Aw, shucks, I guess I'm pretty amazing :P

I'd say so. Olde English is basically another language you appear to know fluently

Well, I'm an actor and memorized that bit for a show. I couldn't make up prose in old English, but I understand what I'm saying.

Yes, I see...Improv! I did acting and musical theater through my teen years. Something happened, anxiety, actually, not with public speaking, but panic attacks. Out of fucking nowhere! I stopped. I wish I hadn't. Plus, my mom wasn't a stage mom, thank god, so I was able to stop and refocus.

I have a dear friend who suffers from anxiety. She does improv with me in an incredibly warm and supportive community and says it helps her immensely. ComedySportz. Are you familiar with it? There are CSz communities all over the world.
