Elephant!

Why does it feel like there's an elephant in the room?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has felt like this before.

Don't you just hate it when you're hanging out with someone you barely know? It's an effort not to get up and leave.

So I'm celebrating a friends birthday, and I don't know anybody else there besides another close friend who is clearly uninterested in hanging out with me. Striking up a conversation is like trying to convince death to spear your life!

And it's not just the elephant in the room that bothers me, but the fact that I would never try to get along with those kinds of people outside of that room. The loud, girly type. I didn't feel at place at all, and where as I love the birthday girl to death, I just wanted to get the hell out of there before the room ran out of oxygen!
