Time for Bold Print (But No Reason for It.)

So does this ever happen to you non-smokers out there? My girlfriend loves to invite people over and go outside to smoke, leaving me alone with the person. Most of the time it's friends so it doesn't matter too much. Plus a lot of our friends smoke too so everyone goes outside to smoke. That's cool though. Even though I get left inside like I'm some kind of leper or something. But quiet time by myself is something I enjoy. Occasionally some of these people I am not very acquainted with and they don't smoke. So when I'm left alone inside with them, there is some awkwardness. Like one of us wants to say something but neither of us really knows what to say. It's worse than my 'when I'm watching football' complaint because football isn't always on to grasp my attention. Oh and by the way, if you're a close enough friend that you know about this blog, and actually read it. I'm not talking about you.
