Hello, my name is Marianne and I'm a download whore.

I knew my downloading habits were awful and out of control, but every time I checked my available disk space I thought something fishy was afoot, because surely mp3s couldn't be filling up gigabytes quite that fast.

Well.

It turns out mom was only using her shiny 140-gig external hard drive for transferring files, so she bought herself a flash drive instead and unloaded the external one on me.  I am currently less than 1/4 of the way through transferring all my music onto it, and already it's freed up ten gigs on my laptop's 55-gig hard drive.

Okay, maybe it was the music taking up that much space.  Shut uuuuuup.  Now I have plenty of space for it all.  For now.

My dad freaked out when he discovered that my entire music collection takes up *gasp!* 4.25-gig.

... er ... out of idle curiosity, how much music does it take to fill up 10+ gig ... ? *in awe*

Well, my music collection eventually turned out to be about 35 gigs, and when I load it all onto a playlist it comes out to 6213 entries. I have no idea how long it is in hours.

6213, multiplied by a rough estimate of average song length (which depends on the sort of music you usually listen to, but) of about 3 1/2 minutes, is ...

... er, a Lot of Time.

O__________O AWE.
