Mysterious

I have a friend. He is very mysterious. Paradoxically, I believe that I know him well--that the face that he shows me is that of the real man--while I've actually seen only a small aspect of him. And although he claims to be just 'your average Joe,' I don't for a moment accept that as anything but a cop-out. He is, I think:

• fascinating
• sophisticated
• intriguing
• frustrating
• hilarious
• considerate
• attractive
• determined
• charming
• protective
• gunshy
• intelligent
• stubborn
• generous

I wonder what my friend would think of this list? Or if he'd even identify himself from this post?

[A disclaimer to my other friends, who may think I've finally flipped my lid on this—trust me, it makes perfect sense. It is, as they say, "all good."]
