See, I will always have this penchant for what I call kamikaze women. I call them kamikazes because they, you know they crash their plane, they're self-destructive. But they crash into you, and you die along with them.

I'm not anti-social. I'm just not social.
Woody Allen

The heart wants what it wants. There's no logic to these things. You meet someone and you fall in love and that's that.
