Do you remember seeing a movie you were not allowed to see? Discuss the experience.
When I was a little girl and even now I find it hard to make it through a horror film. As a child if I even watched part of a scary movie I couldn't sleep by myself. So i would always end up in the bed with my mom. I remember going to stay the night with my cousins one night and my mom over heard my cousin say lets watch Scream tonight. I always envied my cousin because she was older than me and I didn't want her to know I was too scared to watch it so I said okay. My mom quickly came in there and said I was not aloud to watch it because I would be up for days. When my mom left we went into my cousin's room and we turned it on, always being sure not to let it get too loud because we didn't want to get in trouble. I thought that was the scariest movie. My cousin just laughed at me through the whole entire movie. I pretty much watched the whole movie with my head in the pillow. That night I couldn't sleep at all and when I went home the next day I just cried to my mom about how horrible and scary that movie was. I had to sleep with her for a few days.
How often do you go to the movie theaters today? How often do you play DVDs on a television at home, or watch movies on a computer? Which experience do you prefer and why?
My friend JP and I use to go to the movies at least once a week. There was always a movie that he wanted to see so he would drag me along with him. We don't go quite as much now because we are always so busy with school and he is always busy at work. I am always watching movies in my room. It doesn't matter if they are old or new. I hardly watch TV unless one of my shows are on. I don't normally watch movies on my computer because the screen is so small and i can never get in a good position to watch a movie because I gotta hold it and make sure it is still on the charger. My preference really depends on the movie. If it a new movie and I cant wait to see it then i will go to the movies and watch it. But I think maybe I do prefer to see a movie at home because then I can be as loud as I want and if I need to do something I can always pause it and come back and then I don't have to miss anything.

Chapter 5
1. Describe your earliest memories of watching TV. What was your favorite show? Which shows did your family watch together? Were there shows that you were not allowed to watch? Which ones and why?
I remember when I was little I loved to watch anything that came on the Disney Channel. Lizzie McGuire was one of my all time favorite Disney Channel shows. The problems that she faced were not too crazy and she was an all around cool character. I was super excited when they came out with the movie. There was one show that topped any other show on TV and that was Boy Meets World. My sister and I would watch that show every time it was on TV. It was funny and entertaining to watch. We always said if Eric Matthews was not on that show it just wouldn't be as great. As long as I can remember my family and I have always watch American Idol together. I wasn't a small child when it started coming on but I was young. We loved to watch the auditions and laugh at the ones who were just plain awful. We would always pick our favorites and we would call in an vote for them. Now we still watch American Idol, but we also love to watch So you Think You Can Dance and Dancing With the Stars. My mom never told me that I wasn't allowed to watch a certain show but we knew not to watch anything too crazy. One show I never watched was South Park. I personally didn't find it appealing to me and I knew my mom wouldn't be okay with me or my siblings watching it.
2. How much TV do you watch today? Which programs do you try to watch regularly? What attracts you to your favorite programs?
I would say that I watch maybe 2 or 3 hours of TV a day. I really don't watch it much anymore because I am always busy. I do try to watch my favorite shows regularly. I love to watch Glee, One Tree Hill, and The Game. Those are my all time favorite shows. Comedy and Drama are what attract me to my favorite shows. One Tree Hill is a drama about a group of friends. I have watched them grow up and get married in the past few years. Anytime its on my eyes are glued to the TV. The Game is a kind of sports drama. The main characters are football players and their wives. It is a funny show and some of the main characters are super hot. I don't think i am shallow but i do watch shows that tend to have good looking people in them, but they don't all have to be good looking. I just like to have something to look at. I watch Glee because its has singing in it. I am a sucker for any kind of musical and this combines high school drama with music.
