But that's what I'm going to be! My family told me so!!!! I DON'T WANNA BE LIKE HER! SAVE ME!
It's ok.... you know your standards.....
Right. I just love kitties. That's why my siblings said I was going to be some freaky cat lady that lives on the corner when I'm old and gray!
Your not the only one. =] though I'm only teased by my dad cuz he hates cats.
Ha ha! My dad just hates our cats. Sometimes I can't blame him.
I think Stephanie Meyer wanted other people besides mormons to like her book so she made sure that her character's values were low enough to be accepted by the world. Sorry, I know you guys were talking about temples, but I thought I had to put that in.
That's a good point, I never considered that. Still, in doing so, I think she took away from the books, rather tan adding to them. With lower values, her characters (like Bella, for instance) seem easier to relate to, but lose their worth as role models. I wish Stephenie Meyer hadn't done that. I think I would have enjoyed the books more.

i don't think she is."
yes she is! i have seen rumorous times that she is. and she didnt even write the books for mormon people. she wanted to put all the church stuff behind (not that she is not proud of being mormom) but she needed to make a book that people would like who were not in the church.

I still don't believe that made it right.
Like if I were writing that book I still wouldn't have put the immorality in it even if it did make it more appealing to the world. It's just not worth it to me. Her characters would also have seemed stronger and more beautiful in my eyes if they were able to control their lust and not give in to temptation. But whatever right, we all have our Free Agency. :D
Hey cool, your post reminded me of this awesome song from a previous EFY thingy. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE5KBt... It's a really pretty song.
That was a beautiful song! And yeah I went to Oquirh Mt. Temple! It was stunning! It literally stole my breath and put the Spirit in my heart instead.
Wow guys. You have had some pretty deep conversations while I was gone! Geez. Jk but anyways... I totally agree with Jess about keeping your standards even if you want the rest of the world to like your book. anyways. I haven't been to the Oquirh Mt. Temple! Dang it. I really wanted to go. The Draper was really pretty.
I am going to the Oquirh mtn. Temple on August first! I am so excited!
i did the sacremento walk threw before it was deticated. it is soooooooooo pretty!!
I didn't feel the Spirit as much at Draper because I went with my YM YW group and lots of them were talking and stuff and I wanted them to shut up! But it was incredible! Especially the Celestial room! SO INCREDIBLE! yeah. that's all.
That can be annoying, but for me they were quiet, and the talkative ones were a head, but we couldn't see them.
I'm going to the Oquirh Mt. temple on Wednesday, im really excited!!!!
Seriously! Be excited! It's soooooo incredible! You'll ADORE it! And Wolf, you were soo lucky to be around the quiet ones!
*Shrug* they are normaly loud.
Well be grateful they were shutted upped then. And sorry for my made up words but what can I say. I'm from Utah.
Indeed. I like Manti and Salt Lake. I mean but I like them all but those two hold a special spirit for me.
I love to see the temple, im going there someday....
lol now i have it stuck in my head
lol!!! now i have it stuck in my head also!! my lesson 2day was about the kirtland temple.
the lesson or the song in your head! :D
the lessson and guess what??? Stephanie Meyer was my aunts neighbor, she still talks to her!
Wow, this is one small world.
i agree!!!!!!!!!!! i want to be on that kind of basis with any of my fav authors.
no. just because she went to BYU does not mean she is mormon! she is not even close!
Yah she is! My aunt knows her! Really she does!
I love how this whole thing kept drifting off to temples... I wonder how that happened? Anyways... ya guys she really is LDS. But anyways... umm.. I hear that Austenland wasn't such a good book? I wouldn't know, tho. Maybe it just had some bad choice language... anyone read it and know?
i haven't.................. have you read Yearbook?
I read a book by that author... and MET the author!!!!!!
Yeah. it's called "freshman for president" where (i'm sure you couldn't guess) a freshman runs for president. when i saw it, i thought it looked lame, but Ally Condie is really funny adn can totally pull it off.
Sounds kinda like "The Kid who ran For President" same idea. Really funny with a lot of sarcastic characters.
