What are your favorite names?
Anything unique and original but not completely ridiculous. If I have a boy, he will be named Roman (my last name) because our family surname stops with my sister and me. For a girl, I like Vivian.
What do you most value in your friends?
Loyalty, humor, shared interests...
What is your most marked characteristic?
I'm very intuitive. I'm an Aquarian through and through.
What social movement do you most admire?
Marriage equality. There is plenty of hate in the world. If two people love each other, it should be celebrated not persecuted.
Which fault in others do you most easily tolerate?
I'm an excellent listener and actually care about others' feelings. If I'm friends with someone, I can deal with people who have the tendency to make the conversation all about them. I don't need to be the center of attention.
What is your biggest weakness?
I'm very sensitive and cry very easily. Others might see this as a weakness but I just like to think that I'm aware of my emotions.
What is your favorite color?
Cream, gold, sage green, pink, lavender, blue...
What is your favorite flower?
Hydrangeas or Pink/Cream Roses
Your favorite poet?
Rumi
What natural gift would you most like to possess?
Charm
Now Playing: "Satellite of Love" by Lou Reed

Fill In the Blank Friday
For this week's edition of Fill In the Blank Friday, I pulled some questions from the infamous Proust Questionnaire.
What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?
Loneliness; not necessarily being by yourself which I actually quite like but the kind in which you could be surrounded by others but still feel empty.
Where would you like to live?
I love where I was born and raised (Pittsburgh) but in an ideal world, I would own homes all over the world and travel quite often. Pittsburgh is beautiful, though. I love its rolling hills, four seasons, culture, people, architecture, livability... it's home sweet home for sure.
What is your idea of earthly happiness?
Love, freedom, creative expression, generosity, friendship, knowledge, something to look forward to, experience...
Who are your favorite heroes of fiction?
I tend to gravitate toward nonfiction books and my own imagination but Ja'mie King from Chris Lilley's Summer Heights High has given me enough laughs to last a lifetime. I wish I had a more philosophical response but I'd rather keep it real. I also really enjoyed Daria growing up. I always felt I was a mixture between Daria and her sister Quinn.
Ja'mie King
Quinn Morgendorffer
Your favorite painter?
I love just about all of John William Waterhouse's work but one of my favorite paintings is Midsummer Eve by Edward Robert Hughes.
Echo and Narcissus. Waterhouse, 1903.
Midsummer Eve. Edward Robert Hughes, 1908.
Your favorite musician?
I have quite a few but one would be Paolo Nutini. He sings with such an incredible amount of emotion and depth. The boy's got soul.
"No Other Way" by Paolo Nutini
*This is one of the most beautiful songs/performances I've ever heard.
The quality you most admire in a man?
Generally speaking, a gentleman.
The quality you most admire in a woman?
Warmth.
Your favorite virtue?
Of the four traditional Cardinal virtues, prudence.
Your favorite occupation?
Writer/Author.

- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
- 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!
