but she's so pretty and i don't mind

So, I caught up on Skins finally.

I'm pretty meh about it. I'm not sure if that's because I feel pretty meh about everything lately, though. In general I'm just not particularly happy with the way the storylines are going and the way the characters are acting, but I'm going to keep watching.

It's been a while now but cut for spoilers anyway? )

and the way the first scene in the first episode was filmed

YES! Gorgeous!! Glitter and blood.

I loved the scene with Emily standing on the rooftop saying "It's all so fragile" because FUCK it's true. People think friendships/relationships are so strong but really all it takes is one wrong action or wrong .. thing said....and things will never be the fucking same. I guess I especially relate now because of shit in my own life but that really grabbed me. And her talk with her dad!!! Heartbreaking and aw. And her saying she wasn't strong like her mother and her dad saying that was okay too. sdkjfkdsjf!!!

And poor Sophia and I'm intrigued by her.

And Katie's needing Em is adorable yes.

And Freddie has noooo personality, no. He has a hot younger sister tho. Where is she?

Did you see my fucked up Skins dream? It was so...fucked up.

Depressed and unmotivated is my life, darling girl.

*snuggles*

Aghhhh you. ♥ I was going to leave you a comment earlier, because I went out to the supermarket and bought some vodka, and I kept thinking of that post you made about shouting on the subway and how nobody really pays strangers THAT much attention. And I've been told that countless times really, but what freaks me out is the idea that people pay me any attention, you know? But I kept thinking about what you said, people having their own lives and their own issues, and it helped. What you said about provoking judgement in order to prove it doesn't matter was very similar to something my aunt (who is a psychologist) said. And idk, I'd had a few glasses of wine and stuff, but I was still worrying on my way there, and thinking about your entry honestly helped ( ... )

♥♥ Ugh, it's just the kind of thing I feel like nobody gets, so it's so great to know of someone else who DOES get it, especially someone who's managed to get on the subway and yell shit and come out unscathed. XD ( ... )

Idk, me and my girlfriend are pretty okay when we go around my school or on the streets. She did get a beating when she was with her first girlfriend though (she's only 23, not that old!), I guess times change quickly, and also Naomi and Emily live in the UK, which is pretty advanced as far as LGBT rights go.
Also, HI :D *HUGS*

I guess it depends on the situation, and the people around and stuff. I just know how my experience (in the UK, obviously) was, and it...wasn't good. I was younger than them, but a lot of the bullying was from people their age, so. I don't know. Times definitely could have changed since then, I guess!

HI YOU. *hugs back*

I agree about her being less intriguing now. I honestly think that the 'Effy falls in love' storyline COULD have been done well, without making her OOC, but because they chose the most boring character on earth to have her fall for, it just...doesn't work. Sigh.

It's weird, I get what you mean about Katie. I don't like her as a person but I'm becoming more interested in her character. God, I just love how Skins never makes people like, plain good or plain evil, you know? When a character is unlikeable, they delve into their personality and history in a way that really makes you end up intrigued by them.

I'm working on finishing up this ridiculously long (like I'm going to have to split it in two to post it, it's so long) Cook/Freddie fic, so you can check my journal for that really soon. If Karen shows up this season and gives me inspiration or if I rewatch S3 I might be tempted to write Freddie/Karen, yeah. I'll let you know, anyway. :)
