Sunday Shoutout: JustPlainMorgie
One of the girls on Xanga that I especially love is @JustPlainMorgie.
Morgie is such a sweetheart.
creative, sweet, bright, loving.
She makes me smile.
1. Can you give a brief outline of your life, family?
I grew up in a small town in Ohio, and am currently going to school
and living in a college dorm, also in Ohio.
At home I have four younger siblings where there is never a dull moment. I miss my family, but here at school I consider all of the wonderful girls I live with my family.
Morgie,her siblings and cousins
2. What are your main interests, hobbies or collections?
I am attending school to become a math teacher, so I am a nerd who loves math. I also play soccer and that has always been a big part of my life. Writing is obviously another one of my hobbies, and reading goes along with that. And if I do say so myself, I have a wonderful DVD collection and I am always working on adding all of my favorite movies to my collection.
3. What is something/someplace you have always wanted to do/see?
Something I have always wanted to do is take a trip across the United States. Of course visiting other countries would be exciting but I want to see all of the wonderful things we have in my
own country that I have not yet experienced. I have always wanted to get one of those “Weird US” books and just travel to all the fun and hidden places, along with all the normal tourist destinations.
4. What brought you to Xanga?I had a Xanga when I was in middle school, and then all of my friends drifted away from it. I started this Xanga in 2008 as a place to put all my writing so it would be in one place. I spent a year just posting my writing with absolutely no readers, before realizing what a wonderful community this place has to offer.
5. How did you pick your Xanga name and how do you like to be addressed on here?I don’t really remember choosing my Xanga name but I know to me it means that I’m just plain me. I’m not here to put on an act or be anything besides who I truly am. That’s why I came to Xanga;
I needed a place where I could be myself.
Most people here call me Morgie or Morgs and I am fine with either,
I love both of those nicknames. And calling me Morgan is just fine as well
6. What are some of your favorites?
websites,movies,music,food,books, songs?My favorite websites are
thingsweforget.blogspot.com and iwrotethisforyou.me.
Both bring little sparks of inspiration to my day.
My favorite music is
Backseat Goodbye and Regina Spektor and
I currently have a small obsession with Hoodie Allen.
My favorite books are
Love, Stargirl, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Book Thief, Looking for Alaska,
and It’s Kind of a Funny Story.
It’s so hard for me to choose favorite movies so
we’ll go with pretty much anything that has Steve Carell in it,
as well as Girl, Interrupted, Fight Club, American Beauty, and a few others.
My favorite show is The Office; I am overly obsessed with it.7. What are your plans for the future ?
For the next 3 years I plan to be in school and after I graduate I hope to become a middle school math teacher. I want to eventually get married and have kids, but that’s quite far in the future so right now I am just focusing on getting through school.8.What is your favorite thing to wear and where you shop?
My favorite things to wear are dresses and skirts because I love feeling pretty. My favorite store is Forever 21 but I also get a lot of my clothes at thrift stores. I love getting clothes for cheap and I can afford more clothes that way. I also have a pretty large collection of fun necklaces and I wear a different one every day.
9. What is something you have learned about yourself these last few months?
One thing I have learned about myself from being in college is that it’s not as hard as I thought to just put myself out there and go for what I want. I used to think I was shy and quiet but I don’t always have to be that way. I work hard for everything I do and I find that I have the ability to create opportunities for myself and even if I don’t succeed in the end,
at least I found a learning experience along the way.

She's awesome
She's a pretty awesome chick!
Morgie is wonderful. One of the people on Xanga that everybody likes and no one hates. I think she's one of the people that makes Xanga such a great place to not only be a blogger but part of a community.
What a wonderful read on such a young and inspiring Xangan! Although, I am kind of partial to a fellow Buckeye...
She seems like such a great girl. I love reading her poetry; it makes me want to write again.
Also, your Sunday Shoutouts are pretty awesome.
Thank you so much, Beth. This makes me smile immensely
Morgie's a sweetheart.
Yay, go Morgie!
She sounds like such a doll, so loved!
Thanks Beth, for another beautiful shout out~
@JustPlainMorgie - My husband is a meteorologist, who would rather be a math professor.
I'll have to check her out! Thanks Beth for the introduction!!
What a wonderful spirit she has. Just bounced over and read her. Thanks for having her for the Sunday Shout Out. I love your shout outs because I get to meet new people:)
That is so weird, the back of her legs looks much better than the front.
A very nice tribute to a special young lady!
Wow - her smile is like the sun pulling you into orbit. How can anyone resist it?
@WildWomanOfTheWest - Math professors are pretty awesome
@saintvi - oh, thank you, you are lovely
morgie is lovely and talented and sweet but she also has loads of sass and personality
Morgie is one of my favorites as well. She is usually positive, but never pretentious-so that makes her a kindred spirit. Always glad to see a woman who's into math.
oh i love perks of being a wallflower (literally obsessed) and love, stargirl! and just stargirl!
i only saw it's kind of a funny story the movie, never read it. but i loved fight club the movie and book. <3
this girl sounds cool. =]
also, REGINA SPEKTOR<3<3<3
I enjoyed this
...as weird as it sounds, she reminds me of me when I was at that age...just trying to find a form of expression (and figure it all out) with an environment totally different from a small town...
"Noobz," which was written and directed by Blake Freeman,
has a cast that includes Freeman, Jason Mewes, Casper Van Dien and
Moises Arias. The flow of events keep things rolling at a very quick speed and the film is a great deal of fun. Although the 3D unquestionably tends to make this type of animation look
extremely lifelike and immersive, it is not exploited here in the sense of sending objects hurtling off the screen.
Follow that using your ad's text, describing your
own home's features and including any special amenities that the house
has to make available.
The unique cabin is something that differentiates it from the
rest of the world, as it delivers a memorable experience for visitors and locals
alike. The remaining pins all have different functions
which include providing power for each HDMI cable,
ensuring the smoothest transmission possible
from one device to the next, and much more. Instead of having to pay
three separate bills and deal with three separate companies when you choose Verizons Fi - OS service
you only have to pay one bill each month.
Hi there, constantly i used to check blog posts here

No pets are allowed and both smoking and nonsmoking rooms can be found.
Set within the headers to pass on the Craigslist connection.
