This guy was acting as Artemis Fowl (The main character of Eoin Colfer's books Artemis Fowl - what he's most famous for) He was pretty clever! The kids would ask him questions and he answered them really fast, and they were all things Artemis would say - so AMAZING IMPROV :D And he was suppose to keep a straight face the whole time, and little kids were asking hysterical things.. but he didn't even smile! So awesome<3 (I look disgusting in the picture - ignore that)
And the AMAZING EOIN COLFER :D I love him, so much. He gave a huge speech before hand and I was crying I was laughing so hard, he's HILARIOUS. Aghh, even if you don't like his books go watch a YouTube video of him talking or something - You will laugh. I guarantee it. He told me I was stylish! (Then he said "Well, if I think it looks good it's probably uncool - that's what my son says anyways) BUT he was so nice and signed my book and AHH so many run on sentences but THIS IS EXCITINGGG. :D
Ellen Hopkins - To be honest i've only read one of her books (Burned) but I loved it very much, even though it was very depressing and I cried a bunch. The way she writes and the details - Extraordinary! I want to read the rest of her books ASAP (My to-read list is two pages long though - i'll get there eventually!) Her speech was wonderful. I almost cried (She really hits your emotions). Her first book, Crank, is about her own daughters addiction to Meth, and although I haven't read it it sounds like it's been a horribly tough road, and it's still not over. And yet, she was happy! She smiled and laughed! I admire how strong and brave she has to be for that to be possible. And her Twilight imitation made me laugh :P She does not seem to like Bella very much. Her point was valid - just because your boyfriend leaves you, you shouldn't jump off a cliff!
Soooo I love books. And the people who write them. I want to write my own, and I want it to be so great that people quote lines from it. The kind that make you think and make your own.
