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.
Falling Into Step.

Look who's about to join the movement...

Representative John Lewis, an iconic figure from the Civil Rights era and one of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's most prominent black supporters, said Thursday night that he planned to cast his vote as a superdelegate for Senator Barack Obama in hopes of preventing a fight at the Democratic convention.

[...]

"In recent days, there is a sense of movement and a sense of spirit," said Mr. Lewis, a Georgia Democrat who endorsed Mrs. Clinton last fall. "Something is happening in America and people are prepared and ready to make that great leap."
Damn skippy, broham. Either get on board this train or step aside. Just don't stand in the way.

It's time for a change.

On another note, just for fun, check out this clever little word generator that Slate.com came up with, because Barack's name is so cool, it "lends itself to neologisms---everything from Barackstar to Obamania to Omentum."

Click the word "More" in the top right corner of the box below (it's next to the circle with an arrow at the end) to see additional Obamafied words. Each time you click it, there'll be a new word. Happy Friday!!!

    It's about time these old school cats get in line. The Clintons have been playing them like fools and coons.

    Smart move. These superdelegates need to follow the will of the people, not play political games.

    I get the feeling we'll be seeing more of this in the coming weeks. The wheels are coming off the Clinton machine. You can only strong-arm the system so much. Bush had eight years of knuckling us down and feeding us lies. The people are ready to rise up against all the bullshit. Obama 08!

    The last thing this country needs is Hillary. John Lewis is smart to back Obama.

    I'm loving the Obama words. I think I might be a Barackatoo.
