I might seem mentally well on the surface, but I literally get a euphoric rush when I figure out how complicated computer projects work

you could give me the most painfully boring project known to man. This could be a subcomponent built specifically to do the most boring task in the world but if you make it super complicated and ask me to start figuring it out I'll literally get dizzy from excitement, and that should constitute as some kind of diagnosable mental illness

@puffball: ubertownie This specific curse is why alt.sysadmin.recovery used to exist on Usenet. The curse of seeing things and wanting to see it all and put it all together!
