The stuff I write isn't exactly religious or pushing any political viewpoints [yet!:] but I guess, like any writer, it reflects part of me... Which I guess isn't your average [almost:] teenager. Which is what sells books, right?
Stephenie Meyer is a Mormon, I think. Apparently her books are full of hidden Mormon messages?
No, they´re not Mormon at all, which is why she told the youth leaders to tell their girls to not read it.
Yeah. Stephenie Meyer is a Mormon (LDS), but they are Mormon based...believe me.Yeah, she did tell youth leaders that.
Hayden, are you Mormon?
Just wondering. Funny, I answered that question the exact same way when someone asked me that. Yeah, I'm LDS too.
Yup. Do you live in Utah? If you do, you should totally go meet Brandon Mull, Shannon Hale, and Jessica Day George for me. ((Utah LDS authors who rock socks!))
Jessica Day George and Shannnon Hale are LDS and live in Utah?
Yeah. They are both Mormon, and I'm pretty sure they live in Utah...wait a sec, lemme check.
Okay, I was close. Shannon Hale lives in Salt Lake, UT, and Jessica Day George lives in Boise, ID.
Yeah. It's pretty awesome. BYU!
(Actually, problem about BYU is that they have frickin' awful games. Pity.))
Sorry. Where do you want to go to college?
Not sure. I love what my uncle did! He went to college in Brasil, then went BYU after. That's really cool, because you learn the language of a foreign country, then you go to BYU.
somehwhere on the East Coast. I just want to get out of here.
Interesting! That's cool. East Coast is cool.
I was thinking of maybe getting my Bachelor´s in BYU then going..somewhere...
That's a good idea. Something like that for me too. Except some foreign country would be cool. China or something, since I'm going to China anyway in a year.
Why am I going to China? Well, firstly, to learn the language. Second, to have a cool experience, and third, maybe go to school there too.Maybe Greece I could go instead. That would be awesome. But then again...they don't speak Chinese there..but they do Latin! That just might work! *runs off to go talk to parents*

I would be something else and be an author on the side, too. Plus my books would never publish and I would fail in life.
