Swim out past the breakers, watch the world die

So, I was going to have an easy week next week. It's half term and I was just going to work the evenings and weekend, leaving the days free to catch up on college work, type up all my notes properly and do my history A2 coursework. And I was going to go to the movies, for the first time in two years and break in my beautiful hockey skates that I've had for two and a half years and never had the opportunity to use.

...unfortunately, bills have arrived. So, it looks like I'll be working about 60 hours next week and again trying to fit all the college work around the stuff that pays the bills. And no fun outings. *sigh* I mean, it's OK. But do you ever get those days when you just feel like it doesn't matter how hard you work, you never actually get anywhere? Yeah.

Still, it'll be worth it at the end of the year, when I have the grades I need for a good Uni. So. Yeah.

Anyway, emo aside - have a song! I love this song more than words can say. And this is why - when I was living in L.A for a few months, I had a buddy called Ryan. There's...a lot I could tell you about him and his life and the shit that went on with him but that's going to be the subject of a book one day, so I won't. But this song was his song. Until I heard it and I fell so utterly in love with it, he said it was mine - it was never not playing in my old beat-up Dodge. Maybe y'all will hate it but it'll always be L.A, and Ryan, to me.
