Written with humor and intelligence, her \"Broke Diary\" quickly found an audience as people wrote to Angela to empathize with, console, and laugh with her about her experiences and even share their own. \u003cb\u003eThe Broke Diaries\u003c\/b\u003e is the first complete compilation of her experiences, written in a voice that is funny, unique, and dead-on. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn buying ramen noodles: I am sooooooo embarassed. I only have 33 cents. I (please don't laugh) put the money on the counter and quickly attempt to dash out with my Chicken Flavored Salt Noodles. The guy calls me back  I look up instinctively, I should have run . . . Why didn't I run    He tells me the noodles are 35 cents. I try to apologize sincerely. I thought the sign said 33 cents yesterday, so that's all I brought with me. Could he wait while I ran home and get the 2 cents? I show him my student I.D. to let him know I am not a thief. He shakes his head and motions either for me to get the hell out of his store and \u003cb\u003enever\u003c\/b\u003e come back again or get the money as \u003cb\u003edo\u003c\/b\u003e come back.
