"It never does a man any very great harm to hate a thing that he knows nothing about. It is the hating of a thing when we do know something about it which corrodes the character. We all have a dark feeling of resistance towards people we have never met, and a profound and manly dislike of the authors we have never read."

-- G.K. Chesterton

My birth order, if strictly chronologically, is 4th. I've spent about 8 years as the youngest child and a couple more as the middle child until I found out my 'cousins' are actually my siblings. (We don't do upfront in the family. *shrugs*)

My primary family (as of 2006) consists of
my father (49),
my mother (47),
my maternal half-sister (26),
my paternal half-brother (26, 2 months younger) who has his own family now,
my older brother (23),
myself (21), and
my younger sister (13).

MyDocs inventory.

October 14, 2006

Deep Thought, my laptop, had her hard drive replaced (37Gb) in the Great Warranty Abuse of August 2006. Since then, my academics file folder's size was considerably lowered as I neglected to include my documentary-related files in my backups (having no DVD burner and only dialup discouraged it until it was too late). Next to that is my fandom folder at a surprisingly measly 537Mb, followed by my videos folder at 1.98Gb, the latter's exponential growth induced by my newest fandom (Smallville) and spurred by the recent installment of wireless broadband in our household. Reigning champion would remain to be my music folder (3.98Gb), even if I have transferred most of my other mp3s to my sister's Creative Zen Vision (the family's mp3/vid player) already.

I think if I didn't have the habit of storing my photos online, my pictures folder would have the biggest file size. :D
