    I acted in plays growing up (grade school) despite the tremendous heckling I received from my friends. I liked it a lot.

    Unfortunately, due to my behavoiur in all of my schools I was banned from participating in any of their functions in which I could somehow be the center of attention, or do something detrimental to the school on a grand(er) scale.

    So I did local theatres for a bit (high school) until I just didn't have time for it anymore. A lot of my friends didn't/don't know I did that though. Actually, I almost went out for "Alice" at a local shop last year but pulled out at the last second.

    My mother always found it incredibly discouraging and troubling that my schools took such exacting punishment on me instead of trying to cultivate my "talents." I acted up, told jokes, and everything in every class and when it came down to finally wanting to participate in something that was just that ... they would never let me.

    G-d bless private schools, haha!
