Hey, so if there's a big media article 'bout you + Bebop, they should definitely have a caption: "Meet Orchid Glitterbuck + Bebop Vox... they're the Tofflers of Machinima!" Come to think of it, that'd kick ass on a narrative voicover too. *simulates deep voice* I am thrilled to hear you read <em>Future Shock</em> too... from the town where I'm from, I asked about it a lot, but many people shook their heads and really didn't know. Being on the Internet and Second Life in particular makes me feel a lot better about being connected to people of like interests. <blockquote>It always seems so kinetic when a couple shares so many passions. Its quite inspiring, even.</blockquote> Totally in agreement, that's how my Ravie and I are too! Keep coming out, you have every reason to be positive about it. And I hope you're not tired of this now, but I'm gonna quote you again: <em>"I'm a felon!"</em> (yeah, monster catchphrase) Orchid, OMG that's profound.

It always seems so kinetic when a couple shares so many passions. Its quite inspiring, even.

Totally in agreement, that's how my Ravie and I are too!

Keep coming out, you have every reason to be positive about it.

And I hope you're not tired of this now, but I'm gonna quote you again: "I'm a felon!" (yeah, monster catchphrase)

I never finished reading it because it was "over my head" (this coming from the girl that was reciting Shakespere at that age). I had picked it up because at the time futuristic movies were big - Demolition Man, the Terminator series, The Fifth Element etc. It always makes me giggle when I see/hear about a woman that plays a part in what her husband is doing. Probably because its so easy for me to relate to. It always seems so kinetic when a couple shares so many passions. Its quite inspiring, even. I really don't think that she would have been taken seriously. She probably still wouldn't. There are so many social stigmas attached to being a writer, and so many stereotypes too. Which is why there are so many who use pennames. Suddenly I don't feel so strange for coming out of my shell and letting people know that Bebop and I are a team and always have been. We're kind of like the Tofflers of machinima. I had picked up Future Shock in the library when I was 13.
