I’ve gotten to fully explore my character and I know her like the back of my hand. Even my tweets became a subject so touchy that most of my AsAm colleagues decided that was the time to avoid me or ice me out. “I’m not beating myself up for it because I know me,” she said.

Ugh. Fuck” and “Fucking hell.” When another user congratulated her, calling the renewal “great news”, Wu replied, “No it’s not.”
