Mental exercise.

Whether it be being immersed in a good game where I have to watch my ass, building immense structures or vehicles, or simply work on a tough 'problem' (which mostly involves logic and management grids in yet more games), I get exhilarated when my brain gets to work out (and I say work out literally - it's happened before that I thought myself into short-breathedness and exhaustion).

But yeah - long story short, I get comfort by being distracted by everything and nothing, and feel even better when thinking about shit that doesn't matter (because things that matter, in my life, tend to be really fucking depressing/frustrating)
