fyi, "quixotic" comes from the great novel "Don Quixote: Man of La Mancha". Our protagonist, Don Quixote, is living in a romanticized, idealistic world of his own creation. A famous well known chapter, which I am sure you have seen on Wishbone, Jenn, is when he fights "dragons" which are actually windmills. So, in short, one definition of "quixotic" is an adjective used to describe someone living in a reality of their own designed to make the world seem better/happier. (And yet ironically this is viewed as being so very sad in many ways.)
