Multiple values for the magnetic quantum number and the spin projection quantum number?

The valence electron configuration of boron is $2\mathrm{p}^1$.


So, $n=2$, and $l=1$. $m\_l$ ranges from $-l$ to $l$. Can I say $m\_l$ (for the specified electron) 
may be (-1 or 0 or +1) or should I just say (-1)?

As you know the $\mathrm{p}$ subshell has three orbitals ($\mathrm{p}\_x, \mathrm{p}\_y, \mathrm{p}\_z$).


Can I associate $\mathrm{p}\_x$ with $m\_l = -1$, $\mathrm{p}\_y$ with $m\_l = 0$ and $\mathrm{p}\_z$ with $m\_l = +1$? 
(associate each magnetic quantum number with a particular orbital)


I tried to explain what I meant in the following illustration :

$m\_s$ is either $+\frac{1}{2}$ or $-\frac{1}{2}$. 
Can I say $m\_s$ (for the specified electron) equals ($+\frac{1}{2}$ or $-\frac{1}{2}$)? (both values)
or $+\frac{1}{2}$ because it's alone in the orbital (not paired)
