It depends how fast you're going.
Skidding only really messes up your tires (more so if you don't have ABS).
But, you have ABS...and you have 65 miles on brakes/tires...so you're fine.
Just don't make this a habbit.

you're good homie 
all you did was put the ABS to work. brake pads are designed for skidding every once and a while. no need to be paranoid. you didnt damage anything, just don't make a habbit of it.

Yep, all true. Just take it easy and ease the brakes in still. Even if you have to replace the pads from that (HIGHLY unlikely), they aren't that expensive. You shouldn't have done any permanent damage to the car at all.
Grats on the car purchase BTW
