I have two e-mail addresses that I use. My school e-mail address, I've never gotten a single piece of spam in 2 years. Yay! My hotmail address I've had since 2001, and that gets its fair share of spam, but nothing too bad. I use that for LJ and to get my Newberg Reports, which is what fills up 80 of the 113 pages of e-mails that I have saved.
I have a hotmail one that I use for MSN and anything likely to get me a lot of spam or unwanted e-mails that I need to sign up for (forums, for instance), I have a college e-mail address that I used extensively while I was there and I also have a personal gmail one that I use for important stuff like applying for jobs, applying for university and the like.
I use le_vian@hotmail.com for all sorts of crap I need to enter an email address for. So that's where all the viagra emails go. My actual email which consists of my first and last name only, I use for more important stuff.
I'd like to say I use a hotmail address from 1998 for everything that I know will result in spam; a gmail account from 2004 for social purposes and a work address for work related things.
In reality I just use my work address for most things I know won't result in spam. :p
I've had a Hotmail account since 1999 that I still use regularly. Got Gmail in '05 and have been using that more frequently for more important/serious stuff. Had/have an AOL account that I've used all of maybe 3 times in the 5 or so years I've had it, and had/have a Yahoo account as well. I've had several other joke accounts for various purposes, but these days I just use Spam.la for that.
Then there's the one I use for work, and my address from my first ISP that I stopped using 10 years ago, but I still get e-mails from it (it was linked to my Hotmail). Hotmail and Gmail are the ones I actively use.
I've had gmail for longer than world of warcraft has been around; though my first email is from being warned by the 2nd day of it being live xD
Joy it doesn't take a lot of money to register a new domain name (say, Joyproductions.net), which should allow you to have a customizable email address from it. Failing that, I don't see anything wrong with neskaya.net =)
I wish I had a less gay email. intense.firetruck is gay and I don't know why I used it. Oh well. I might just make a new gmail account eventually. I think the professional ones are boring too. But I honestly don't think many people are going to take me seriously with intense.firetruck.
I change my msn hotmail username frequently though! :)
I'm awesome, because my name is taken. So my name is just [efail]myname@hotmail.com[/efail].
I got invited to Gmail before everybody got lots of invitations. That makes me cool, right?
I also registered an extra two Gmail addresses typed in slightly different ways than my main, which all forward everything except spam to my main. This to prevent losing mail because of misspellings. :-]
Additionally, I have a school address and one for sign-up forms. Also a barrage of addresses I don't use.
