A friend of mine asked me today 'How do you fall in love?'
Now, lets not get into how she decided i was somehow some expert on love, or falling into love, or even being able to express what that whole deal is like. Lets just pretend that I'm not that fucked up. That people can ask me questions. Lets pretend that I know what the fuck I'm talking about.
"Seriously, the answer is always head first. Sometimes your walking along, quite cool, quite calm, and all of a sudden your foot hits something and BAM! You're falling, head first, sprawling out, buss up yuh melon! That's when you stop seeing straight and start talking all fool-fool!
"And then, sometimes, you stand there and you have to psyche yourself into it. You stand there thinking 'Okay. This is it. I'm gonna fall. I'm gonna lift my feet up and point my head at the ground. I'm gonna break my neck. I'm gonna knock out all my teeth. I'm gonna eat so much sand and I'm gonna do it all on purpose because that's what love is.'
"Of course, this is hardly a pleasant prospect for any sane person. But, remember, you're not sane. You're considering falling in love, which means you're already thinkin' all fool-fool."

Her: How do you fall in love?
Me: Head first.
