Laura Mackenzie used the weblog attached to her MySpace profile occasionally, mostly just to vent.

On October 5, 2005, Laura wrote:

"I'm so sick of girls competing for guys. Girls hating each other over a guy. Guys hating one girl cuz he can't get another. I'm sick of people loosing friendships over guys. I'm annoyed with people constantly talking about other people behind thier backs, and even in front of their back. I'm sick of all the stuff I told people to just make them happy, stuff they wanted to hear. Whatever, ur gonna get what I think now"

Then, on December 20, Laura was thoughtful, laying out some things that were on her mind in a list:

"So much has been on my mind. I am not sure I would ever get it all out if I went on for a few years.
I feel like I am in limbo right now.
As my cousin Hank said, if it's not perfect, then keep looking.
But what if I just suddenly found prefect where I never thought it'd be?
I really like being away from home.
I am not staying around here for college. I am going at least 4 hours away.
I don't regret what I've done so far.
I wish high school had been different.
I changed over the summer.
New York City is beautiful at Christmas...you just have to look at it as beautiful. If you say it's dirty and ugly, it will be for you...But it's a memory for me.
I might miss certain things"

Laura also kept a Livejournal for a while: wynne-mack.livejournal.com. The last entry there was made in August of 2005, just before her last year in school was to begin. She wrote in that post about finally getting a vehicle of her own:

"I finally got my own ve-hicle; a '95 VW Golf. Black. Cloth interior. I just got a nice CD player put in (the radio that was in the car when I got it...it skipped every time I went over a bump, or just when it felt like it..yes, the radio). Oh, and it also has a steering wheel, etc...ok, I'll stop. This car just made a 5 hour trip to NJ, then to NY, and then back home. It's called My/Mack's 'little tin can.'"

"Mack's little tin can" was the vehicle Laura Mackenzie was driving when she disappeared. One reason authorities have now become concerned as to Laura's whereabouts is the fact that they can find no trace of her black VW Golf, either.
