I know that Chaotic Energy/Crackhead Energy is like a meme and an overrused term now and I myself only use it when I feel the need but honestly I have camp friends/coworkers that land all over that spectrum and I often remember these traits at inopportune times, so enjoy

1. Eats apples from the top down, core and all. Taught himself to read Enchantment Table runes from Minecraft, for no reason other than he could. Got an infection on a cut on his foot and had to take antibiotics that were so strong that he couldn't be in direct sunlight for two days. Was almost 18 and expressed romantic feelings for a 14 year old. Had a legitimate cult of children (this was something beyond his control by the way, they all just decided to make a religon around him) that cut his intials into their arms with pocketknives. Routinely plays with fire.

2. Former circus clown- could ride a unicycle and juggle. Possessed a full suit of "chain mail" armor made entirely of the tabs off of soda cans, and a jacket of a suit covered in keyboard keys, both of which I have seen in person. Math major, scary smart in that regard, but lacked risk assessment skills and the general ability to forsee the consequences of his actions. I often had to remind him of laws, and one time when I wasn't around he accidentally made a dry ice explosive- a felony in my state-  three times. Got his hand stuck in an Easy Bake oven, which eventually had to be sawed in half to free him. I watched him chug a cup of coffee and proceed to teach a merit badge that typically takes five days in under an hour. This was Bird Study, and he did this by jumping off of a picnic table to simulate bird flight, and imitated several bird calls with stunning accuracy. One time, he brought me a mouse that a camper had caught and wrapped in a bandana. He did not check it. The camper had actually caught a bat, which, in a worst case scenario, could have wound both of us in the emergency room to recieve post-exposure rabies vaccines. Last I heard, he's going to Africa with a nonprofit to teach children there.

3. Intentionally chaotic, actually weighs his actions and decides on the most crazy way to do it. I don't really count that, but that's also chaotic in and of itself. Drank a minimum of three (3) energy drinks on a daily basis, about 1.5x the amount he should have recieved. When I asked about this, he simply stated that he was substituting one addiction for another, and did not elaborate. I assume he had a nicotine addiction, based on later experiences. Brought his own office chair, and carried it a quarter mile from the parking lot just so he could have a chair all to himself. We all still used it. A chemistry major, yet when I warned him that putting a glass tank heater that had been recently on and in fact scorched the table should NOT be run under cold water, he did not listen to me, and it shattered. I have watched him eat an orange, rind and all, like one would an apple. I watched him eat a card from his Magic: The Gathering deck simply because someone asked him to. A few minutes later, he had also eaten a harvestmen spider for a card from a camper. Later on we had a conversation about Forbidden Food, and I jokingly mentioned eating a cicada. Not two hours later, I saw a cicada, texted him about it as a joke, he then RAN over to where I was and... ate it, while I was googling frantically to make sure he wasn't going to get sick. We have to cook a fish every week for a class, and he (rather gleefully) set about that task. I was on the brink of a panic attack and he literally talked me out of it by explaining my place in the universe and how incredibly inconsequential we really are in the grand scheme of things. It oddly made me feel better.
