| 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. For as long as she lived, she had no idea there was anything sexual or seedy about being called "Lolita". |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes (although obviously I can't eat fried chicken nearly as much as I'd like). If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Church's (that's right, I said Church's) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi. Better yet, how about not showing up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you or take a long time to return your calls. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? (Exception: I will happily take all calls related to business or to share fun/exciting/major news. I'm just not one for jawing on the phone just to be jawing.) |
| 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. I'm always on my laptop and connected to the internet as I work and when IM's pop into my screen out of nowhere, they break my concentration and often startle the sh*t out of me in the process. So don't do it. 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 and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. I had a bird (a Roller pigeon that I rescued in LA on New Year's Day in 2004) named B-Bird (what? that's a good name!) who passed away in February 2009, which broke my widdle heart in half. He loved me so, as I did him. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs and cat, we'll be instant friends, and if you ask about B-Bird, I'll probably hug you (unless you smell...wash first). If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

| I. LOVE. THIS. MAN. |
| Friday, March 31, 2006 |
 For so many reasons. He's my hero, my champion, my friend, my brother, my Bubby, my twin, my writer-in-arms---too many things to mention, none of which could ever sum up how much I adore him.
And lest some of you have your minds on the physical, I'm not even talking about that. Eric is one of the most wonderful people I know. He's ridiculously supportive and encouraging. I love him beyond the scope of normal words and I'm proud of him on every level, so I just wanted to scream that out into cyberspace, the blogosphere, and the ether in general. I love him from the top of his locks to the tip of his Dickey toes. He's my nukka. He's my Bubby.
And you're gonna see just how much The Man he is when you get your hands on his new book, Chasing Destiny.
 It's a major home run. The story is way powerful, entertaining, and intense. I had the pleasure of reading it early and, trust me, it's THE SHIZZZZZZZZ, fa sho'. You have to get it. It's going to blow you away. Seriously.
Mwwwwwwwwwah, Bubs!!!! Knock 'em dead out there. Again. You got this "bestseller" thing down to a science.

Yeah, Eric continues to stretch himself with each new book. I know Eric through my sister Melanie and yes, you're right, he's good (no, excellent) people.
That reminds me, I was supposed to have gotten my book a week ago. I guess they sent it by pony express from ATL. But I can't read his until I take in some Sex. Lies. Murder. Fame. Thesis is due 4/7 and I am going on a read-fest beginning 4/8.

You're gonna love his book when you read it, Juan. It's on fiyah. For real. Wait'll you see the stuff that goes on between those pages. I devoured the story when I read it.
