Call Me Ishmael... or something...

I have noticed that lately, every time I introduce myself to someone, they ask me if I go by Kenzie for short. I don't know what this new obsession with Kenzie is, but I am not a fan. It is not that there is anything wrong with Kenzie in general, it's just, if you know me, you know that the name Kenzie does not fit my personality whatsoever! You know, I think I would even rather that people called me just Z before they called me Kenzie. I guess some people are more into nick names than I am. Usually if someone introduces themselves to me by a certain name, I call them that name even if they tell me I can call them by a shorter version of that name. I think it is just because that is how I know them, and I put that name with their personality, so shortening it would be weird unless I had known them for a very long time. And when I say a very long time I mean like years and years. I don't know. It just seems like, well, my name has been Mackenzie my whole entire life, but it is just this school year that everyone has been asking me if I go by Kenzie. So, the answer is no. Unless you are my three year old cousin, no. You can call me Mackenzie, or Mackie, or Mack, or Z, or even Ishmael, but please do not call me Kenzie.

Hello Again

Okay so I most definitely do not write on this thing enough. My life has changed quite a bit since I was a freshman in college. I am now a Junior and, of course, I have changed my major from Communications with an emphasis in Journalism to Media Music. Although it may seem crazy to some, I love the spontaneity of it. I have not gotten in to the music program yet, so I am basically hanging out in Limbo with nothing to do with my life except sing and write music. So I decided to take up a few fun things in the meantime. I have been studying French! Talk about an awesome language! I have also been taking private piano and voice lessons. That is always fun. I have even taken up guitar! Basically, I think I am just taking this year to renew my love of music. It left for a while, but now it is back. All in all, though, I know for sure that I am where I need to be and I am doing what I am supposed to do. I better love music because I will be doing for the rest of my life. And, like a typical musician/writer... I have yet to find a job. I have had plenty of experience interviewing in the past few months, but I haven't found anything. I have a job interview tomorrow that I am looking forward to. I hope I get the job. I hope I get a job. Anyways. I will have to keep updating this thing to get it all up to speed. I think tonight, though, I will just start with updating my profile picture.
