You have more e-mail addresses than you do pairs of shoes.

You design detailed floorplans before moving all of your furniture around.

haha i'm guilty of those, too. the floor plan one was when i was in undergrad and we had movable furniture. the tiles were 1'x1', so i drew a scale model of the room on my roommate's graph paper, measured the sizes of the pieces of furnature and cut them out. then, i moved the furnature rectangles around the floorplan to see what would be the best, most comfortable arrangement.

I'm safe. Nothing about 'You think Texteditors rulez.'

And I now do my best work between 9-11PM remotely on my laptop while watching TV on it remotely as well.

And I have cut back to 4 computers in the house.

Whew. I'm not a geek.
