I don't wanna know if you don't want me, no...

I make Skins fanvids for YouTube, and on one of my Naomi/Emily vids, someone recommended that I watch South of Nowhere. Well, I looked it up and saw that it was a show from "The N," the same network famous for Degrassi and other silly teenage shit, but I decided to give it a try anyway. Now I'm ashamed to say that I'm on the second season... LOL. It's definitely not the best show ever, but I think the Ashley/Spencer relationship is a really, really good and pretty accurate portrayal of an adolescent lesbian relationship. As much as I love Skins and the whole Naomi/Emily pairing, the Spencer/Ashley thing is a lot more organic and much truer to how those things actually work. I mean, Naomi and Emily aren't even friends to start with; Emily just has this unexplained desire for Naomi and she basically stalks her until Naomi reciprocates. The meat of the relationship is good, but the premise and beginnings of it are a bit far-fetched, as Skins tends to be sometimes. With Spencer and Ashley, you see much more common beginnings of the relationship girls that age would have. Watching their relationship develop, I really was struck with how realistic it was, so I just had to post on here and give it my kudos.

Anyway... I've only got 3 more weeks here! Wooohooo! I'm so ready to be home :D

P.S.
Whyyy don't I have a Naomily icon? Must fix this soon. How else will I make it until the next series??
