1. You’ve almost rear-ended the car in front of you because you were analyzing a font on a billboard.
I don't drive :[
2. You get pissed when a free Photoshop brush you download is less than 1000px in size.
I'm too poor to buy Phptoshop, and Xara Xtreme suits my needs as I mainly do vector graphics.
3. You’d rather study the paisley pattern on your boyfriend/girlfriend’s shirt than listen to what he/she has to say.
Girlfriends take up too much time and money which could be used to build websites.
4. You can use keyboard shortcuts at light speed, blindfolded, but you can’t type a paragraph of text without staring at the keyboard.
This is true for me... My touch typing isn't great, but I use keyboard shortcuts all the time.
5. You’ve had “Software Nightmares,” when you’ve been working way too much.
I don't have these because I don't dream, and I hardly ever sleep other than on weekends when I wake up at about 11AM (I usually go to work at 6.15AM, but I don't go to bed until around 12.30PM-1.00AM).
6. You consider meals interruptions.
You mean you can't type with one hand and eat with the other???
7. You’ve learned your lesson and stopped using the word “final” in any file name when saving.
I usually give my files odd, yet memorable file names that have little to do with what I'm doing at the time unless I need to use proper file names.
8. You clean your keyboard more often than you wash your car.
I have a silver ion coated keyboard on my laptop, meaning bacteria can't grow on it
9. You’ve intentionally given up trying to explain your projects to non-designers.
I just say "I'm working on a site".
10. You see CMYK and RGB like Neo sees the Matrix.
True, but I also use hex values more than is healthy.
11. You’d rather organize your desktop than your sock drawer.
I have drawers on my Linux desktop and I like to keep my desktop as clean as possible.
12. When you heard that Adobe was acquiring Macromedia, you had a Design Orgasm.
Not really.
Adobe is good at what they do, but I only ever bothered with Macromedia Fireworks MX as I've no need for Photoshop or the full blown studio packages.
Also, Macromedia had better application icons.
13. When you look at Album art all you see are grunge Photoshop Brushes. (Then you see the album art a couple minutes later)
14. You’ve Photoshopped out a watermark for a comp or mock-up.
15. You’ve actually $paid for a font.
I've never needed to buy a font, I've never needed to cut out a watermark and I don't really pay much attention to album cover art as I have an iPod.
16. You’ve totally slaughtered a great design concept because the client thinks he/she knows best. (everyone thinks they are a designer)
I refused to help my brother-in-law with anything as he asked me to build him a site (with no brief), discarded what I gave him because Frontpage hates standards compliant XHTML and CSS and demands tables... He then built
THIS monstrosity.
17. The amount of words you’ve written with a sharpie labeling burned discs total more than the amount of words you’ve read in novels.
This is true for me, but mainly because I've had so many variants of Linux in the past.
20. You’ve nicknamed the OSX spinning wheel. (and not affectionately)
True, bot since I don't use OS X, it's the little spinner in Ubuntu and the ring in Vista.
21. You bookmark a resource more often than you have a fun night out on the town.
I barely use bookmarks as I find it easier to just remember the addresses for things I find important or interesting.
23. You can’t go to a restaurant without secretly critiquing the menu design.
Sad but true... I do this with a lot of things, especially where hard to read fonts or poor colour combinations are used (I'm colour blind :[).
24. You have an amazingly huge font collection, and an amazingly short temper.
Everything from Arial to Xbox, and I'm not above reminding people that they can feel pain if I nut them.
25. If you had a penny for every mouse click, you would have been a trillionaire 3 years ago.
You say years, I say months :/
