My baby--I mean PSP.




Unlike most people, I do not have an iPod. I would rather keep my music, video, and even pictures on my PSP. More than that, I also love playstation video games. With my PSP, I can play them on the go. The graphics look much better than on the Nintendo DS, which is a plus for me. However, people often ask if my PSP is my brother's or something. Why? Because people aren't likely to believe that girls play video games. Just because I'm a girl, they don't think the PSP would be mine when if fact, this is the only thing that belongs to me. I bought it myself with money that I earned through a tutoring job. It's my baby. That's why I'm almost offended when people ask who's it is. It's obviously mine.

I guess this could be seen through a feminist lense because in the past few years, girls have been getting more and more into activities that were once male-dominated, such as sports and video games. By even being seen with a PSP, it shows that I'm not interested in things like make-up and clothes as much as I am in video games. Boys find more respect in girls who have the same interests as them, so they feel like they're on the same page.
