Ebay
The only thing that I found on ebay that was weird was the broken pencils. Why would any one want a broken pencil, someone is going to pay $10 for it. My dad is really into buying stuff off ebay, and one random thing he bought was this huge rusty old train sign. He is really into trains and like to collect stuff, but this sign is in his workshop just sitting there. There is nothing you can do with an old sign, why would you ever spend a couple hundred dollars on it. I personally think it is a waist. I also found all these people trying to sell chips and peanuts that are just mishapped. I think most the people who are trying to sell things on ebay have a problem. I am sure three fourths of the items on it, never get sold because they are jokes.

Reaction to 'Once'
The movie was a good but it was boring at the same time. There was to much singing, and I am not really into that. I was kind of mad that they did not end up together in the end. It was kind of random all together to, just with the vacuum and stuff like that, that had nothing to do with the point of the movie. The songs that were in the movie, were really good though. I caught myself the next day singing them in my head. I really like when you showed the movies. They were all so good, the one about the hippies was really interesting, surprising since it was a documentary, which are usually boring. The movies helped me get through the papers. I also really liked the one with the biker and they went around the US trying to help save the planet and stuff. It was really educational, made me not want to eat meat anymore.

Toys
When I was young, I got alot of stuff that came from my older siblings. But one toy that was truly mine was my easy bake oven. I got it for Christmas one year and I loved it. I would always bake cakes and brownies on it. I would even make all these chocolate ones, knowing I wouldn't eat them (because I don't like chocolate) and give them to my family. Every Christmas after that I would get Stuff to bake in my easy bake oven. The older I got the cooler the items got to make in the oven. When I would use the easy bake oven, I would always ask my mom, but after like 5 or 6 years since I had it, I asked my mom and said she gave it away. I was so pissed when my mom did that, she said I never used it anymore. It is not like I am a huge cook right now or anything but I do love to cook random things that I am thinking about. Especially when I go home for a weekend I always try to make dinner, but rarely it tastes good. So it looks like my easy bake oven days are over.

TV shows
When I watch TV, it has to be funny. I am not really into Law and Order or CSI, they are to serious for me. My favorite show right now would have to be Rob and Big. I know it sounds really lame but I love the humor on the show. It is about a famous skateboarder and his body guard living together. Rob acts like he is a kid, and is always pulling pranks on his cousin they call Drama. Every Tuesday at 9:30 I am with my friends just waiting to laugh. The show is made for a younger audience. It is on MTV so that gives you a hint on how serious it really is. The third season is coming to an end this Tuesday, it is kind of sad. This is the last season of the show too. If someone has not seen it, I recommend they rent the seasons.

Advertising
When I watch tv, I usually change the channel when I see ads or commercials. Alot of them don't really affect me in any personal way. The ones that do get me are food commercials, they really get me hungry. I can say I saw something like subway on tv and went out and got it. It is really funny how hard people try to advertise. For example, I was watching American Idol and they were all talking about how iphones are so useful and they are really cool, and it was not even a commercial. My sister and I just started cracking up how dumb it was. But when I do really pay attention to ads on the street or commercials is when they really funny, or there is like a song going along with it, and it just gets stuck in my head. Also this on commercial was playing and it showed a guys car door getting knocked off and then it said 'what would you do now', not saying anything that it was representing. I got so curious I went to the website, it was for insurance, I never would of went there if that commercial didn't get me so curious.

Race in america
After I read both of these articles, it really made me think how much people have gone through just to survive. Obvioulsy race was a bigger deal around 50 years ago, but it is still an issue now. What Martin Luther king jr talks about in "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is racism as a whole, how everything is segregated like water and bathrooms. It also talks about how africans americans would use non violent protest and still get arrested just because of their race. Race these days is nothing likt that. In obamas 'A More Perfect Union Speech' it talks about his life and how he had a hard time. Also how he wants to try to solve racism in amercia and everyone is one. The difference between the two speechs is how Obama wants to do this, but is not saying how he is going to do this. Martin Luther king jr actually does protest and goes to jail trying to make a difference. Not saying that Obama doesnt care but racism has been a factor for so long and everyone is going to have there own opinion about it.

