how many email addresses do you have?

i have four right now and im not really sure why--one is for/from work, one is from school (getting shut down in a couple days) and then i have two "personal" gmail accts. but i dont really know why i have two--like i thought one was going to be for registering for shit and ordering shit online to stop the other personal one from getting spam, but that doesnt seem to work, plus i forget and am lazy.

how many do you have? what do you use them for? should i consolidate and just have 1 personal and 1 work email?

5: friends/family, work, ordering stuff online, Yahoo games, fake Arnold Schwarzenegger account

should i get a fake arnold schwarzenegger account? will it improve my life?

Every once in awhile I will just randomly send someone an email with that account, and I usually try to find some California gubernatorial press release to use as a template. It has definitely increased the quality of my life, but the trick is to use it in moderation.

I long ago forgot any addresses I made for that purpose. Poor orphan email addresses. Maybe they're all still out there somewhere, living on a diet of only spam. :(

Answer to the question: one main gmail address, one "signing up for shit and fuck 'em when they spam me" gmail address, one address on my main domain name that my usable gmail account forwards to (also used for pop mail, which is an extra step really, but whatever), and one "domain name admin" email address that gets no mail unless there's some trouble with a server somewhere. So, four.

work email
regular gmail
ILX gmail
random 3rd gmail I set up a while ago and I forget why now
the email that comes with my DSL that I never use
my old tra✧✧✧@somethingorot✧✧✧.c✧✧ addy that I only use as an msn login now
various username@the domain I own, also not used or checked any more (for all I know the webmaster address is full of crap)

AOL users are most likely to be overweight women ages 35-64 who have a high school diploma and are spiritual, but not religious. They tend to be politically middle of the road, in a relationship of 10+ years, and have children. AOL users live in the suburbs and haven’t traveled outside their own country. Family is their first priority. AOL users mostly read magazines, have a desktop computer, listen to the radio, and watch TV on 1-3 DVRs in their home. At home, they lounge around in sweats. AOL users are optimistic extroverts who prefer sweet snacks and like working on a team.

Gmail users are most likely to be thin young men ages 18-34 who are college-educated and not religious. Like other young Hunch users, they tend to be politically liberal, single (and ready to mingle), and childless. Gmail users live in cities and have traveled to five or more countries. They’re career-focused and plugged in — they mostly read blogs, have an iPhone and laptop, and listen to music via MP3s and computers (but they don’t have a DVR). At home, they lounge around in a t-shirt and jeans. Gmail users prefer salty snacks and are introverted and entrepreneurial. They are optimistic or pessimistic, depending on the situation.

Hotmail users are most likely to be young women of average build ages 18-34 (and younger) who have a high school diploma and are not religious. They tend to be politically middle of the road, single, and childless. Hotmail users live in the suburbs, perhaps still with their parents, and have traveled to up to five countries. They mostly read magazines and contemporary fiction, have a laptop, and listen to music via MP3s and computers (but they don’t have a DVR). At home, Hotmail users lounge around in a t-shirt and jeans. They’re introverts who prefer sweet snacks and like working on a team. They consider themselves more pessimistic, but sometimes it depends on the situation.

Yahoo! users are most likely to be overweight women ages 18-49 who have a high school diploma and are spiritual, but not religious. They tend to be politically middle of the road, in a relationship of 1-5 years, and have children. Yahoo! users live in the suburbs or in rural areas and haven’t traveled outside their own country. Family is their first priority. They mostly read magazines, are almost equally likely to have a laptop or desktop computer, listen to the radio and cds, and watch TV on 1-2 DVRs in their home. At home, Yahoo! users lounge around in pajamas. They’re extroverts who prefer sweet snacks and like working on a team. Yahoo! users are optimistic or pessimistic, depending on the situation.
