Well, to be fair, she actually is blind now, so she's not faking.
Quite frankly, though I have done some reading on this disorder, I still have yet to imagine exactly WHY someone would want to be blind. Granted, this is coming from a man who reads, watches movies, and uses the computer most of his waking hours, all of which require (at least for me, since I can't read Braille) heavy ocular input, but still.
Also, I'm reminded of Flannery O'Connor's Wise Blood; there's a preacher who claimed he would blind himself for Jesus (but didn't do it), but, eventually, Hazel Motes, his protege, eventually does blind himself for real for reasons that make little to no sense to the common man.
At any rate, WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS HAPPEN?

I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.
