So I'm obsessed. Whatever, you gotta have a hobby right?

This really isn't part of my ongoing campaign to get alobear to break down and watch Season 3 of Skins. Honest...
But really, look at the pretty.

This - made by mercifulpoetry for jengrrrl - is 1 minute and 22 seconds of solid awesome. And that icon? That's me every time I watch it ...

Meanwhile, I'm rather wondering how Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip didn't get picked up for a second season ...

So, you're going to keep trying, are you? :o)

Isn't getting me hooked on Gossip Girl enough? Skins is just too traumatic - I'd rather stick with shallow and fluffy!

It's ok, I mostly know when I'm beaten. Mostly ;)

It can be traumatic, and season 2 was horribly so. I think they completely messed up the balance there, to be honest, and a lot of it was pretty horrible. In season 3, they did a much better job of balancing out the light and dark bits, and there is a fair bit of fluff mixed in with all the heavy emotion. And the central love story is just glorious.
I do spend a large amount of the time that I watch it crying my eyes out though. That's one of the things I love about it :)
