After all these responses, now I feel like a weirdo, like there must be
something wrong with me.

I just build stuff. Starships only get a few good swooshes; I want to know
if parts are liable to fall off. Once it goes on the rack, it just sits
there; the next time I pick it up will not be to swoosh it, it will be
to tear apart half of it and rebuild it.

In fact, sometimes a starship gets no swooshes. I've got an ongoing project
starship that's now only passingly related to the Galactic Mediator. I can't
swoosh it. It's way too big now...

It's been this way since I was a kid. I've always prefered the design and
the creation to the actual "play".
