...when the idea of reading anything other than things related to architecture seems like a waste of time.
I agree.
I also allow myself to read business books and magazines because I figure I gotta know that stuff in order to run a firm someday. All of my reading material must contribute to my career. (Although I did buy and read one fictional novel in the past year because I was completely bored at the airport.)
When you sit in a jury for a 2nd year critique for 4 hours, unfazed & energized and eager to see if any of the students would recognise me in archinect.
when its 7:30am on a Sunday and you're reading the posts you missed the day before.
and architechnophilia, several of the students at the school I work at know who I am on archinect. its quite amusing, to the point that whenever I see one I'm greeted with "Pixel!"
when you're more excited to find out that your girlfriend, a sociology major, wrote about how Robert Moses' slum clearance projects really just created newer, less healthy slums, than you are about the new underwear she just bought.
When your willing to give up a beautiful Spring Saturday, to meet with potential clients, and they are not even paying you, infact you dropped another $100.00 on presentation board....ya yas a sicko~
this is great- When people find out you're an architecture student and ask questions like
-"what do you want to build, like houses and shit?"
-"man, doin it for the money right?"
-"who's your favorite architect?"
-"what's your favorite building?"
and your response is either utter silence to the point that the attractive girl at the bar feels amazingly uncomfortable and just leaves. And when your friends get back with drinks asks where she went and you proceed to tell them she was a dumb whore.
your response makes your non arch friends say something like "well shit dude, i didnt realize it was that big a deal"
you know you're an archidork when...
when you use your xacto knife to cut food at your desk
Ive been there too curtclay! haha
Sometimes when work is slow I use my xacto to give myself a manicure.

good morning, pixel!
glad to see I'm not the only one what an out of control internal alarm clock.
by the way, it's saturday, not sunday.
haha... my weekend is Fri-Sat and it throws me off sometimes.
Sunday afternoon, fighting the urge to sleep simply to catch up on archinect posts I missed yesterday
You take a date to DWR to look at the iconic furnitre. (Corbu Chaise, Eames Lounge, Barcelona Chair, Noguchi Table, etc.)
you big spender you!
when this gives you a chub:
when you're more excited to find out that your girlfriend, a sociology major, wrote about how Robert Moses' slum clearance projects really just created newer, less healthy slums, than you are about the new underwear she just bought.
when you are just so happy to have a girlfriend
when you go to the various schools of architecture to pick up dates
When your willing to give up a beautiful Spring Saturday, to meet with potential clients, and they are not even paying you, infact you dropped another $100.00 on presentation board....ya yas a sicko~
When you know that a Faber-Castell 8B has a completely different tone to a *shiver* Staedler 8B.
When you watch lame ass sitcoms just so you might be able to visualize the building section of the set.
when you designed that sitcom set and prefer designing real buildings instead. (even if that makes you a cadmonkey)
you go into a Starck bathroom and get upset that people actually use it
this is great- When people find out you're an architecture student and ask questions like

or you just disassociate with these people
you watch belly of an architect and think your life mirrors Stourley Kracklite
^hahahahahah
Working late involves missing the Colbert Report...."Architecture you're on notice!"
when you rather spend your money on drawing stuff than on food.. and you go back home and your schoolmates tell you: architect, uh?
You get pedantic about how your favorite firms prefer to write their three-letter abbreviations. Shoutout to H&dM! Wassup S-M+H!
doing a hardware schedule for a nursing home on a sunday a.m. while your family has gone swimming.
is this why architecture is your religion???
better than martyrdom, i suppose.
You get your good deeds out of the way early in the week, eh?
dating interrupts your conquering of the architectural world
brought a date to an architecture lecture... ran away!
at least you were able to get a date
you unconciously type in archinect.com... before getting your email in the morning...
you Archinect identity is a reference to the work you were doing when you first began to post
...your archinect identity refers to a radiohead song. wait that's not archi-dork... that's just all around lame.
besides i've got three reasons to be called postal:
1. posting on a message board
2. my former clients
3. i'm crazy
your reasoning:
1. i like the song, it speaks to me
2. i'm fairly lame
