personalities.

Melody came from ohio. She is thirty seven. She made a decision to go to iona to be open and take a chance. She taught me about body theology and I wish I would risk like her.

Grant is from hong kong. He rolls his own cigarettes and drinks beer from his backpack. He speaks like a posh pom.

Hannah cooks. Better than she lets on about. My roommate, who, from our beds across the room, provoked in me some of the most uncomfortable conversations.

Gabriele is a forty-something from germany who practices zen meditation and writes three pages in her journal from her bed everyday.

Katie takes retreats with Benedictine nuns. She sings prayers in taize and loves silence.

Sarah empowers people to sing. and by people, i mean me. she believes in assertiveness, her field (ethnomusicology), and online dating.

Tom teaches theology to teenagers. He likes to match rubber gloves with size, shade, and brand name.

David has an alter ego called “the green man” who has over 10,000 friends on myspace. He really, really liked dancing on the beach.

Chris is a wandering kiwi whose partner lives in uk while she lives in new Zealand. She is a retured social worker who I would love to be like.

John and joe have a travelling Frisbee routine. They are best friends.

Donna is a singer-actress-reverend. She is vibrant.

Shannon is a truly good woman. She is in undergrad and is developing her own rule of life. She asks great questions.

And there’s a lot more. (please refer to maggie and christina in other posts.)
