How much music do you have on your computer?

gabrielgadfly @gabrielgadfly (110) • United States 23 Jun 09

According to itunes, I have about 48 straight hours worth of music on my computer, meaning it would take two full days to completely play through my music library. I know that's small compared to some people, but I'm fairly picky...

Why are there so many accounts with avatars?

gabrielgadfly @gabrielgadfly (110) • United States 30 May 09

You see tons of accounts here on MyLot that don't have avatars set. If you haven't set yours, why not? If you do have an avatar set, does whether or not a user have an avatar impact your decision to respond to their topic?

What was your favorite college course?

gabrielgadfly @gabrielgadfly (110) • United States 30 May 09

I thoroughly enjoyed my college experience, but there were one or two courses that stuck out in my memory as some of my favorite learning experiences ever. I took a course on advertisement writing that was a lot of fun -- we...
