I got into Skins right back when it first started, and there was huge amounts of hype over here because it was supposed to be all quirky and gritty and groundbreaking showing teens like no other, or something. So of course I watched. And geeked out over it excitably at likes_chicken, and he was about the only other person I managed to enable into watching back then.

Then I made this journal just as they were airing the second season (and in fact played Effy veeeery briefly at another game a year before I app-ed her here), because of course, not content to be a normal person and into one of the main characters, I went 'oh hey, I think that little sister that lurks around and doesn't talk is awesome'.

And then at the end of that season they announced she was taking over as a main character for the next two, and I was all \o/ (ofc they went on to totally mess her up, but-- Not the point of today's babble.)
