Aaah, a thread about Hardcore World of Warcraft players! Should this be directed to Tilted Gaming? j/k

Due to obvious legal reasons, no TFP member will admit to "being crazy" so as to maintain their security clearance. TFP is actually a covert office under the Department of Homeland Security. We're all here to serve as glorified, self-righteous hamsters to psychological prodding.

Yeah, I don't know... "crazy" is such a wishy-washy value statement. It's either "crazy" or "not crazy" ("a little crazy" is even more elusive) and the definition could be psychological (internal processes), social (behaviors), or simply wearing socks with sandals.
...
Hah, I was totally your definition of "crazy" when I joined the US Army.
1. I was useful and functioning. Physically fit and going to community college while working a weird job. A degree of skill in oddball tasks like hiking long distances, shooting things, eating disgusting bag-food, sneaking up on people, and making Dakota fire holes.
2. I had more socially awkward vibes in me than the unnecessary locker room scenes in Top Gun. Peers? They're scary!
3. My world picture was very middle class white boy: spoiled, naive, cranky, pathetic, clueless, sheltered, etc.
4. My sense of self hadn't been defined yet because I had yet to be drop forged by any real life experience.
