Yesterday was Chris's birthday so I made him breakfast. He came over Tuesday night and I made him a birthday dinner (shrimp alfredo). Things are going really well. I asked, because I wanted to know for sure, and yeah, he's my boyfriend, lol. I told him about some personal stuff dealing with being pagan and my past. He accepted it, even if he didn't fully understand it. I think he might get it more than he realizes though. He had asked me why I liked him. Apparently we both had crushes on each other last semester but he overheard a conversation where I said the word fiancee and he thought I wasn't single. Anyway. I told him and after a few minutes I asked him why he liked me. He said the standard stuff (smart, cute, funny) but then he said I didn't take shit from anyone and also that whenever he's around me he feels calm and relaxed. He said I made him feel warm just being near me. That is what kinda blew my mind. He doesn't understand energy but he definitely feels it and probably reads people based on it but he doesn't know that's what he's doing. Or maybe I was just broadcasting again, since I have a tendency to do that unknowingly.
He also brought up me moving. He's worried about it but we decided to broach that subject closer to graduation. Chances are moving to Ireland won't happen. He asked if I was considering staying in Michigan. I told him Hell NO. The weather here . . . I can't take another winter, I hurt too much. He has an uncle in Austin (where I've been heavily considering moving with Candence) and an aunt in Houston. He going to be doing his co-op for the NITA (my degree as well) program this summer and it might be in Texas. And he said he'd be willing to visit me and I know I'll be coming up to Michigan occasionally anyway. It's definitely possible that we'd be able to do the long distance thing.
Anyway, my shoulders haven't been so minimally tense in months. I'm pretty damn happy. Graduation is coming up and I'm excited. I'll still take interviews in Ireland, if I can get them, and take a job there if I get an offer I can't refuse but I'm not the type of person to throw away something amazing in pursuit of something that might not work. Maybe I'm a pussy that way.
