Scene: My boyfriend's living room
Characters: Me, my boyfriend, and his roommate
We're all playing video games. I wouldn't say it's a common occurrence, but recently we've been playing Mario Party on the Wii. It's a fun game and it's socially enjoyable. I don't love video games, but the fact that this is basically a strategy board game played on a different interface.
This has become one of my favorite social activities. I love spending time with my boyfriend but I do find time with others extremely stressful. However, this is a great way to be social while also be distracted by something else that requires attention but isn't overstimulating. I enjoy the game and I think the critical thinking and strategy it requires takes up enough of my brainpower to keep me focused on the game instead of the socializing.
I absolutely have a hard time focusing on one thing. I've always had a bit of a hyperactive mind. However, for whatever reason, this activity is one that's currently working to calm my brain a bit and keep me on one enjoyable task.
