Okay so where shall I begin???
Well 1st off, I almost did not go to this book signing because I was very discouraged when B&N told me that they were not going to give out wristbands for this event!
I seriously thought this would be super crazy and that there was no way in hell I was going to get to meet her!
Well, my gut instinct said to go check it out and see how crazy it really is going to be!
I WAS FUCKING WRONG & THANK THE FUCK GOD I WAS!!!
Got to the B&N at about 1:30pm to see how bad it was! To my ultimate shock, it was running like a regular day, no lines in site! So I go up to the Customer service line and ask them what the deal is. The girl tells me all I got to do is buy one book from their store and I can get it signed personalized to whoever and also get up to 6 books signed! She then tells me that no lines can start to form inside the store for seating till 4pm! I'm thinking cool but YEAH THE FUCK RIGHT in my head about no one lining up early. SO i go upstairs to the area where the siging is and they were still setting up books and seats.
So I get on line to purchase another book so i can have her sign it with the other 2 I already had and go outside to kill 2 1/2 hrs before I can get in the line to try to get a guaranteed seat for the Q&A and signing.
I decided to go to Starbucks, cause let's face it, I'm addicted to that shit like crack & ROB of course and I need something to get me more pumped up for my nerves to be even more high then they were at the time to pray that I will get a seat in the signing!
I Imessage FB to tell her what I am up to, we start chatting back and forth about Fifty & me being all nervous & shit.
All of a sudden a fucking hot Fifty type guy walks into Starbucks and i tell FB on Imessage. So of course our BTB minds that think alike she asks me to take a pic! Well, I got one but it was from behind! he did have nice shoulders & ass! Right FB? He caught me staring and I smiled but nothing came of it! NYC is full of FIFTY"S!!! I need to find me one!

(The Ass Man) *pinch..pinch*
So back to the signing....3:30pm rolls around & I head back to B&N. I go straight upstairs to the signing area after using the loo so I'm all set to wait! I see a security guard and ask him where is the line going to start, he asks me if i bought the book and I tell him yes. He then points to a wall and tells me the line has started and I can go on it to wait to be seated!
I FUCKING SQUEALED!!! YES OUT LOUD!! Fucking dork that I am, I go to the line and notice only about 20 people in front of me!
MY INNER GODDESS is fucking dancing like ANA in my head!!
I text FB to tell her the awesome news & then right away I meet all these awesome ladies on the line who are all like me in shock that we are going to get to meet E.L. James!! Within 10 minutes of being in the line, they start sitting us right away! I'm stunned and in shock that they sit us before 4pm! I wound up being in the 3rd row from the stage!
INNER GODDESS DOES BACK FLIPS!!!!
So the wait begins! All the ladies i meet, first thing they discuss is who is CG going to be played by! Thank goodness everyone agreed Chris Hemsworth is a MAJOR NO!!!! Henry Cavill & Ian Somerhalder are the top favs!
"IT'S TIME....7PM"
THE QUEEN BEE herself is introduced and comes out!

THE QUEEN BEE herself is introduced and comes out!
(Aurora did this collage while on the train on her iphone after the signing!!)
THE PIC OF HER LOOKING LIKE SHE IS CRYING IS HER CRYING, SHE GOT EMOTIONAL WHEN EVERYONE CLAPPED FOR HER AS SHE CAME OUT.
I took video of the whole Q & A so I will not go into detail of what was said cause you can just watch it! Sorry it is 2 parts! I pressed a button on my Ipad and had to record it in 2 parts!
After the Q&A, signing time! I get all nervous again and get myself mentally ready to what I want to say to her! My Inner Goddess gets in her business suit & whips out her notepad!
My turn is up with EL James and she looks up at me and smiles and Says "Hello Lauren!" (they put our name on a sticky note for her to personalize our book for us)
I blush and say Hello back to her & I tell EL JAMES that I am so happy for her success with the books and that I read them when they were MOTU (Thanks to Angela & all you BTB's for telling me to read them!). I also tell her that I look forward to seeing the movie being made and thank you for taking the time to meet us fans! She smiled so big when I told her I read MOTU 1st and she also said thank you for my kind words! I told her to rest up and take it easy!
She is the sweetest and most down to earth person to meet! Makes you happy!
My last of this story is when I was on the train home, I finally opened my book to see what she wrote in it and she signed it:
Lauren, laters baby EL JAMES
MY INNER GODDESS DIED!!!
Love ya BTB's & enjoy the pics and videos! The whole time I thought of getting as much as I could to share with my BTB's! Seriously I love ya all!!! Without you, I would have never known of the world of Fanfics or Fifty!!
SO this is a thank you to all of you for making me have an INNER GODDESS!!
Love,
Aurora23♥BTB♥®
