I caught you knocking at my cellar door I love you baby can I have some more



Why am I updating so much lately. It's not like when I was in Africa, Cambodia and Pakistan where I was forced to write a journal. Ok, I wasn't really but it was good for me, good for everyone. If my status as a Hollywood actress could get one person, one single person, to donate money because of my journal, it was worth it. It was a difficult thing for me to do. At the time I wasn't sure if I wanted to publish them on the internet because I tried not to censor myself and I mentioned things about home more than I should. I'm not a professional journalist, it was the travel journals of Angelina Jolie and then Angelina Jolie is what you get. Can I just say it's hard not to censor yourself when you know millions of people can read what you write, but I'm very glad I did release them, because in the big picture it's not about me, but incredibly brave people who depend on us right now. Last week I donated $100,000 to a United Nations program providing food for Western Sahara refugees. My aim is to encourage other people to make themselves aware of this crisis facing the Western Saharan refugees and do what they can to help. I know this is not happening in our neighborhood, but they are still our people. After the recent tragedies in the US we have proved ourselves able and willing to care. There can be enough love in the world if we tried. I'm not doing this to sell movies or be called a saint. I do it because I strongly believe in it with all of my heart. There can be changes. There must be changes. Still enjoying myself in London with Naomi. It's her home so she's been dragging me around a lot to her old places and stores. Not that I mind of course. Shooting is going well. I'm going to have a couple of days off while they are figuring out how to shoot around something and then later add as special effects. Have I mentioned I don't really like special effects? But I guess it's unavoidable in a movie like this. I'm going out to dinner with Jonny sometime this week too. He's my ex-husband, in case you didn't know. He's so British he makes me ill sometimes, but then again, I seem to like that. The Brits that is. My lawyer is in court. Again. I really pity that man, he can't have much of a life seeing as how I seem to take up 90% of his time. At least he makes good money. This time it's about removing 'Voight' from my legal name. I'm not sure why I didn't do it sooner. We were friends for a brief time during and after the shooting of the first Tomb Raider movie, but you can't really escape the past and the fact is he walked out on us. He partied while my mum worked to feed us. Sure, he'd send the occasional check, but it all comes down to this. He has not been as much part of my life so that I owe him to keep his family's name. Why do I feel like a news reader. None of you care about my name. Only who I'm sleeping with. Which is none because I'm a loser but that's all right. You still pretend to care. That means a lot to me. One day I'm going to take Brie and Dave out for ice cream. They are the cutest people I know. They just went crazy in my journal, how loveable is that. P.S. we hereby apply for membership in must_be_dave. My paid account ran out yesterday and I forgot to change into my all-time favorite icons. This might be a little bit of a problem seeing as how I'm a compulsive icon-changer, but I actually like the ones I have up right now. Come to think of it, all you really need is a 'this is dave' icon. I'm going to sleep in Alex's bed now.

I'm going to use my special icon that I keep because you made it. My "I Love Angie Fanclub" icon because I adore you and miss you.

oosesnshcks82 hat gesagt…

*goes crazy in Angie's journal*They ought to let you into must_be_dave since it doesn't get a lot of action.

besth0l1zayd39 hat gesagt…

Hey baby ;) That icon is really pretty. Not because I made it, it's just the way you are. We haven't really spoken lately, I feel that way about a lot of my old friends. I don't know how else to fix it other than engage in conversation.

jtales hat gesagt…

I know. It would just be me and Brie and a lot of Daves. That is unspeakable hotness.

thosesmiles1941 hat gesagt…

My mum ought to be proud.

blgnkblini70 hat gesagt…

Now you got me confused again.

dggsintdkhareyahoocom hat gesagt…

Proud that her David grew up to be a Dave in such a community.

liugnaepistolar11yahoocom hat gesagt…

Well duh, who wouldn't? Any kid asked today about what he wants to be when he grows up and doesn't say 'dave', has gone off the deep end.

latriciqfeuacileyahoocom hat gesagt…

i dont think we would want something/someone other than Angelina Jolie.

rockmetlaflame38 hat gesagt…

I'm going to have to ask Alex and Damon to see what their reactions are.

c1tyi0lfating hat gesagt…

Once you go British, you'll never go back. How does Saturday sound?

futebolmesosdoro59 hat gesagt…

"Fuck no"Alex will say something British, witty and deep and at the same time manage to insult you. Gotta love your crowd ;)

blgnkblini70 hat gesagt…

You are such a keeper!:-*

aetisanssrlling38 hat gesagt…

Something like, "How can I be Dave while you are? I can't be my own bitch." I'm quite partial to my crowd.

amberphoenix hat gesagt…

Simply marvelous, darling. I had completely forgotten you hang around these parts until you popped out of nowhere. How have you been?

joshinya hat gesagt…

Haha, who needs Alex when we have Dave. However, I would miss the hair. And well, you know... parts. Like eyes.

patrypic3266 hat gesagt…

Our hair and eyes are quite different.

goldtips110 hat gesagt…

I've been doing well, love. Keeping busy with work, making myself scarce, you know how I am. Can't wait to see you. We have a lot of catching up to do. I worry about you sometimes, Angie.

