Alice
first met Chip when she received the Best of Windows
EntertainmentPack as a gift from a friend. Since
then, she's had an on again, off again relationship with
the little guy, occasionally leaving him for other games
but always returning. The depth of her affection
for Chip can best be demonstrated by the fact that when
she got her new computer, he was the first thing on it
besides the preloaded software.
In real life,
Alice is somewhere in the first half of her first
century. She isn't married, but has been owned by a
variety of dogs and horses overthe years. These creatures
cannot, however, be depended upon to provide a
reliable ride to the airport, and are subject to
displacement should the right driver come along.
Alice spends far
too much time on her computer, and, to pay for the on
lineservices, she grudgingly turns the machine off for 40
hours each week and turns on another one at an insurance
company. There, she does technical writing along
with other things far to numerous and diverse to catalog
here. Besides the writing that pays the bills, and in
addition to playing Chip's, designing the web site and
writing most of the content for it, Alice has spent quite
a bit of time in msn's Writing Chat.
The creative types
there have apparently infected her, or at least
influenced her, and she has actually produced a few poems
and short fiction stories that have been well enough
received to be published in an on-line literary magazine.
Alice's fishofgold geocities id comes from an inside joke
in Writing Chat, wherein she was (and still is)
periodically turned into a goldfish by another of the
chat regulars. It has something to do with her
refusing to learn how to swim, but that's another
story.
As a Charter
Chipster, she is known as The Scribe of the Tribe for
obvious reasons
