The Introduction

Well now that you've probably gotten a feel for what the vineyard is like, I think it's time for a proper introduction. I'll start with the best of the best (the people who actually live or have lived in Boyer's Vineyard).

Harriett from Rochester, New York is a self-proclaimed rebel. She doesn't really proclaim that, but I think she should start. She enjoys dancing to songs such as "Bohemian Like You" and "It's Raining Men", and hates people who wear buffalo checkered flannel. You'll usually find her in a piano room practicing the Romeo and Juliet theme song or in the vineyard binge watching Scandal.

Hannah from Louisville, Ohio hates mushrooms and olives but loves the smell of freshly opened reddit pages. When she was little she wanted to be a horse but her passion now lies in writing although she was eliminated from the 3rd grade spelling bee on the word afternoon. She bruises easily, so please don't punch. Currently she is attempting to build a scale model toothpick of a toothpick.

Elysia [uh-lee-shuh] from Hillsdale, New Jersey doesn't like watermelon because it's gross. She is an avid fan of Sherlock and Mad Men and has considered becoming a detective with a knack for catchy slogans. She once wrote a 50,000 word novel and killed a cockroach with a bottle of vinegar. On certain days, you can find her in the Stuart Reading room discussing the implications of Iranian folk art.

Emily from Minooka, Illinois is the one responsible for the cozy décor in Boyer's Vineyard. Currently studying social work, she hopes to rid the world of the "problem child" along with gluten. You know you've made a good joke when the number of her snorts reach inhuman proportions. On sunny days, Emily can usually be found practicing jazz flute and Magic....at the same time.

Kathleen from San Diego, California is a soon-to-be-discovered fashion designer who specializes in art deco couture. When not standing on top of a twenty person pyramid, she can be seen giving withering looks. One of her most prized possessions is her hand made bean bag chair, voted most comfortable furniture by Reader's Digest.

Payton from Bellingham, Washington is what some might call a starving street performer. For the past summer the game in Boyer's Vineyard was to make him juggle things. Items have included: raw chickens, potted plants, and freedom. Unfortunately, for the next year he will be enjoying high tea with the Queen and James Bond but he might take a celeb shot on the blog, since he is undefeated at beer pong since 1942.

And finally, yours truly, Beka from New Lenox, Illinois but in dangerous situations I call myself "Slayer Moon". I am really what brings the Boyer's Vineyard together, with my sense of humor and ability to make puns. Usually you can find me turning pintrocities into pinchievements or slurping a mexicana shake while debating the semantic relationship between FIDLAR and YOLO. All my favorite things are miniature.
