this used to happen to me too. my mind would go blank. I always thought that I should only say things if they were important, not just babble on. but the truth is, it doesn't so much matter what you talk about. even silly stupid crap that doesn't mean much of anything can help you bond to people. open up. trust yourself. relax. it's not really that hard, unless you let yourself make it hard.
you know, you could always talk about some of the dumb questions people ask on this site

I read the newspaper or wacth the news just to have something to talk about at work. Whether its a power ball numbers, the sports scores the general news and even the weather is a good one if you can predict the degrees by the hour thats good office fun. Seems you need to loosin up and find some creative ways to make your shyness work for you. But don't get to self center.

stop thinking so hard, and just go with the flow.If you really freeze up, try to think of some questions to ask people before you head to a social function. EVERYONE loves to talk about themselves, so ask lots of questions, and you'll see a conversation develop. Ask them where they are from, where they go to school, what their favorite band is, how big their family is, what their favorite thing to do on the weekend is, and just see how things develop from there.

Try talking about what you have in common...or what you guys feel like doing...maybe memories...just think, and the first NICE thing you think of, say it..soon a convo will blossom.

Ask a Q then shut up and listen.
Ask about their home life, what they like to eat, anything.

A couple of beers and you'll be talking so much they'll be begging you shut up.