If I was pretending to care the great walls of my reputation would come crashing down. Wave upon wave upon wave.Now that would be a sight to behold, in between the news flashes, wouldn't it? But the truth is I do care. - Christian

me7cogitatsons6i hat gesagt…

and i shall keep on reading about you're interesting life.

bellexinakaryahoocom hat gesagt…

Your using your LISA icon. *Laughs* I love it.So, what's going on? Since well, your not online at the moment.

co6egow7858 hat gesagt…

I [Graham] can't believe you [Graham] mentioned me in yout [Graham] journal!! I [Graham] love [Graham] you! I hope [Graham] we get [Graham] in must_be_dave.I'm going to sleep in Alex's bed now.*sigh*

mymordibfascination75 hat gesagt…

Oh, oh... Brie is my cheese.*sighs too because Brie sighed*

patrypic3266 hat gesagt…

And without me in it. I choose the worst times to leave the country.

freddibnah hat gesagt…

Everybody always worries. I'm okay, Jonny, I really am. We'll catch up and have a laugh, just like old times. I think we're ready for that now.

twhntytwooheone91 hat gesagt…

LoL... baby, that made little to no sense and it's past noon here. No really, I know you care and it means to world to me. Each time I crash you're ready to talk some cynicism into me. Can't beat that ;)

arncameuf0 hat gesagt…

Of course you're not in it. When have I ever touched you in the wrong way. We wouldn't want people to suspect we're having an affair now, would we?

martinius hat gesagt…

Yes, in my Graham journal. I hope we get Graham too. You know, he's never going to come back to LJ now. We've scared him away. To make you feel better, I would say his bed is overrated, but it's not :'( P.S. You are so cute I'm going to mention you all the time, to get a Graham reply!

screamingveela hat gesagt…

*sighs three* It's empty.

ciqueirablog8460 hat gesagt…

Isn't the cat cute? I named it 'play with me' naturally. Not much, I just make up things to make my journal look interesting ;) What about you, where are you now? If your movie is done, I mean. I'm a little allergic to AIM at the moment. Nothing to worry about.

gtldoips79yahoocom hat gesagt…

Totally off topic and really has nothing to do with anything but I just love that icon.On another matter...you think I can borrow Maddox for a while? Like a day or two...or a week or two..

upstairsfortihnking35yahoocom hat gesagt…

Sorry. Alex already claimed it. I personally like this one. And no, you can't steal my baby. Get your own. If you haven't noticed, I take him with me everywhere. Everybody 'aww'... heh.

c3ncera7 hat gesagt…

You are such a beautiful person Angelina, I really wish more people would strive to be more like the amazing humanitarian you are. The world might be a little more tolerable if this were the case. That is still my favorite icon, it is stunning. I think I might adore you.

bft0letotears hat gesagt…

I don't claim it, I said I liked it. Besides, I'm not gonna steal something that belongs to the 'all-mighty' Alex. *laughs*Not steal, borrow. I'll bring him back...eventually.Yeah...yeah...I know, if I want a kid, get my own.

adonsmesiiah9750 hat gesagt…

Haha, now you're getting it. That icon is wonderful. Don't ever take it down, I might want to marry it. Don't borrow him, sob. I go where he goes.

angel0chek hat gesagt…

Then I'm using it just for you ;) Thank you, sweetie. I can only hope to inspire others to do the same. Most people think the world is the little world around them, their work, career, friends, but once you get out there you see it's so big and... helpless really. So I try to do what I can, as a single person.But don't think your kind words go unnoticed. I just really never know what to say.

twentytwoohhone194 hat gesagt…

Marrying my icon? aww...I feel so special (and I just stole your line).

eleanorigalraldo hat gesagt…

The cat is the best part besides you. *Smiles*I totally understand about making up things. Most of the time, that's what I feel like I should do. No one wants to read about a teenage actress, they'd much rather read about a Tomb Raider and her adorable son Maddox. How is he? Well? I hope your well too. And at the present moment I am in L.A. to finish up filming until the 24th. I will then do whatever until the next film starts filming and I'm thinking it'll be early october to mid-october when production starts. Miss you dear. Please pass the allergic reaction over here. I want to be allergic too.

ananfroma hat gesagt…

I think I love you more and more with every word.

arsmakert19 hat gesagt…

Hey sexy, how r ya?

hndtawneat hat gesagt…

My line is 'I feel special', you added the 'so'. And I haven't said that lately. Why hasn't anyone made me feel special!

cutdead hat gesagt…

You are so incredibly busy! Ok, I guess we all are, but yeah... We are alright. I was joking when I said I made up entries. Still crashing at our favorite guy's place. I didn't know being allergic was a good thing. I still sign on now and then, to hit on my favorite people. What's your sign, baby ;)

instrnmeatul87 hat gesagt…

I'm alright. How are you?

palladin375 hat gesagt…

hey there, not been around much due to working, looks like your still stressed about alot of things, but sounding better that's good..good luck with the name change, just rember the name change doesn't change who you really are..and about the refugees, you do have a good and strong heart i hope they get all of it in the ways that they need it most..unfortunaltely or however that is spelled, lol most ppl either don't care or don't have the extra money to put forth like that..some of us wish we could do that for others without having to struggle all the time, but hey its all good its ppl like you and others with such open arms and minds that can make more of a difference in others lives that makes up for the other slackers around here..good luck and lots of love to you
