| Some thoughts by the Webmistress, Gwen Robson When I send this site to my family and friends, they're all very pleasant. They like the images, they like the layout, but the comments always end with "Why him? Why Orlando for your first webpage?". All's I can really say is, why not? Is it love? Is it obsession? No. It's an appreciation. I don't believe you can really be in love with someone you've never had any interaction with. Technically, they don't exist in your three-dimensional world. They exist on a TV screen, or in some pictures in a magazine, but if they don't exist in your world, you can love what they do for you (i.e. how they make you feel), but you can't love them. I've never met him, so no, I'm not in love with him. In regards to obsession, I don't think I've reached that level as a fan, nor do I think I ever will. Sure, the guy pops up in my dreams. Sure, I spend hours creating a webpage. But I don't pretend I'm going to marry him. I don't try to convince myself that he's the only one for me. I don't make plans to sift through London to find his house or dig through his garbage. I have no reason to... ...Because I appreciate him. I appreciate his talent, his looks, his accent, his personality. I appreciate the ideals he stands for and the actions he uses to express them. This website is devoted to the appreciation of this wonderful actor and to the promotion of his talent, good looks, and personality. So what's with the rat? Orlando has a hoodie with a band's album logo: The Stranglers: Rattus Norvegicus, with the image of a rat. I liked the design, so I re-drew it and used it for my site. [As a side note, I also happen to be born on the Year of the Rat and I like them a lot.] You can contact me at the following e-mail address: webmistress@daretobeenglish.cjb.net |
