Well dude, you're from Ohio, that is gonna make the art of conversation hard enough as it is. I am here now and talking to people has been my mainstay like, forever. But in Ohio the idea of interesting and topical conversation is unknown and in certain parts of the state...Illegal. But you can stem the tide by remembering a couple of simple things. One.... unless you tell them, you too are a bright witty and urbane kinda guy. They have nothing to judge you against. Two.... Strange pays off. Anything that is off the wall, came out of left field or is simply weird will generally either confuse people into thinking you are interesting or at least keep their attention until you have gone. Try it, you will be the hit of the next party..... Now go forth and sin no more.
