The Sybil Drinking Game

It's July, and this month they'll be re-issuing the original Sybil movie on DVD, so that (like lj-fadingtogrey says) impressionable young multiples can have yet another reason to believe they should feel helpless, confused, and victimized all the time--because heaven knows adolescents don't have enough self-image problems as it is.

While we've received overwhelming proof that Shirley Ardell Mason really was multiple, the book and film were heavily fictionalized and did her, and multiples everywhere, a grave disservice.

This should have been done a long time ago, but it took lj-_frombeyond_ and lj-fadingtogrey to actually do it. Keep in mind that we will probably be adding things to this list, and you can, too.

Take one drink every time:
Sybil loses time
Sally Field screams about "the people"
Sybil runs away from some situation
Piano music is heard
Sybil recovers a horrifying memory
One of the Peggys becomes angry and Talks Like Her Mom
Sybil falls apart in public
Dr. Wilbur has an Amazing New Breakthrough

Take two drinks every time:
Igloos are mentioned
Anyone in the system actually talk to each other
Male selves appear
Dr. Wilbur has an Amazing New breakthrough helped by Vicki

Take three drinks every time:
Male selves build something

Chug:
Dr. Wilbur asks male selves where their dicks are
Sybil gets to "meet everybody" at the end
We'll be suffering from alchohol poisoning before we're through.

Frankly, I *wish* I could dissociate because it would be nice to be able to repress that awful movie out of my memory.

The movie and book are fictionalized, but there was such a person, and she was multiple.
