Oh, I wasn't always terrible, heh. I actually used to basically be in charge of a bi-monthly sketch show in high school, and I'd write and perform with my friends and we'd oftentimes find ourselves just winging it out there. Those are some of my most cherished memories, and it was definitely one of the best feelings I've experienced. I think the difference from those skits and from the improv exercises we'd do is the fact that with the scenes, I at least had the scene rolling and was in a zone where I could react and move things much easier. In the other situations it was basically a dead stop and then attempting to say the right thing to get all that momentum started.
