I tend to get excited in a very specific way, going into full fan mode fairly quickly (see this drawing for a visual explanation). Once I get rolling, I become a constant broadcaster, excitedly telling my friends about my newest obsession, while I wave my hands around in the air for emphasis. This excitement is called "fangirling" (or fanboying, as the case may be), and it's fairly common behavior when it comes
