This will seperate the Men from the Boys, even if you don't like the 80s.
It's primitive, it's improvisation, it... is what it is.

I'm being dead honest. Without sounding too (god damn) melodramatic, there's an emotional connection I have to building, taking apart and fixing things. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's anthropomorphizing inanimate objects so much as appreciating that there's a history to them, and I often escaped the emotional and physical abuse dished out by my dad by tucking myself into a corner of my room and going apeshit bonkers with my K'Nex and Lego, churning out some really creative stuff, modesty be damned. Sometimes (at the SVDP) it felt like I was being disrespectful by just chucking stuff that couldn't be fixed or harvested for parts and copper into the scrap bin, but then again, the people did donate it for a reason.

That's cool. That's very cool. Fixing stuff is based all on improvisation.
