Internet

• There were around 174 sites listed
• I heard of 23 of the sites, a few including daily booth, facebook, xanga, and the Ning.
• I do know of the Numb journals which were not listed in the list, it specifically for Linkin Park fans, but there are forums where you can talk of anything, and the journals it self are for blogging.
• Outeverywhere: is socialnetworking site created for the LGBTQ community where they can plan events and get togethers and meet other people who share their interest
• I myself, usually just those type of sites to keep in contact with my friends and share to them random things about me, I also use it to meet new people that I will eventually consider friends.
• As of right now, the site that I use most often is facebook. I use it everyday and have it open in another browser even when I am doing something else.
• There were several instances were a social networking site has helped me. One of them including would be the times that I was really having a hard time with my personal life. By blogging my situations and emotions and having my real friends and online friends comment on the events and tell me things to help me and tell me things that relate, I was able to bring up my self esteem and eventually feel better about the situations.

Movies/Recordings

My favorite movie of 2009 could easily have been Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I have been waiting for the movie to come out for such a long time, that I was an ecstatic mess when I was finally able to see it. I waited in line for 9 whole hours just to see it in the midnight premier, Just the time that I waited in line to see it in theaters shows how obsessive I am with the whole franchise. The movie of course didn't disappoint me, I was in the edge of my seat every second of it.
