Today's Song: It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry by Glasvegas

I only found this song a couple days ago, it's totally amazing. I insist you download it.

The past few weeks Skins, which is a TV show here in England, has taken over my whole life, I eat, sleep and breathe this show, I know it's not healthy, but it's just a really amazing show.

It finishes next week, which I'm kind of relieved about, I get to go back to my life. Although I wish I didn't have to though, but never mind.

If none of you know what Skins is, or what it's about, sit back and I'll tell you a story.

It's about this group of teenagers who are just starting college, it follows them through a course of ten episodes, yes ten, sucks huh? each episode is about one of the characters, and is named after that character. It's on season 3 now, the first two series were amazing, but there is something special about this series, something that makes me love this series much more than the other two, something that has me wanting more, something that makes me become totally and completely obsessed. That something, are two people named Emily and Naomi.

Emily is a twin, she's overpowered by her twin, and is basically a doormat. Naomi is strong minded and politically aware, and she hates injustice. Emily is gay, but no one knows this, until she confesses to Naomi that she wants to kiss her. After a while of lusting looks between the two of them, and a few minor arguments about Naomi not being gay, they share a kiss, To which Emily finally admits that she is in fact, gay. Naomi is still baffled in denial, although it is blatantly obvious that she is gay, she refuses to accept it, and carries on. So then there are some more desired looks of love, Emily tries to confront Naomi but fails. Until finally the two seem to be getting on more, they spend most of their time together, so it seems anyway. And then, while standing beside some lockers at their college, Naomi announces that she's going away for the summer, alone, and starts to walk away. Emily is devastated, but what can she say? so she tells Naomi she will miss her, then Naomi stops, turns around and kisses Emily in the most love struck way you could think of. Then the two of them go back to Naomi's house and make love.

After their passionate time together Naomi is confused and when Emily asks if she would go with her to the Love Ball, Naomi says no. Naomi says she's confused and unsure, Emily asks if it's because she like boys as well, but Noami doesn't know. After Emily asks Naomi to go to the ball with her for the second time, Emily gets up from the bed and starts getting dressed, annoyed at Naomi's response, and tells Naomi that she is sick and tired of Naomi's unsureness and for using her, she then walks out, leaving Naomi looking hurt and upset.

The next morning Noami decides to go and see Emily and try to talk things out, but Emily is still asleep and Noami runs into Emily's mum, who was told by Emily the night before that her daughter is gay, and making love to a girl named Naomi. She invites a cautious Naomi in, and they sit down for a chat. Emily's mum tells Naomi to stop putting ideas into Emily's head, and not to screw her up, then tells Naomi goodbye, and Naomi runs out the front door.

Naomi tries to ring Emily a few times, but Emily wouldn't answer her phone. Then later that day there was The Love Ball, Emily and her twin sister Katie were going together, with Katie's sort of ex boyfriend and his friend JJ, just before the four of them go inside to the party, Naomi appears before them, Katie had told Naomi of Emily's night with JJ, Naomi lets Emily know that she knew what she had done with JJ (which was only a charity thing, and didn't mean anything to Emily, she was just trying to be a good friend to JJ, who has autism). Then Naomi walks inside the college to the party, an upset Emily walks in the opposite direction, and Katie follows Naomi into the party. When Katie catches up with Naomi and corners her, Katie starts pushing Noami around, telling her to stay away from her sister, Noami and Katie fight and argue, when Emily walks in, over hearing that Katie was the one who told Naomi about her and JJ. Emily starts to walk off but Katie goes after her telling her not to walk away, Emily then turns around and the two siblings fight out their differences in full view of the whole college. Just as Emily is about to punch Katie, she stops, gets up, helping Katie up too.

She tells Katie that she loves her, and that she will never really leave her, but she likes girls, she likes a girl, she is in love with this girl, the girls name, is Naomi. Naomi stands behind Katie listening to Emily confess her love for her, and she holds out her hand to Emily, waiting for Emily to accept it.

Emily then walks over to Noami, takes her hand, and the two of them walk out the college together, half way down the steps outside the college, Naomi tells Emily she loves her too.

How can you not love these two?

These two girls are the most amazing characters in a TV show, EVER.

Hope you all liked the story and thank you for reading.

Until next time.
