Alexander Holgate MonahanVery true - we are of like minds. Back
  in the 3rd Grade I remember some friends mocking me for always
  being the first to clap, or clapping after everybody stopped. I
  always wanted to clap first, clap the loudest. I didn't care
  about my friends making fun of me - I wasn't clapping for them;
  being someone who was put on stage a lot as a kid for piano
  recitals and plays, I *knew* how it felt to be standing up
  there. Every clap counts. "
