Love the song, but brings back bad memories
When I was at school I had a mega crush on a girl in my year. By about the age of 14/15 we had become good friends and hung around in a group of about 5 people.

I'd asked her out a couple of times and been shot down with the old "We're just such good friends and I wouldn't want that ruined if we broke" bollocks.

Back to the story, our little group had planned a trip to the cinema together. I can't for the life of me remember what movie was showing and I probably didn't care much then either. All I knew was that it would be the perfect place to make a move once again (very perseverant...or stupid).

Fast forward to the cinema, we're sat in our seats and as luck would have it I'm sat next to her (I say luck, I near enough punched one of my female friends in the face to get her seat).

As the movie plays I begin to get more and more nervous, I haven't thought this through; HOW do I make a move? What do I do? FUCK! At this point, my good friend N decides to grab my hand and put it on the girl's leg (oh the hilarity) which I quickly move away and give N a swift smack.

Then it starts to dawn on me that maybe THAT'S not such a bad idea! Brilliant in fact. So gradually my hand makes its way to her knee (I cringe just thinking about it). She looks horrified, but I keep my hand there, god knows why it just seemed like the best thing to do, as if she would eventually get used to it.

After about 10 minutes (that's right!) I move my hand and we watch the rest of the film, with her clearly very pissed off. She ignores me as we all head to the bus stop and keeps it up all the way home.

Breakout by Foo Fighters was always one of my favourite songs and whilst it's not the "angriest" song in the world, it seemed perfectly suitable for the situation. I think I wore out about 10 AA batteries over the following week as I replayed that song over an over on my CD Player.

It still remains one of my favourite songs of all times, but I always look back on that day and think "what an utter fucktard!"