Spring Break!!
For spring break Angie went no where. She stayed home literally all day and hung out. Just laid around and played some video games and did some homework. It was a good mother, daughter time. On Thursday Angie's sister came with the baby and was going to stay the rest of the week. A lot of family came over to see the baby, so it became more exciting. Then that weekend all Angie's friends came back from school on their spring break. It was good for her to see all her friends again, since she has not seen them for a while. Then sadly break came to an end, and Angie had to go back to school. It sucked even more because she went home on Sunday after the hockey team lost, so she was even more disappointed.

My Family!!
I would not be able to function with out my family. There are always there for me. I have a older brother and sister. My sister and I shared a room our whole lives till she went off to college in 2003. Every year we go on a family vacation, sadly they are starting to end. We are all getting older and my sister just had a beautiful baby girl. When we would go on our family vacations we ALWAYS drive, and i would say i have been to about 39 states in my life time. I feel that is why I am so close with my siblings becasue we were stuck in a car for days. My favorite trip would be when we went to colorado. It is so pretty and we went horseback riding through the mountains, and saw wild coyotes and moose.

A modest proposal
I really don't understand this reading but what I got out of it was, it is talking about how poor this country is, and how the kids are either beggars, or sold to people that will eat them, and then after they are eaten the bodies are used for clothing like gloves or boots. Parents are raising their kids just to be sold, to make more money until the next baby is born. It sounds like Jonathan Swift disagree with this practice and would like the country to be able to give money to the poor and not feed off children. I don't know for sure if this is what he does want to propose, but what it sounds like to me.

My Name
My name really did not come from anything special. There is no cool story or background behind it. The only thing that I really know is my mom just liked the name Angela but my dad didn't. After they talked about it, my dad realized he could just call me Angie. But if I was a boy, they already had a name picked out for me, it would be Christian. That was my great uncles name, and my dad was really close to him. Since I am not a guy that obviously is not my name. For my middle name, I am not for sure but I think it came from my mothers grandma, so my great grandma. The most original middle name it could be too, its Marie. The meaning of my name Angela just speaks for itself, angel (my parents sure got that right!). But the real meaning is messenger of god.

Winter is one of my favorite seasons. The snow is so pretty and fun to play around in. The only thing that is really bad is how cold it really gets. When it is below freezing I start to get a little mad. I never go outside, not even to go out at night. I just stay inside and hang out and watch a movie. That is fun for the first two weeks, but then it just gets old. I am for sure an outside kind of person, so it makes me sad when it is so cold. I might actually get depressed when I don't go outside. I like to just be alone for some reason, which is not me at all. The one and only thing I would do if it was freezing outside would go snowmobiling. It is such a thrill to do and you can only go when it is winter, so when you got the chance you got to go. Coldness has its up and downs but I would not want to live with out it.

To pick one song that is my favorite is hard. I never really have been asked this question before. I like so many different kinds of music. The one song that sticks out at me is "Yellow Submarine" by The Beatles. It is not really my favorite song but it has most meaning to me. I have always liked The Beatles since I have been little, I just started to listen to them recently and it is really good music. The music played now is good for a week, and then it is overplayed and so annoying. The Beatles are classic.
The reason I picked Yellow Submarine is because it reminds me of my past. Not really the actual lyrics, but just the 'being' of the song. I would play this song over and over again, just singing and dancing in the living room. When I think about it, the song is kind of annoying. The song just makes me think of how young and innocent I was. Not having a care in the world, just loving life.

My Favorite Place
My favorite place would be up north at my grandparents house. It is right on Leech Lake. The most beautiful place I have ever been. I love just being outside, breathing in fresh air. When I am up there i will go fishing, swimming, and golfing. These are not things I would usually do if I wasn't there. Sometimes when I am there though, the best thing to do is just sit outside and listen to all the noises. It is so much different then the cities. There are ducks quacking, and birds chirping, and the loons always singing. Even the smell of being there feels cleaner. The only thing bad about up north is when I have to leave.
