It is time to socialise and make small talk.......
How shall we do this?
Let me explain:
The person before you has asked you a question. Now being a pleasant guest you shall answer. See, small talk! Now, you will want to welcome the next guest by asking a question of them.
It really is as simple as answer and ask. Please remember you are a pleasant guest and this is only small talk, albeit of the amusing kind. Some possible questions mght be:
- What book are you reading?
- Where did you get that lovely ensemble?
- Do you think Brad Pitt is over-rated?
- Who was your favourite Bond, James Bond?
Please, keep it non-personal and ask fun questions. And yes you can come back to mix and mingle, in fact I encourage it.
Question for first person:
When is the last time you read a short story and do you recall who the author was?
Priority One. Story about the young Australian girl caught up in the London bomb attack.....author no...but does its still count if it was in Readers Digest?

Oh, my question! Sorry. Who is your favorite fictional character?
Posted by: shoeaddict | July 23, 2007 at 12:49 PM
Oh dear, I have so very many favorites! I'm afraid I can't answer that...but if I were going to choose a particular character to *be*, at this moment it would be Eve Dallas from J.D. Robb's "In Death" series. She so tough and strong and doesn't take any crap.
If you could do one year of your life over again, would you? Why?
