eBay

I couldn't find another the item like the doll in my story, but I remember hearing a story about a "killing doll" being sold on eBay. The doll sold for about a thousand dollars and the picture was of a trunk chained up. The doll needs to be locked up or it will kill, so the story goes.

Story:
There is this guy and he moves into a new house with his girlfriend and dog. The guy selling the doll first gets it, because he buys a new house and the people who lived there before leaves the trunk there. The guy's girlfriend takes the doll and places it in there room to keep it there. A few days later the girlfriend leaves him and he doesn't know why, but when she left she seemed scared. The guy didn't know what was going on, but he didn't like the doll in his room so he puts it back down in the trunk that's in the basement. The next day he goes to work and when he get back his dog is died, he was stabbed with a knife and on his bed was the doll. He doesn't know what the doll was doing there and who killed his dog, so he puts the doll in the trunk again and buries his dog. The next day after work the doll was on his bed again, so he puts it in the trunk again then he eats and goes to bed. That night when he was sleeping he hears a noise on his steps, then there is a noise at his door. He answers the door and all that is there is the doll and a knife, he's not sure what's going on and thinks that someone keeps breaking into his house. He puts the doll back down in the trunk. The next day he takes a nap on the couch and he gets attacked by the doll with a knife. After the attack he locks it up in the trunk like it was when he bought the house. And the doll was up for sale on eBay just to get rid of the doll, and there is a warning to not let the doll out of the trunk.

My brother told me this story when he was on eBay and showed me the trunk on there. The way he told the story it was scary to hear, but it just sounds crazy after thinking about it again. And for the someone to buy this doll that you don't really know what it look likes and if it is even in the trunk is just crazy to do.

Paper/Movies

Since I wasn't sure if we needed to have the blog about the movie before class or in class, so I wrote about the movie before class just in case. The movie was good, but I couldn't see the whole thing with people were in my the way and it was dark at times on the screen and hard to see the film.

Watching the movies in class was very helpful to understand what you were wanting in the papers, since they were all related to what paper we were working on. The amount seemed right (one for each paper), because some of the papers could have been written in a different way and not exactly what you were looking for and if you would have done less the papers that didn't have a movie for viewing would not be as successful for the students in completing in the way it was to be about and if there was more movies then the students wouldn't have cared so much about the papers and think that the class would be a "easy float by" class with only watching movies. The amount of movies would depend on the amount of papers and how long the class periods were, because if the class was only an hour the students wouldn't understand relating the movie to the paper so clearly since the movie would be spilt into two days of watching and the movies message could get lost, so the purpose for watching the movie could get lost too.

The paper should be easy once I have picked a moment in my live to write about, but right now I don't know what I'm going to write about. On the other blog I wrote about the paper then too, and the time was worrying me: one I thought the paper had to be done on Wednesday and two not knowing a topic of my live story to write about. Now I'm not so worried, because the paper isn't due until Monday (more time to work on it than I thought) and with the work days I think I will be able to choose something to write about and complete it on time (or even early).

Movie ONCE

The movie we watched in class was about the two people's lives when they were meeting each other.  In the movie they were working with songs and weren't getting a break in live.  They decide to record some of the main male character's songs.  The time span of the movie was a week or so of their live and at the end of the movie they seemed to be doing better.

This movie will help me with my next paper, because it shows a time in the main characters lives that was being focused.  And this is a good method for the paper.  Since I don't know what the guide lines for the paper are it is hard to know if this is the concept for the paper or not.  I think that it is suppose to be an autobiography and the paper is a few page samples or focus on a certain situation or moment mentioned in the autobiography. 

I not really sure on what I'm going to write about in my paper, hopefully after I see the guidelines I will be able to pick out a topic in my life for my paper. The paper will most likely have some sort of part about my family, because we are big and are close with each other.  I'm not sure if I will talk about one of our favorite stories we like to remember about or just them in general.  The paper can be from my past, present, or a made up future and with these choices I'm not entirely such what time period or age frame I will choose for my paper.

