Who I am

Here is a slight introduction of myself. Let me share with you a bit about who I am or at least as much as I can share with you. You see, I don't even know who I am yet. I'm still growing up, I'm still making mistakes, and I'm still finding my place. To tell you "who I am" when I don't even know who I am would be nothing less than a lie, but I can share with you who I think I am and what I do know about myself.
My name is Mackenzie Dunn. I grew up in a small town in Northern Nevada called Battle Mountain. No, I don't really know what Vegas is like. Yes, I have seen snow. Yes, practically any store is also a casino. Yes, you can buy liquor and alcohol at any time on any day. I'm 19 years old (or so I'm told). My birthday is November 24, 1991. I now live in Elko, Nevada. I work for Walmart as a cashier. Until tomorrow that is. I'm being trained to become an overnight BIT team member. It's a $1.50 raise and the same schedule as my boyfriend (who also works at Walmart). They're also pushing to make me a full-time employee so I can get a full 40 hours every week.
I live with my boyfriend in which we share a house with four other people. These people include Dan (the homeowner), Mike, Steve, and Brandy. My boyfriend's name is Steve as well. So there's two Steves within the household and things become a bit confusing. If you've ever seen Mystery Science Theater 3000, there's an episode called Night of the Blood Beast. In the episode, it appears as if everyone is named Steve. And of course the guys pick up on this and start cracking jokes how everyone is apparently named Steve. I feel this is my life. For not only am I dating a Steve and living with a Steve, but my mother married a man by the name of Steve Stevens (no, this is not a joke), and I run a blog on the great Steve Libby. Everyone is named Steve. Dan also allowed me to bring Maggie, my dog. Which is nice because since I got Maggie at 13, we haven't really been separated. Even when I spent that short time in college, I brought my dog along with me.
Now, of course, this was just the technical information of who I am. I'm sure I'll get more into it the deeper I get into my writing. I'll share my past, ideals, future, and hopes with you. I can see it already. I'm really not one to hold back. No matter what I say, this is my personal blog. I will not hide the truth from myself.
Recently some writing on my person Tumblog got me into trouble, but I don't see how it should have. I complained about my ex-boyfriend (when he was still my current). After we broke up, he ran into the things I had said about him. He didn't mind so much, but one of his best friends came firing up my ass about how I should never write those things about someone for the world to see. How "fucked up it is" to write meanful things about someone. Excuse me, may I welcome you to the internet? Would you like me to pull up your facebook and see what you shared with people you know compared to my followers on Tumblr in which I've met 4 of them and that's BECAUSE of Tumblr? But yes, this is a story for another time.
I hope who I am or who I am becoming doesn't frighten you as the reader. I hope I seem interesting to other people. For now, I suppose I shall just wait and find out.
