Nobody, Nowhere by Donna Williams
Aug. 1st, 2004 11:34 pmI'm lj-cutting this first part because I don't want to spoil any of the book for anyone that plans on reading it (though, it's not fiction, so I'm not sure if that would really upset people so much).
( Read more... )
I saw the movie The "Village" today. It received some pretty poor reviews and it had major plot holes, but I enjoyed the premise. I have my last day of psychology class tomorrow, yay!^_^ Last class period we talked about about autism and schizophrenia, so I actually talked for once, since I had personal experience in both:)
On another odd note, I accidentally came across this online debate over whether Jessica Simpson is "faking" her stupidity. Her mother claims Jessica scored a 160 on her IQ test in fifth grade, so some people are battling over whether Jessica's mother is lying, Jessica is faking stupidity, or if Jessica is just a brilliant ditz. It's pretty amusing to me. If she did score a 160 on her IQ test I'm impressed. Regardless of the validity of IQ tests, scoring a 160 seems to indicate someone isn't too stupid, at least. And it is completely possible to be intelligent and be "ditzy." I really don't have an opinion on the matter, or really care, but I find the fact that people are debating it amusing (oftentimes doing so in chatspeak;)
