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.
A Really Great Way To Hear Someone Say "I Love You"...
Friday, June 22, 2007
...if you're mutually feeling the person. And aren't gay. Because if you're not feeling the person and he's your best friend (and you want to keep it that way), then this is a really f*cked up way to hear someone say "I love you."

It sucks even more if you're gay (and they're not).


Herewith, a scene from one of my favorite movies about love gone awry, Chasing Amy (yes, that's Ben Affleck). Happy Friday!!!*


[click "play" (the arrow button) to watch]


*...and yes, I'm still trying to finish up that manuscript I'm working on. This is just another diversionary tactic.

Oh yeah, one more thing (and this is important)...



Yup, Mr. Popularity's birthday is Monday!!!

    Great clip. He made a good case for things, that's for sure!

    the clip was funny to me. Holden should have stopped talking long before he did. He was emotionally vomitting all over her without giving her an opportunity to speak.

    that is rule number one of how to avoid" when keeping it real goes horribly wrong" LOL!!

    I recently watched a very similiar movie titled, "Strap On Valley Bitches 2". There wasn't much plot but enough to keep me watching.

     
  • At June 22, 2007 5:40 PM, Blogger Matt said…

    Oh, and happy birthday DC!!

    I would send you a copy of "Strap On Valley Bitches 2" for your birthday, but - you've probably already seen it.

    Kiki, you have to check out "Chasing Amy." It's a cult classic and is very funny and entertaining. For those who've seen it, I have just one word: "fingercuffs."

    Thanks for showing my guy so much love, y'all.

    And Matt, you are a verrrrrrrrrry bad boy.
