For serious? I don't know where I first learned about her; like I said, I always thought that the story of Sybil, "the woman with sixteen different personalities," was one of those cultural things that everyone just picked up. Hehe--I guess I'm wrong.On the book: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybil_%28book%29
On the movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybil_%28film%29
The woman herself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirley_Ardell_MasonArray

Yeah, the crazy Sybil is the first and only thing I think of. I would never ever be able to use this name for that reason. What a horrifying and tragic story!

Whoa, I don't think you could really call her crazy. She had a disorder, and learnt to deal with it.Check Out Blinkyou.com for thousands of custom glitters and layouts

Hmm, maybe I'm being too PC...I guess I just have a thing about calling anybody crazy - whether or not someone has some kind of mental deficiency, doesn't necessarily mean they are any less sane than you or I, IMO.Check Out Blinkyou.com for thousands of custom glitters and layoutsEdited because I was in a hurry when I posted, and didn't phrase myself properly!
