Stephenie Meyer, the author of
Eclipse, was in Torrence Saturday, August 25
th. We decided that for book club this month, we would have this as our book and take a field trip. There were only seven of us, though. Me, Kristen, Hannah, Robin, Allyson, Betsey, and her niece Katelyn. Robin drove the first five of us and we met Betsey at PF
Changs. Dinner was delicious. Hannah recommended the shrimp with candied walnuts. Yum! No silly conversations this time. Then we headed over to Borders. There were masses of teenage girls milling around. We were herded toward the Cd isles and there we stayed. Even though I had my very tall
wedge sandals on, I couldn't see over the racks to where Stephanie would be. We waited a little while until we heard girlish
squeals, then we knew that she had arrived. She stood up and used a mic, so if I stood on tip toe and peeked through the
shelves, I could see. Most of her followers are vampire lovers and under age 20.
Except us, of course. They were also all dressed in black and various styles of Goth. Stephanie answered questions and she'd say, "girl in the black shirt" or "girl in the black tank top" or girl in the black sweatshirt" most of the time. It was funny. Lots of black. I don't remember any really insightful questions, or I'd write the answers here. After we got our books signed, we got a pin. However, we had to choose between "I love
Edward" and "I love Jacob." I've been a
Jacob fan the whole time, but he was kind of a jerk in this book at first, and Edward was a psycho control freak, so I didn't like him either. The tent scene with Jacob was great. I was pro Jacob then. In the end, I liked Edward more than I ever have, so I picked up the "I love
Edward" pin--but I don't really mean it. Hopefully, any of you who read this entry will be daunted by the size of this paragraph and won't read this far to see what a
psycho I am
for being so in to this teenage book.

I forgot to add that I looked totally hot in the new clothes Chris got for me at Ann Taylor Loft :)
You should have a picture of yourself.
Also, I want to add (so you feel better)...that I think Stephenie Meyer has a huge crowd following. It's our wards book club book this month (twilight anyway) and I know lots of other, older than 20, people who have read the books. Maybe it's just that the under 20 crowd are the only ones "crazy" enough to go to a book signing (over and over AND over). HA HA....Just kidding. I guess I should start reading them. Maybe after I pick up the 7th Harry Potter.
Hahaha. Somehow I wasn't daunted by your "large" paragraph. I was intrigued to read your train of thought on the two boys. You're so funny. Also I'm so glad you got to go to Disneyland a few days in a row. So fun!
