's also pretty much the only reason i get upset. my family life isn't great, but whose is? my mom is gone a lot, so i'm kinda raising my little brother. some of my very best friends are my relatives, though. my grandmas are incredible and i'm close to both of them. i was closest with my aunt, but she died recently. i'll tell you all about her, though, if you want. she was the best person i've ever known. :) i should really write a book about her. maybe someday, right? i get along better with girls. it's not that i'm a player or anything. i just understand them better. a lot of guys i know are too apathetic and oblivious to everything. i'm the exact opposite. i'm pretty much comfortable with myself, so i'll show some emotion. just put on a chick flick. haha, no really... those romantic movies always get me. i'll admit it. especially nicholas sparks' stuff. his books are even better than the movies, in some ways. you should read them. and as for reading, i doubt most of you have even read all of this so i'll stop writing for now. if you did read it all, let me know and i'll give you a virtual hug or something. haha. lates.