Favorite Toy

When I was born I got a purple teddy bear and I named it Purpley. It was my favorite toy, because it was my first toy. I had it in perfect condition up until four to five years ago. Our new dog at the time got a hold of it and chewed up its ear, but I still have to this day. Now we no longer have that dog, but whatever toy she got a hold of she would chew it up and we would have to throw it away after a day or two, so I had to protect it until she got hurt.

Now I care for all types of animals and people. When I got a bit older I would play a computer game about running a zoo and now I take care of the little children in my family when we get together; I also take care of little toddlers when I do my volunteer work. I think that all of these developed in my interest to care for animals and children from my teddy bear. I would take care of it and cuddle with it and I started liking more and more animals, because I would want to make and have friends for my bear.

I'm majoring in art now and that doesn't have anything to do with my bear, but the next to choices for a career would to help and take care of little children, like at a day care- maybe like the area that I do my volunteer work, or to take care of animals and work with at a zoo possible. My siblings always talk to me about being with the little kids at family things, I say that it is because I the youngest. They don't think so and thinks that I should go into childcare for a career. I don't know if that means they don't like my art or don't think I can get a good job with my art major or if it is nice of them to suggest that I'm good with children. Complement or Insult- I don't really know?

TV Show

A show that my family has always watch (at least for as long as I can remember) is the Simpson's. When I was little we would watch it every night and every time airing it was playing. Before every episode we would try and guess what one was going to be play that night. Our guessing game wouldn't work now, because they tell you what is happening on the episode that is going to be playing.

The shows are very funny even the bad story written for the show have funny parts. The oldest episodes are the best and the newer ones aren't that good anymore; it seems they are running low on show ideas. There is one movie and they are planning to make two more movies still. There has been about 17 or 19 (something like that) seasons made; which is the longest show still running, so it must be pretty good. They were going to stop making new episodes, but they still are making them; and they could still make new shows until they are done making the other movies.

The main characters are of the Simpson family: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. They are funny to watch and to see what dumb things they are going to say or do. There are many other people who live in there town, Springfield, and can have main roles in a show. There has even been Christmas and Halloween show. They are very funny and think that you should watch the old show to see the humor in the show (really good and funny to watch).

Emotion

My family has done some very crazy things in our past; and when we get together now and talk about those situations it is extermly funny to all of us. Sometimes we talk about my parents when they were younger or about us kids growing up.

My mom has a few good stories like: her whole family was outside playing and went inside to eat, she must of been about five or so; it smelled really bad and they couldn't figure out where it was coming from- it turned out that my mom sat in dog poop, and her brother and sisters would play funny games such as bull fighting; during this my uncle would hold the sheet in front of the refrigerator and my mom would run right into it, since she was the bull. With there being four of us kids within five years we got into lots of trouble. Some starting even before I was born: there was cows that would always try eating my oldest sister when she was a baby, my second older sister would yell out of the car at the police station, "We're murders, we're murders come get us," good thing they never came after them, and my older brother would play with an iron instead of his trucks- he made his own truck out of that. There are many other stories and some of our favorite ones weren't even mentioned yet, but when we get together it is a good funny time for all of us; even when they aren't part of our family who are hearing the stories.

When I watch TV, I keep it on the same channel most of the time when I'm watching a particular show. With "channel flipping" I don't do it that often; my brother does it all the time and I don't like watching TV with him that often for that reason. I don't mind when I'm not watching anything or if I don't really like whatever was on. Some of the time I flip, but I don't do it all the time. With the advertisements I don't really look at them that much. The only time when I do is when something catches my eye, such as: the product, colors, songs, or even the actors in them. These same reasons are the same for if I don't like the advertisement. There are many I don't like and half I don't listen to, because I only pay attention to the ones directed to my age group. So when the advertisements come on I work on something or talk to somebody or think about the show I was watching to try and figure out what will happen next. The advertisements that I do pay attention to are usually movies. I like to watch movies and I like to watch their advertisements too. The other advertisement I don't really like and I hate when it gets to voting time, because politic advertisements are on all the time. They bug me lots, you never know who is telling the truth. Other advertisements bug me about adult things that I don't have to worry about and when that time comes I will have my parents help and I don't need to watch the TV to get that information; I wouldn't trust them that much really with whatever they are doing.
