the drama of our time is the coming of all men into one fate

"so what do we do now?"

Your life is not an episode of Skins. Too many kids in this wide, wide world think their lives are ideally messed up. Don't get me wrong, I fucking love the entire portrayal of these individually messed up British kids. But no matter how much you drink or continuously get off your face, life is too full of perfection or imperfections to be exact, to ever even remotely resemble this artwork of a series.

And Skins looks more beautiful to the outside, the person watching. The voyeur.

The quotes are just one facet of the excellence embodied in this series; Effy's burgeoning or fully flourishing sense of existentialism result in some deep thoughts delivered as roll off the tongue quips.

And who can forget Pandora interspersing every so often with her "Wizzer!"

I need to see this show; though I must agree with you...no one's life ever mimics television - no matter how much we wish it would! :/
