My first attempt

Alrighty then…(Jim Carrey voice). Today I started my first conversation with a random. I must admit she wasn’t a complete random, she goes to university with me and we have only ever said Hi and Bye to one another. She was sitting alone having a cigarette in the quad. What a juicy target she provided. When I say “juicy” I stand far off any sexual insinuation. Her apparent allure on me was based on the facts that it wasn’t a complete stranger, she was alone & had just started her cigarette and there wasn’t many people around. Anyway the conversation began with me asking how her current assignment was treating her, which I felt was appropriate. Then after telling her about my assignment, I literally felt my brain empty out any English words I had learnt over the last 22.45 years. There was an all too familiar awkward silence, but thanx to the power of Marlboro, the smoke from her cancer stick terminated, along with her presence. I said goodbye and so did she, ending with “I’ll catch you later.” I smiled knowing that neither of us wished for such.
