My couch…… is a state of mind. You have to get into the mindset that there IS in fact a couch, and you have to be able to perceive that it is a greater height than below the floorboards. Otherwise, you might think you were sleeping on the floor!

I don’t have any pets, aside from my pet dead plant.

From my Couchsurfing.org profile, written in 2004.

I do miss that dead plant.

1. You’ve almost rear-ended the car in front of you because you were analyzing a font on a billboard.
2. You get pissed when a free Photoshop brush you download is less than 1000px in size.
3. You’d rather study the paisley pattern on your boyfriend/girlfriend’s shirt than listen to what he/she has to say.
4. You can use keyboard shortcuts at light speed, blindfolded, but you can’t type a paragraph of text without staring at the keyboard.
5. You’ve had “Software Nightmares,” when you’ve been working way too much.
6. You consider meals interruptions.
7. You’ve learned your lesson and stopped using the word “final” in any file name when saving.
8. You clean your keyboard more often than you wash your car.
9. You’ve intentionally given up trying to explain your projects to non-designers.
10. You see CMYK and RGB like Neo sees the Matrix. [..]
