The Lo Zone

A groovy place in cyberspace run by author Lolita Files. Come on in. Bring some Pepsi.

 
Lo Fun Fact #1
"Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is.
Lo Fun Fact #2
I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of Christian Louboutins.
Lo Fun Fact #3
Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all?
Lo Fun Fact #4
I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay?
Lo Fun Fact #5
I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!!
Lo Fun Fact #6
I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position.
Lo Fun Fact #7
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond.
Just In Case You Forgot Why It's Called 'Going Postal'

    I know, that's why I thought perhaps I should remind the young'uns where the phrase originated from. What is it about working at the post office that makes people flip out like that?

    as robert townsend once sed in "hollywood shuffle"..."you can always get a job...at the post office". i work'd at the raleigh (NC) processing & distribution center from nov. '95 - june '96. it's not so bad, except for two things. your supervisor is generally an old miltary type, hardcore and by-the-book (my old man was postal supervisor, thank God he didn't go postal at the house!) and postal inspectors always snoopin' on you as though you stole sumpthin'....if you saw a penny on the floor, don't pick it up...it'sa trap!...and rule no. 1: never say "go postal" at work. the fastest way to get fired and/or arrested for making threats.

    We should pass a law that makes it a Federal Crime (and thereby a Felony) to take a gun into a post office.

    Once we pass that law then our post offices will be safe.
