It's things like this that inspire me to be an obsessive Photoshop geek.

ob·ses·sive /əbˈsɛsɪv [uhb-ses-iv]
–adjective
1. being, pertaining to, or resembling an obsession: an obsessive fear
2. causing an obsession.
3. excessive, esp. extremely so.
–noun
4. someone who has an obsession or obsessions; a person who thinks or behaves in an obsessive manner.

There wasn't a dictionary entry for Photoshop.

geek /gik/
–noun Slang.
1. a carnival performer who performs sensationally morbid or disgusting acts, as biting off the head of a live chicken.
2. a peculiar or offensive person, esp. one who is perceived to be overly intellectual.
3. an expert in computers (a term of pride as self-reference, but often considered offensive when used by outsiders.)


I especially liked the first entry for geek. It speaks to me at 3:52 in the morning.
