Oh, I Do Love A Good Intrigue

The word "intriguing," when used to describe someone, is a terrible, terrible choice, unless you have only just met them and intend on changing the word for a better one in the foreseeable future. It's almost as bad as "I miss you," I think; both strip the subject of their reality and make him into a shadow puppet, a tangible memory, something unreal, but compelling....

It's a mess of watery gruel you're feeding them. Be careful -- no one wants to feel that way.
