asleep Airin

11:16 and I´m still asleep.
One thing that I like from Madrid is driving alone at night. Maybe I´d like to drive during the day, but when you live here and you drive during the day, you´re never alone.
So I prefer to drive at 6.00 a.m or 7.00, listen my cd player (Van Halen this morning), sing and drive calmly to my work.

I´m sure if you have read all the sentence you´ll find the problem: 6.00 a.m
what the fuck is somebody doing at 6.00 on the road at Friday morning? driving to work? why am I not sleeping?
I asked the same to myself...

When the clock sound at 5.00 in the morning you have to think that it´s seven, and that you start working at eight. That gives you some peace, and you wake up, you shower, and sometimes you have breakfast (I don´t because, I try but I nerver forget that it´s 5 o´clok). And you go downstairs looking for your keys inside your bag. And you get into the car.

Stop at the traffic lights.
Go on.
Stp again.
Orange traffic lights. Run or stop.
You stop. You make uo your eyes to hide how little you slept last night.
You run, you pass that red renault with the asleep eating chips driver.
You comb your hair.
Park your car.
Run to the work (this time, literally)

In my case, you ask for the key to the security guards and the ask you, as usual:
Did you have to come today so soon?

and I always smile and answer "Yes yes" laughing as if I were stupid. It´s the shortest way to come into the work.
I connect my computer. Wear my uniform.
and sit.

And nothing else. Just hours and hours and there´s nothing to do...
Internet, an ocassional book that you can´t read because you´re so asleep that all the words look like black butterflies... Internet

Still two hours and a half to get out of here.
any suggestions??

or any corrections to my grammar pleeeease?
This December I want to take a spot at the advanced exam (I want to do the exam and I can´t even write about, I´m going to fail!!!!!!) so HELP

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.
