Quoteworthy
“For these beings, fall is ever the normal season, the only weather, there be no choice beyond. Where do they come from? The dust. Where do they go? The grave. Does blood stir their veins? No: the night wind. What ticks in their head? The worm. What speaks from their mouth? The toad. What sees from their eye? The snake. What hears with their ear? The abyss between the stars. They sift the human storm for souls, eat flesh of reason, fill tombs with sinners. They frenzy forth.... Such are the autumn people.”
-Ray Bradbury 1920-2012

Survey Says: Ideas
Where/When I get the best ideas: In the shower or on a walk by myself in the park.
The best idea I ever had: Facebook. I didn't call it Facebook but the idea was there. 1999-ish.
The worst idea I ever had: If you were to ask my bank account, probably my major in college but I'm good with my choice and so thrilled with where I went to school. There really wouldn't have been anything else I was more interested in studying.
An idea that others didn't understand: People look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them I occasionally do water fasts. I suppose it sounds pretty extreme (which it can be) but it's very beneficial when done properly.
An idea that someone stole from me: I wrote this frivolous little poem called "A Pittsburgh Girl." I only posted it on a few of my close friends Facebook walls back in '05. It then spread all around the world in e-mails, message boards, blogs, social media, etc. I obviously never got credit for it. I've seen it slightly rewritten so many times or with other people's names attached to it. I wrote it almost jokingly and in just a couple of minutes. Crazy that it became so popular. My friends don't even believe me when I tell them I wrote it and I'm an extremely honest person. My sister is the only one that knows it was me because she watched me write it.
An idea I had when I was little: I thought the world was literally black and white before color film was invented.
An idea I had today: This little survey. Of course, I was in the shower... thinking of all the previous ideas I've had and want to follow through with.
An idea I'll probably have tomorrow: The snooze button is always a good idea.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
As I once wrote in the "Pittsburgh Girl" poem, "Green beer is good for the soul!" This St. Patrick's Day (and a beautiful one it is so far in Pittsburgh), I hope you have a safe and memorable time spent with friends and family. My Mother's side of the family is originally from County Mayo, Ireland. I'm proud to be Irish- I even named my dog, Ireland. Having red hair, everyone assumes that I'm Irish even though my locks likely come from my father's side of the family (Italian, etc.). But today, everyone is 100% of green. Slainte! :)

- I'm living life in beautiful Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I hold a journalism degree from West Virginia University. I have worked in television news, fashion marketing, PR, and cosmetic sales. My love for writing and sharing with the world my various passions is strong. One of my many ambitions is to be published and continue creating in the fields of digital and print media, literature and film. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, going to concerts, reading, following Pittsburgh sports and traveling as often as possible. Some of my favorite things include beauty, style, architecture, books, tarot and astrology, thrifting and my shih-tzu, Ireland. I’m engaged to the love of my lifetimes and we look forward to starting our next chapter together. If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you!
