YTalking 101
(I'm not sure if I've said this before but anyway.)
Have you ever been in that situation where you want to talk to someone but you just can't? It's an unusual situation. One where you'd like to talk but your head is completely devoid of any topic of interest. (The person you're usually talking to is a friend or an acquaintance. Not a close friend.) It's not that there's nothing to talk about, actually. You have to find a topic which is not too personal, yet not too general (e.g. the weather) and when you're thinking of all these things you're usually quiet. So you don't talk.
It's funny. Do you talk about stupid things with your friends? And what would be a stupid thing, anyway? And if someone asks you about dance do you say, "Oh, it's all right," and just leave it as that and wait for another topic to come up? Or do you really tell that person what you really feel about it? (Or, you could ask, "How do you know I'm in dance?" but that won't amount to anything) What if that person's practically a stranger? That's the problem, isn't it?
Someone should write a book about it. Talking 101. It will fly off the shelves. In an age where communication across the globe is instant and there are more ways of communication than ever before, i find it ironic that i can't find a topic that will allow me to spend 5 minutes talking to someone.
