Hi! I happened to stumble onto your page after reading a comment or something that you wrote... and when I heard your profile song I began to laugh. I had to add you as a friend because of that lol. The theme for the Greatest American Hero was the theme for my friends and I in high school (all girls Catholic high school - no further explanation needed) so I figured anybody that could appreciate that song like I do is worthy of an add!

Best of luck in the firefightin' world and stay safe!!!!!!

I will not LOWER and/or DEBASE myself to joining such a group... especially when the creator of the group can't f*ing spell my name right.

Apr 2, 2008
LadyChaplain

In the case of referring to me by my nickname, the proper spelling is Kenzi -- NO E. When utilizing my proper, full name, the spelling is McKenzie -- E included.

LadyChaplain

Don't make me put you in a cast again.

Apr 3, 2008
LadyChaplain

Oh yes, I understand that mom can spell my name however she likes... but when it's supposed to be from me... yeah. I have an issue with that. My bf @ the time spelled my name Kenzi... so he wasn't pleased when my name was spelled wrong on the bracelet either.
