[i know, this is an old pic. but the current one from cnn was too small and looked funny here.]
angelina jolie is apparently in iraq as part of her role as goodwill ambassador for the UNHCR to bring awareness to the tune of 2 MILLION IRAQI REFUGEES. this is long overdue because iraqi refugee numbers are growing daily and many camps and border countries are over-capacity. i never in my life have sent fanmail [except for that one to "luke skywalker" when i was 7, but nevermind] but sometimes think of sending AJ love letters. i was just talking with a girlfriend about whether she's pregnant with twins or not and so on and all i could think was that AJ must've been some kind of freaky saint in a past life (and she's working pretty hard on it now, too, for that matter) because she's pretty much living my dream life (aside from the freaky early marriage to billy bob, vials of blood, yada yada).
anyhoo, i love her because she's funny and brilliant and loves kids and babies and believes in standing up and WORKING FOR what you believe in. i wish more hollywood stars would worry a little less about their spray tans and NY fashion week and collagen and donate the amount of time and money AJ does to making the world a better, safer place. [oh yeah, her "husband"? whatever his name is? he's just icing on the cake, to be honest. it's nice for him to have someone to motivate him to change the world, i imagine.]
