Stephanie Meyer is maaddd.....

Stephanie Meyer, the world renowned author of the Twilight Series, was planning on releasing Midnight Sun (The Twilight book rewritten in Edward's perspective).  I say planning because she is no longer going to publish it.  In fact she is no longer going to finish it.  Some jerk who had the transcript put it online and when she found out she was very very angry. She said, "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... In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely."
Whatever jerkface did this should pay.  I think it is despicable that he/she posted it online.  I mean it's one thing if you have a copy of a draft, but to give it out so he/she ruins it for everybody else???? come on!!! 
That leaves Meyer's fans (including me) very angry as well.  I know i was thrilled to hear about Midnight Sun, i mean who wouldn't want to read about Edwards thoughts!!! Anyway, when i heard the talk at school that the entire (unfinished) manuscript was online i was confused.  Why in the world would she do that???
I think it is crazy the amount of crap you can get away with online.  I mean in personal finance right now we're learning about phishing and pharming, and i just find it plain creepy how people can sneak around the Internet without you knowing it.
Now what i will add to this is my thoughts on Myspace and Facebook.  First of all i think Myspace is unsafe.  The way that it is set up has no room for privacy and i don't like the lack of security.  Facebook on the other hand, i think is a lot safer. The security can be adjusted to whatever setting you want and you are your own administrator.  you filter everything that is coming in and out.  You can delete friends, and add them, and you can make sure that only what you want is on there.
Now that's enough plug on that.  I am trying to convince my parents to let me and my sister on Facebook, but so far no advances have been made.

Anywho... In words from the Theatre, Jess and I have been promoted!! Woo!  We are now the highly advanced roles of Baseball player #1 and Baseball player #3.  We have lines, i have 3 and Jess had 1 or 2.  Yes, it's very exciting.
