I always think of wht I will do in a disaster when I'm inside somewhere... how I would get out if I was trpped, etc. Yes, I want anti-anxiety and anti-depressnt s**t, but I don't want to lose this ability either. Is this normal? :)

I think I make a good escape artist. I always find a way around somthings. It comes in handy in some video games and D&D I play a halfling rogue in D&D and I have blade boots to stab giants in the arms if they get ahold of my character. Alot of people get stuck in video games like metal gear and splinter cell when they get captured. in the first metal gear when you are in a prison cell you hide under the bed and when the guard comes in to see where you went you K.O. him and run off.
Of course you are only as normal as you want to think you are.

I'm not sure how hacker and escape artist go together, but I'd have to say yes to hacker. I've (legally, on the job) compromised over a hundred Internet servers.

In answer to the original question, yes. I am. Hasn't been useful in my life so far.

In the general sense hacker means using what is available to you for you own ends. Botching means using things that are available to them poorly with no plan or understanding because they just want to pick the quickest/easiest way for them and it provides and inadequate solution. The first people to use the term hacker as a group were not coding but breaking telecoms or 'Phreaking' by simulating signals such as making free conference/international calls.

I good example of hacking: I was outside in the garden when the spindle broke on the back door and I was locked out. The door bell was ringing and my sister was coming. I looked around and found a thin piece of wire. Broke in rushed through and answered the door.
