Off my game

Inspired by the Redhead and ruminating with Leigh and Jen, I've been pondering what it is that I look for in a person. Is it better for someone to make you nervous or to make you feel at ease, comfortable? There are people who can still make me nervous even though I've known them for years. Being nervous around someone doesn't always translate into something bad -- I mean the kind of nerves that make you more aware of everything, the kind of feeling that makes you try to be your best self, makes all your edges sharper. The kind of nerves that throw you off your game -- but in a good way.
