Totally addicted

In the title, of course, I´m not talking about this blog. 5 months without even watching this web isn´t what anybody could see as an addiction.
No, I´m addicted to SKINS.

That´s why I write today. And why I write in english.
I need to impruve writting in english. It´s funny cause I can speak to anybody in english and read (except Trainspotting, but that´s another story) but all the grammar always has been muy worst subject.
Maybe like this I correct it. Maybe all the people who read this can help me (I mean, Ismael, Yolanda, Judith, even Elena if she wants to) and maybe you don´t mind to read it or find another blog if you don´t like it.

Anyway, I mark today´s pint:

EVERYBODY HAS TO WATCH "SKINS"


I heard about it from a friend. We were talking about "As if", one of my favourites tv series, about crazy, unhappy, funny and insecure teenagers. When I say it was one of my favourites is like when somebady says "I also like Star Trek" or "I had the Spice Girls third album" quietly.
But I loved it. And we talked about the characters, the situation, even the way it was shooted.
And she said: You should watch Skins, you´d love it!

Finally, yesterday I found the way to watch in english (thanks youtube!). I just wanted to watch one espisode, maybe two.
And I watched the 9 episodes of the first season.
And this morning the first three of the second.

I can´t help it. And I know why.
It´s not only the characters, it´s what our screenwritting teacher said. You have to write and create from your experience, because we all had shared experiences and, when you feel that you have lived something there, they have all your attention.

There are thins you have in common with all the characters: the nerd phase and the fall in love with your best friend´s girlfriend, the girl who needs to be pretty all the time, the friend who wants to fuck everything that moves, the talented friend who doesn´t believe she can be also a woman, and maybe in a estereotype way, the anorexic, the gay and the musulman. But they are not the typical.

you have a musulman completely obsessed with sex and who is not sure about their beliefs...
there is the gay who can fight to anyone at the neighbourhood and proud to be, and needing to show and not to hide...
and the anorexic, the happiest girl. You never know if Cassie takes drugs or it´s because she doesn´t it.

In the first season, I stay with her and Sid and their no coincident love story. It´s so wonderful when she shows him the way she hides the food without eating... So sad and nice at the same time
And who didn´t have that love who doesn´t pay you attention? the one who notice thins too late? the one that you´re are all the time looking for each other so never together?

Please, watch Skins.
and sorry if you get bored.

Hi there. I won't comment on the series, since I haven't watched it at all, but you asked for help with the english so...
Most of the errors you commit are what I suppose are simple typos (errores tipográficos), like the missing "g" in "things" (you wrote thins).
One thing I did notice: to shoot is irregular, and its past paticiple is shot, not shooted.
Apart from that I can not make head or tail of the last sentence ("the one that you´re are all the time looking for each other so never together?"), I don't know what you were trying to say there. If you tell me what it was I can tell where you went wrong.
Hope this helps.

By the way, "musulman" is not a very common term (as far as I can tell) in english. They usually use "muslim" instead. According to wikipedia, musulman in english has become archaic. But it's not an error per se.

wow! you´re nice! thanks!
I need this kind of help.

ok, the phrase:
"the one that you´re are all the time looking for each other so never together"

I guess it would be more like: love. two people love each other (or persons?) but they´re never together, in the same place. he goes where he thinks she is, and she goes where she thinks he is.

isn´t it?

See you!!!!
