Elizabeth Smart Writing Memoir

Photobucket

Ten years after she was abducted, Elizabeth Smart is penning a memoir about the nine months she was held, often in chains, and raped almost daily.

Now married and a senior at Brigham Young University, Smart, 25, is co-writing her story with Chris Stewart, a Utah Congressman-elect.

"She has taken a professional outlook on this and is able to talk in an impressive way about these things frankly," Stewart said.

"She is not shying away from this story."

My best friend since 5th grade is Mormon (I'm not) and went to BYU in August and by October of her freshman year, met a guy and was engaged. She got married just a couple of months later. She hasn't talked to me since - 10 years ago
:(

That's exactly what happened with my next door neighbors. One got married her sophomore year to a returned missionary within 4 months of meeting him.

And I swear he is gay. I met him and he was like the Sassy Gay Friend in the flesh.

This goes along with my hypothesis:

"Not sure if gay, or really religious."

I like your hypothesis, it fits one of my best friends to a T. I actually assumed he was gay for the longest time
