INTERVIEW

"well, edith had the potential to be so much more, and it upsets me that she hasn't lived up to that. but i know that at this point, there's nothing i can do about it, so i accept her for who she's become. would i rather she didn't get married at the age of eighteen? yes. will i say anything about that to her? no. at this point of her life, i just try to make sure she has all our love and support, because even though she doesn't show it, i know she needs it. a mother always does."

mama collison, ask erin

"edie's my little sister. always has been, always will be. i care about her a lot. i'm really protective of her, too, but that's only to be expected. she's a widow, you know. that makes me even more protective, because i don't want her to get hurt, you get me? she's my responsibility. i have to take care of her because family is all we've got. that sounds silly, i know, but it's true. family is most important. but she's everything good, though, right? like, i don't think i've ever met anyone like
her. she's a true character."

declan collison, brother

"she's a fucking loonatic, man. i met her at this pub when i was in england, and she seemed like a fun enough girl. we stayed up all night and she showed me her version of the town and all that. we spend a whole week together, during which the only thing she told me about herself was that her name was blythe, and one morning, she was gone."

hayden turner, 23

"edie was particularly problematic, because of this little habit of pretention she had. you'd never know who you'd end up seeing in class that day, an examplary student named gina or a troublemaker dubbed cissy. all in all, she was particularly gifted, espacially in maths, but failed to make something of it. those type of kids always do."

christina rodger, 59

"edie is one of those people you need to really get to know to judge. to be frank, i didn't really like her when we first met - she seemed disregardful of other people in all that she did. the truth is quite different, but if i'm honest, there's a side to her that really doesn't give a fuck for anyone other than those she holds close."

blythe giddens, 21

"that moron painted my hair pink back in kindergarden? well, having spent most of my education with her in the classroom, i can honestly say she's a bloody nightmare. she makes people she likes think of her little tantrums and misdeeds as indearing, while turning life into hell for the rest of us. not in an obvious way
granted, but with a little remark or a gesture she can destroy your self esteem. she got what she deserved, if you ask me ."

PERSONAL

but really, i am...

what you see - the reason people don't know me is because they fail to see the greater picture.

and i live by...

"If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time, then I'm neurotic as hell. I'll be flying back and forth between one mutually exclusive thing and another for the rest of my days."
