Ashley - There's a Feeling in the Air...


When there’s a feeling in the air, you know, that one, when you’re all just standing there, and it’s
so….

quiet.

Too quiet. I don’t know what to say. No one is talking. Why isn’t anyone talking! So I start
rambling

on…

and on…

and on…

Until finally I realize that everyone is staring at me and I’ve said too much.

Um…. this is awkward.
