( Matt finds it a little curious that a kid so interested in classic plays wouldn't have some interest in theatre and actually acting them out, though he's not going to push on it. some people just didn't care to be on center stage, there's nothing wrong with that. )

Lots of kids aren't. It's often something you get into when you're older, at least in my experience. I didn't read much as a kid, either, though that's probably because the orphanage didn't have much in braille.

( apparently that's a bit of a reoccuring theme in his life, oops. besides the bible, and he read a shitton of that, if that counts??? does that count... )
