I can fix anything given the time to do it. I am as always confident in 
my abilities to understand anything. That doesn't mean I won't spend 
years and years figuring out what I'm poking and studying and 
experimenting and so on.. I certainly don't know it all now.. but given 
time I can do it. The more I know the more I realize I don't know.. the 
more I realize I don't know the more starved I am to know. If I long to 
be immortal it's only so that I can spend all time consuming ever 
greater amounts of knowledge.

My greatest impatience is with living things. I feel that I could, with 
time, fix the ill or even dead.. but as such things eventually decompose 
I lack the time. I have for a long time felt that eventually I could 
unravel time enough to copy objects from the past into the present.. and 
when I reach that point I'll be able to give myself however much time I 
may need to learn to fix anything. I have a whole theory of how time and 
space really work and interact that I invented as a teenager and am just 
looking for the proper tools to manipulate those now. My own lil flux 
capacitor I guess you could say. Others believe in afterlife.. I believe 
in my own ability to hack anything.. so I guess it's not any crazier 
than normal.. just different.

I think most people enjoy solving problems.. they just feel 
uncomfortable challenging problems (so that they can then solve them). 
That and they are often to busy with more practical matters.

I'm both top down and bottom up I guess. I like fixing things but 
usually such that I can understand them better and thus make new and 
better things. I'm more of what you might call a tinker or an inventor 
than a repair guy, scientist, or engineer. Even as young as a toddler 
I'd take things apart and rebuild them as good as, or better, than the 
original. Half the time I don't know what I'm doing but somehow I get 
there anyway.. just intuit my way there. ;)
