| 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. |

| Really Good Or Really Shitty, Excerpt #2!!! |
| Friday, March 30, 2007 |
Here we go again!!! It's time for another edition of our literary polling game, Really Good Or Really Shitty!!!, where YOU DECIDE what sucks and what doesn't!!!
As always, remember my three muses...
...and my wonderful high school teacher...
 Mary and her husband Gareth
...Mary Pittman-Jones.
Alright everybody, LET'S PLAY THE GAME!!! Here's today's excerpt:
On television are three or four people in chairs sitting on a low stage in front of a television audience. This is on television like an infomercial, but as the camera zooms in on each person for a close-up, a little caption appears across the person's chest. Each caption on each close-up is a first name followed by three or four words like a last name, the sort of literal who-they-really-are last names that Indians give to each other, but instead of Heather Runs With Bison...Trisha Hunts By Moonlight, these names are:
Cristy Drank Human Blood
Roger Lived With Dead Mother
Brenda Ate Her Baby
I change channels.
I change channels.
I change channels and here are another three people.
Gwen Works As A Hooker
Neville Was Raped In Prison
Brent Slept With His Father
People are all over the world telling their one dramatic story and how their life has turned into getting over this one event. Now their lives are more about the past than their future.
Alrighty, folks...remember, this is a completely anonymous poll which in no way tracks who voted how. Feel free to vote however you wish.
Happy Voting!!! Results on Monday!!!*
*Update: This poll officially closed at the end of the day on 3/30/07. The results will be posted on Monday, April 2nd!!!

I must admit - I'm a bit confused by the order of the ranking. I thought that Excellent would be TOP (10 of 10)while Really Good would be like 7 or 8 out of 10...is that just me?

OK, I get it! I had to go to Excerpt #1 to get with the program. Anybody got any Visine?

You're not confused, CapCity. "Excellent" is the highest ranking, I just happened to have it second on the list for no particular reason other than I wrote it that way.
But, in order to avoid confusion, "Excellent" is now at the top, and the choices now go in order of best to worst (as it should have in the first place).
Thanks for the head check!!!

I will say this much. Before I submit, I will make damn sure, I'm up on my game. I like this, but it sure keeps you sharp.

BTW, y'all sure do stay up late.
