I accompanied my boyfriend to go listen to The Wharf Rats with Nancy Jones play some good classic rock. The music was excellent, but that didn't change the fact that I felt, as I usually do, massively socially awkward. Eye contact with performers in a small venue practically makes me break out into a sweat. (See here for a video I made about that whole topic.)
I thought that this might be a good opportunity to indulge in some One-roll Yahtzee Fever inspired activities. I took off my Greek Fisherperson's hat, and rolled the five dice that I just so happened to be carrying.
The hat was necessary because there were big slats in the table, and the dice would have rolled right through. Also, I didn't want to be knocking over everyone's beer in an effort to get the dice that would inevitably fall on the ground.
I had the chance to make 241 rolls that evening, and I have to say, it significantly reduced my feelings of social anxiety. There was something reassuring about having a little something to do. It was also an activity that allowed me to converse and be engaged with my surroundings at the same time. No one-roll Yahtzee this time, but I plan to continue at my next opportunity.
In the interest of full disclosure, a couple of the 241 rolls were made down the street at London Bridge pub, while listening to Microtonic Harmonic.
And that brings me to another issue. Can I continue my tally where I left off? That's what I originally did in my video where I got a Yahtzee after 1,116 rolls. After 1,105 rolls, I had somewhere to be, so I left, and picked it up the next day. I just couldn't bear to start all over again. Does it matter if you do it all in one sitting or not? There's something more exciting and romantic (maybe that's a stretch) about doing all the rolling at once, but is it breaking the law if you don't?
