It's especially hard if you aren't big on sports or current events. I did have a friend once who made the best small-talk ever, if you can call it small-talk. We'll have not seen each other in a month, and we'd see each other at a cafe, and the conversation would start something like this: Him: "Hey!" Me: "Hey" Him: "I just found out that Volkswagon Beetles were originally war vehicles." Me: "Oh, really?" We would then launch into a hearty conversation about WWII fighting machines. Other times it was about the origin of the Gothic languages or the Vikings. Now that's what I call small-talk. - Chas http://chas.willowrise.com I hear you with the small talk thing.
