Something I've noticed about myself is I get an adrenaline rush when something catastrophic happens. I felt like bouncing off the walls on 9/11. I felt excited during the tsunami or in the aftermath of hurricane katrina. I've had daydreams of life during a nuclear war, somehow imagining life would be more meaningful in such a situation. Every time we have a thunder storm or major winds I sit at the window hoping it gets worse. I think if I ever saw a tornado in real life I'd drive towards it and am not sure when common sense would take over. What do you think about this adrenaline rush I seem to get in the face of destruction?

It is possible I'm a christian? hehe. No, actually I'm an atheist that doesn't believe in the afterlife, although I can see how you'd get that impression.

Woah Kobain. There is a difference between enjoying conflict and not doing anything about suffering. I volunteer once a week at a homeless soup kitchen and raise 300 dollars for abused women and children every year.

Is it possible you're a Christian and know we're living in the end times, and know Jesus is returning soon?

Yes and no.
I can see why it gives you an adrenaline rush...conflicts and crisis' make life different from the normal routine...they give people something to talk about. You are right that life is more meaningful in that type of a situation because in times of crisis and conflict, we tend to think of life as very fragile instead of taking it for granted.
But, it is not normal to enjoy the death and suffering that come along with these conflicts and crisis'.

Normal - probably not. I'm the same way though. I had a fantastic time during the earthquake in istanbul, and I was THERE! :) Wars make me think, "More oxygen for me! WHEE!" And whenever theres a threat of major epidemic I think "Awesome! Invisible-to-the-naked-eye engines of death!"
To the christian above me, the end times are nigh! Await the rapture!

Kid, drop the idiocy. There's millions of people suffering so that you can have tennis shoes. There is important stuff to fix. Your government is filled with thieves and liars. The commit murder and rape in your name. It's time to wake up.
Like the German people, history will hold you accountable for the crimes of your government. What will you say then? that you got a rush every time you saw Palestinian kids gunned down or Iraqi families blown up?
It is very unhealthy to deny empathy to the rest of humanity. Stop murdering us and you might find peace.

I thin you need to pursue a career in TV news. You're describing what keeps most of the "newsies" going. It's a symptom of job security.
