Making Conversation

In American Studies last week Mr. O'Connor asked use to try and see how people start conversations with other people and how topics came up. When he asked us to do this I thought to myself and I pictured me at my lunch table listening to other people's conversations and just looking like the creep in the corner trying to be in the conversation. But when I got to lunch I trying to think of different topics to talk about with my guy friends because the girls are always having there own little side conversations. I thought that i could talk about how me and my brother were play fighting with each other but then I said to myself who would want to here that. Then just when i thought of something cool to talk about my friend Nick started telling me how he's going on vacation. He just did that to rub it in my face but luckily I lost my train of thought. Then I just started thinking of something new. But when I was thinking of different ideas I noticed that all my friends were all different and I was to busy seeing what I could think of instead of listening to how others were starting there conversations. Which helped me see how people have great conversations
