MODULE #2: Michelle's Personal Media Inventory

BOOKS - Do you read books? What kinds of books do you like to read? What’s a book you are currently reading that you are enjoying?
-I really like reading books. I actually started reading lots of book about a year ago, because before I did not really like reading. I really like reading fiction - like drama, mystery, romance, and funny. I am currently reading ‘Just Friends’ by Robyn Sisman. So far, this book is pretty good. I have read the whole series of Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, I think almost every girl that has read that series enjoyed reading it because it was pretty amazing. I also read ‘Crank’ by Ellen Hopkins, I am hoping on reading the other book this author has written as well. But overall I really enjoy reading.



NEWSPAPERS/MAGAZINES – Do you read newspapers or magazines? What kinds of newspapers and magazines do you enjoy and why?
-I enjoy reading fashion magazine like Vogue, Seventeen Magazine, and People. I really like to know what is in ‘style’ even though I am not like a fashion freak, that loves to be on style. But I do enjoy knowing what is in ‘style’. I also like reading Sports Magazines, like ESPN The Magazine, I like keeping updated on Sports. And I also like reading the local newspaper.

MUSIC – Do you listen to or play music? What kinds of music do you like to listen to? How do you listen to music – via cassettes, MP3 files, radio, or live performances? Who is a musician you currently are listening to?
-I really like listening to music, I do not know how to play any instrument, but I really like hearing other people play. I find it amazing how someone could play so good. Well the ‘type’ of music I am like always listening to rock, alternative rock, bachata, meregue, and mostly all Spanish music. One of my favorite bands are Paramore, Metro Station in English. And in Spanish my favorite band of bachata is Aventura. Ever since I was little I loved that group. Some solo artist I really enjoy hearing is Kelly Clarkson,Gwen Stefani, and Britney Spears. But I really do not like a favorite genre that I like. Most of the time when I am hearing music I listen to my iPOD or radio when I am in the car. So overall music plays a huge role in my life. Actually next month I am going to see Britney Spears perform live, I am really excited for that! =D


TELEVISION – Do you watch television? (I have not watched TV for 20 years, but I used to watch hours of TV a day as a kid). What kinds of TV do you like to watch and why?
-I rarely watch television, but when I do watch it, I’m either watching One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, 90210, Privileged, and almost every night I watch the Spanish News with my mother. But I really like to watch chick flicks. I guess it’s because I’m a girl. But I only watch those shows for entertainment. But when I watch the news, I find it very interesting what’s happening around the world.

VIDEO GAMES – Do you play video games? Which games do you play and why? What is your favorite video game experience right now?
-I don’t really play videos games, maybe is because the only “boy” of the house, is my dad. And I have an older sister, therefore I never really was that interested in video games. But the couple times I have played, it’s really fun. The most recent game I’ve played is on a Wii, but other than that I don’t really play video games, but I’m pretty sure it’s fun to play.

COMPUTERS – Do you use computers much? What kinds of things do you do on your computer?
-Well I go on the computer probably on a daily basis to check my e-mails, chat with friends, play online games, to check if there’s any homework, and get directions. So I usually get information from computers. I also use Paint, Microsoft Works. But overall, my family and myself use the computers a whole lot.

INTERNET – Do you spend much time on the Internet? What kinds of activities do you most enjoy pursuing on the Internet?
-When I use the internet, I am usually on MySpace, or MSN to chat with friends. But now that I am involved in the DOTCOM program, I use Blogger more often. But overall, I use the Internet almost every single day.
