  It’s her best work and you know it! Doesn’t hurt that the year it came out I had a history class and wound up doing a report on Pol Pot as a result.

  Your diary must look odd: “Get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death – lunch- death, death, death -afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower…"

    Not going to lie, forgot that Eddie came out as trans. Makes the gif even more succinct. Good for her.

    That death line is pretty amazing. There’s one line that I quote pretty frequently. My accent is a fucking disaster. It slips between a Newfie accent, a generic North American accent, and ‘Queens English’ for some fucking reason. When trying to explain the difference between the accents to people who are like “What stroke did you have?” I usually end up quoting Eddie. “Two countries seperated by a common language. You say aluminum we say aluminium, you say centrifugal we say centri-fugal, you say erbs and we say herbs because there’s a fucking H in it”.

    Dunno why that was the quote that stuck in my head but it was.
