Me and media

My experience with media has always been great. I have had a computer in my room since I was in third grade and I have had internet for about the same amount of time. Even though I had the option to be on it all the time I didn't really use it all that much, just to write papers and play that "Snake" game, which is still one of my favorites.

One year for Christmas I asked for a Nintendo and got a Play Station, because my dad said it was the next cool thing. He has always been up on the new electronics so I have always bee up on the new electronics too.

My parents never really cared what I watched on TV or at least they never told me I couldn't watch something, maybe because I was never really interested in watching the "bad" shows, but either way I always felt free to watch what I wanted. But I didn't really watch all that much TV, but I did watch two movies ALL the time, The Sound of Music and Grease, and of course the one show that I always had to see, Gumby.

Now I have a computer that I am on all the time, which may or may not be why I am debating whether I should be a comp. sci. major. I am typically manipulating photographs on Photoshop or playing N64 simulator games. But I watch some TV these days but not much. I do watch The Secret Life of the American Teenager and Reaper and the occasional Star Trek and Firefly. I love movies, any kind of movie. Grease is still my all time favorite movie.

I enjoy reading, but I don't have any particular genre or author that I really like, I just pick up books and if I like it I like it, it's as simple as that.
