The Clash, “Listen”
“The first gig we ever played was at what we used to call the Mucky Duck (the Black Swan) in Sheffield. We had a song called ‘Listen’ which had a bass line that went up in scale and then down a note to start, and Paul was so nervous that he just kept going up the scale and we all fell over laughing ‘cos we didn’t know when to come in.”

We don’t get to choose who we love.
i really don’t know. here the whole high school thing is a bit different - every school specialises in something (e.g. language school, humanities school, economics school, maths school and so on) and we don’t get to choose subjects/courses in the beginning of the year; instead we choose a school in the end of year 7 and based on the school you’ve chosen you get this set of subjects with usually 2 which you kinda ~major in. i got into a maths & natural sciences school and i’m majoring in maths and compsci but i also have shitload of physics, chemistry and biology classes. continuing to study something maths or at least science related in college/uni would be the logical thing to do but i just don’t know. sometimes i wish i could become an archaeologist or a psychiatrist or a cook or something completely unrelated but then all those years in high school would be pretty much wasted??? but gah man i really don’t know and atm i really don’t care either.
