Hmmm. Don't know if I agree with the annoyingly hyperactive is "intense". Richard Simmons seems annoyingly hyperactive to me, but I wouldn't call him intense. Instead, a brooding intellectual would be "intense". Someone who asks, "Why is there something rather than nothing?" during sex or (reads Capital III or the Grundrisse while masturbating...oh yeah,baby, commodity fetishism ;) Very often you think you want to know this person, however, in fact, you keep making up excuses to avoid having dinner with her/him.
