Have you loved something to the point of being overjoyed?

That's what The Kinks do to me. Even after Pete Quaife has left for Heaven, it still makes me happy gone crazy. It's like I'm 21, again listening to those particular records and CDs. I have to listen to a variety of other artists, just to keep an even keel. To me, an attack on The Kinks, is like an attack, on a woman's body. You can put me down, for liking The Monkees, but don't ever put me down, for liking The Kinks, because they are my life, and identity.

Well, I love anything to do with outer space, and it gives me a sense of joy and excitement when partaking in anything relative to cosmology.
I view cosmology as, quite literally, one of the most important topics in the universe, in that it is the universe.

Music, Jeopardy and other game shows(everything in the world is right when Jeopardy is on) trivia in general, board games(Trivial Pursuit), the internet, forums etc, I just love the way the internet works and the aesthetics of it, OLD NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES, advertising in general, foreign language and culture, reading. I guess I'm just an information junkie.

Many things bring me intense joy. It's possible that the joy I get from certain things is greater than anything others have experienced. My greatest pleasures in life are music and computers. Technology is almost like a sexual fetish for me; it's that arousing, but in an intellectual way rather than an erotic way. When I listen to certain music, I sometimes get so lost in it that my heart races and I sweat profusely.

Another thing that adds fuel to my fire, is the Internet, and especially posting here, on WP, all day and every second evening. WrongPlanet almost makes me feel manic, because it makes me very happy, to be here. It's my new energy drink. Who needs an energy drink, when they can get high off of WrongPlanet?

The buzz you get from an energy drink isn't really "high". A high is a term for a specific neurological state where perception and mood are altered in a certain way, often accompanied by euphoria and/or hallucinations.

Best example might be tequila. it was the first strong liquor I actually liked. Went on to drink 2 beers before pouring down 16 shots of tequila within 2-3 hours. I was 17-18 so one might guess what it did to me.

After throwing up all night the hangover was the worst ever. I couldnt keep anything in my stomach and had to throw up every 15-45 minutes. If i brushed my teeth and swallowed just a tiny bit of water in the process, it made me throw up. after countless times of throwing up stomach acids, the intervals of the throw ups began to get longer (from 15min to 45) eventually allowing me to drink after 6-8 hours of pain at 4 o´clock in the "evening".

But basically whatever I do.. I do it till I get tired of it or get something better to do.

Im afraid of sex in a way. Ive set myself some strange guidelines. I guess its about my imago. I dont want to have people thinking im a gigolo while in fact im only searching the right one? When the right one comes along, she might not fall for me if she has heard of my reputation. I guess its about me seeing so quickly whether or not things are going to work out with girls. I guess I'd just have to step up and start actually learning to break up with people. I dont know tbh.

What DO you call that, then? (Inquiring minds really do want to know.)

I draw GREAT joy from my faith, which is also a special interest (and I find that a blessing, personally ). I also take GREAT pleasure in my other interests, especially Star Trek. I've had past obsessions that were that way too. I had reason in one case to forcibly break an obsession, and in addition to other things that were going on in my life at the time, I felt a terrible grief. Still do not want to discuss particulars in public, but yes, I have very deep emotional attachments to my obsessions.

Energy drinks are legal stimulants, you definitely get "high".

Is it weird that one of my special interests is a person? I'm confused when people say that love shouldn't hurt. Even if it is perfect, it's sort of achey because ..I'm not sure why actually
The same thing happens when new Harry Potter movies come out. I'm get so happy and excited and I start pacing around and I'm so hyper that sometimes I get sick
Which is sort of the way I am right now, except it is a someone..and because I miss that someone it is kind of plus a sense of stagnancy and uselessness. Even with Harry Potter!.. I somehow want more out of it.. It's confusing. I know everything I can know, but I need more. I don't know how to apply that to my person, but it's the same.
I'm done rambling..

I feel exactly the same way about a band that I love. (I left out the last part of your quote because I don't feel it's an attack on me if someone doesn't like them. )

Food, is another one, with me. I love food. :O)

If anybody was to ask me what my favourite food was, I'd answer, "Almost everything."

It's okay for somebody to tell me, that they don't like The Kinks. It's just not okay for people to put me down, for loving them, in 2010 like it's 1965. People like that, are telling me in a roundabout way, to live for today, in the present, to fit in, with the NT world, and I'm not ready to do that. I don't think that I'll ever be ready to abandon the British 60s, just to fit in, with the majority of the human population, when I have nothing in common, with the majority population. That's what I was getting at.

If it's out there, I haven't found it yet. If I was better adjusted when I was younger, I probably would still have a couple obsessions. Actually when I was younger, it was opening a pack of baseball cards, that beat any stimulant they sell nowadays.
