I don't mind you under my skin

My week has gone by quickly which is always nice. I have a better idea of what I'm getting everyone for Christmas and I plan on doing shopping for David, Erika, and Julie this weekend. Hopefully I can get everything done in one day but I know it'll end up being a couple of days since I ran out of ribbon; hm, although I can probably get that anywhere downtown.

Tyson met Mitch, David, and Erika on Tuesday night. I warned him about Mitch beforehand because well, Mitch is Mitch. I have to say that I was ridiculously nervous because of what Mitch might say, what Mitch might tell him, and how they would judge Tyson. Mitch talked a ton, go figure, and didn't tell too many embarassing stories of me but Tyson didn't get to talk much. I don't think they got a good feel for what kind of guy he is but they all said that he was nice. And at least this broke the ice and hopefully there will be more opportunity for all of us to hang out. Tyson's coming to the Christmas party on the 19th so that will definitely be interesting. At least he'll meet Julie for sure and Austin and Fox; if they show up. Which is going to be awkward...

Since the meeting went well, Erika is thinking about introducing her boyfriend to us at some point before the party. She invited him and is pretty sure he won't come but I think differently, I think he will go because this is such a huge step for her. I can see why she's guarded and stuff, but really, at what point will the guy be completely turned off by that? I am terrified to let anyone too close to me and I keep running the list of all the things I don't like about Tyson through my head but inevitably, I end up really liking him.

I don't know what it is about him, but he makes me like him so much. Maybe it's his blunt honesty, the fact that he is an amazing communicator, or maybe just the simple fact that he seems to really like me. I could always be wrong on that, but he does and he constantly tells me so. I just don't know what it is about him...sometimes I love and hate how comfortable we are around each other. It's weird because normally by now, I would be completely bored with a guy and I'd be looking for a way out of the relationship and for some reason, Tyson keeps me completely satisfied and entertained. I can't figure out why and for some terrible reason, this bothers me. Maybe I finally found someone that can keep me entertained and on my toes...
