It's Bobilicious!

Omg... a couple days ago I was at Wondeland... waiting in line. AND BAM! Three large spiders were right above my head, creepy much? Ugh, yuck bad experince!And the people beside me were making fun of my fear of spiders, so when they lost their cellphone on the ride, I laugghed at them.

In other news, I finished Wicked Lovely and it was awesome! One of the best books I've read thsi summer, of course I haven't read a whole lot. So now I'm reading the sequel and I can already tell it's not going to be as good, and the fact that Alicia told me it wasn't as good.

Only...two...more...days! Oh god, I'm getting more nervous by the second. We haven't gotten our time tables yet and it angers me! I want to know my classes! Grr! I'm angered. Oh god, I think I might die, if so. You can all spilt my book collection equally.

Well, I got to go, going to Chapters!!! Tootles!

There is apple stuck in my teeth..

And I can't get it out. I must quest for the floss.

But befire that, I'm back! And I realized that we have about 3 days till highschool! I wasn't nervous before. but I am a bit now. I had a dream about going to highschool the other day, or night rather. It was stressful, and now I have MORE apple in my teeth! GR! This is why I don't eat too many apples. I love them so much though...

The last few posts are sad and depressing. I'm going to break thatwith this post. Oh, and you pickup your timetable at your school. That's how it usually works. Thats what most people do anyway.

Well, time to leave, My hands are sticky from apple juice and my teeth are uncomfortable. It's not very fun. See yas!

Note On Midnight Sun Leak

I have to mention my point of view on this whole leaked Midnight Sun issue.
Reading that note, I have to say that I think the way Stephenie Meyer has been handling this situation is very realistic, understandable, and even quite brave. Posting the link to the site the leaked copy is on so as not to lay guilt on fans unable to resist reading must have been a tough decision, and shows the care she has for each and every one of her fans. I know that from a writer's standpoint, taking a break from the story to truly enjoy the experience must not have been something she enjoyed deciding, but was ultimately the only decision. Don't we all want Stephenie Meyer to be happy and feel more than satisfied with the way Edward's story is written? We won't enjoy it properly if it's not what we know to be Stephenie's best work. I am happy, and have to say have new faith in the abilities of the artist.

Just had to say that to contrast Alicia's heart-shapeless post.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?! THIS IS A TRADGEDY? INDEFINITELY? DOESN'T THAT MEAN FOREVER?

Stephanie Meyer Site:
As some of you may have heard, my partial draft of Midnight Sun was illegally posted on the Internet and has since been virally distributed without my knowledge or permission or the knowledge or permission of my publisher.
I have a good idea of how the leak happened as there were very few copies of Midnight Sun that left my possession and each was unique. Due to little changes I made to the manuscript at different times, I can tell when each left my possession and to whom it was given. The manuscript that was illegally distributed on the Internet was given to trusted individuals for a good purpose. I have no comment beyond that as I believe that there was no malicious intent with the initial distribution.
I did not want my readers to experience Midnight Sun before it was completed, edited and published. I think it is important for everybody to understand that what happened was a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being. As the author of the Twilight Saga, I control the copyright and it is up to the owner of the copyright to decide when the books should be made public; this is the same for musicians and filmmakers. Just because someone buys a book or movie or song, or gets a download off the Internet, doesn't mean that they own the right to reproduce and distribute it. Unfortunately, with the Internet, it is easy for people to obtain and share items that do not legally belong to them. No matter how this is done, it is still dishonest. This has been a very upsetting experience for me, but I hope it will at least leave my fans with a better understanding of copyright and the importance of artistic control.
So where does this leave Midnight Sun? My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn't like math; in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything. If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn't dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely.
I'd rather my fans not read this version of Midnight Sun. It was only an incomplete draft; the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes. But how do I comment on this violation without driving more people to look for the illegal posting? It has taken me a while to decide how and if I could respond. But to end the confusion, I've decided to make the draft available
here (at the end of this message on the Midnight Sun page). This way, my readers don't have to feel they have to make a sacrifice to stay honest. I hope this fragment gives you further insight into Edward's head and adds a new dimension to the Twilight story. That's what inspired me to write it in the first place.
I do want to take a moment and thank the wonderful fans who have been so supportive of me over the past three years. I cannot begin to tell you how much each of you means to me. I only hope this note will stop all the confusion and online speculation so that the Twilight universe can once again become the happy escape it used to be. After this incredibly busy year, I am now focusing on spending more time with my family and working on some other writing projects.

Water Wings; A Maximum Ride Novel

Maximum Ride and the other members of the Flock have barely recovered from their last arctic adventure, when they are confronted by the most frightening catastrophe yet. Millions of fish are dying off the coast of Hawaii and someone--or "something"--is destroying hundreds of ships. Unable to discover the cause, the government enlists the Flock to help them get to the bottom of the disaster before it is too late.
While Max and her team are exploring the depths of the ocean, their every move is being carefully tracked by Mr. Chu--a criminal mastermind with his own plans for the Flock. Can they protect themselves from Mr. Chu's army of mercenaries and save the ocean from utter destruction?
"A James Patterson Pageturner"
In the spirit of the most enduring hit movies and books, James Patterson has written this story for readers from ten to a hundred and ten. Special care has been taken with the language and content of WATER WINGS.

That last sentence isn't a good sign for Max or Fang! They're at least 14 and they talk about nothing we do! And nothing new happens between them! Mr. Chu?
Thanks Sophie for the tip.

Wow. We might all have wings one day.

Check out this site, it's scary, and absolutely positively real. Winged bird kids will no longer be a figment of our imaginations it seems.

This is freaky too:


I changed some stuff on the sidebar. I've added a section for books we've written and put out into the publishing world. Alicia will be joining that list soon no doubt.

I got my haircut today. It's pretty and perfect and really really soft.
