i understand all these responses....dang its so nice hearing this stuff from others finally....im not alone..it makes me feel so much better.

that being said i have been able to get up in some places and do some skits and perform...i love making people laugh and i guess i can do this because....while i am scared to death to get up there in front of people..once i do..i am not me...i am the character i am playing......i play characters really well...i play one every day.....then i go home and just cocoon myself to de-stress from it.....
