oh jesus christ
now i remember joelle. same houseshare, different shit.

she was as thick as a brick. unbelievably so. to the extent that we were playing trivial pursuit one exciting night and she couldn't ask the questions because she "couldn't read those little cards". so, couldn't read, then.

her question was: name the generic type of plant that grows to over 6' tall and is covered with bark.

and she didn't know the word "tree".

her next question was: name britain's most prolific serial killer who practised as a doctor in the north of england and murdered many hundreds of elderly patients.

"don't know," said joelle.

now, i could (just about) understand forgetting the name. but when we said "shipman"... she'd NEVER HEARD OF HIM!

how she remembered to breathe is beyond me.
