I bought the ticket so I'll try and enjoy the show

Every day Maddox and I set aside some time to just be silly. We put on some music and goof around and it's probably the most important part of my day. Doesn't matter where we are, film set or living room, it's "us" time. We're trying to teach ourselves ballroom dancing at the moment. He's only interested in the spinning and the dipping part so we

I'm really looking forward to seeing you again when we start in on publicity in a few weeks for Taking Lives, though it will be amusing to see the audience reaction to certain scenes. By the way, Damon's right about Catherine and the horses.

[angiejolie]

It will be great to see everyone again. Yes, even Keifer. Shut up, I might like him now even if he always plays creepy serial killers. I hope the rumors about us dating will start again so we can make headlines by holding hands. Don't encourage him. THERE WILL BE NO HORSE IN THE MOVIE!

Anna and I have developed a ritual out of a crude form of tag. She toddles by and wacks me in the shin, and then I proceed to chase her around the house while she giggles like a psychotic. I swear, that giggle would freak out the Joker. One of these days, I'm going to wake up hearing it and feel cold steel against my neck. "Mommy die now!"

I was with you on that whole paragraph about not being a perfect mom, I know I'm not. I lose my patience and snap sometimes and Charisma has to glare at me to keep from getting into shouting contests with a two-year-old. She's a much better mother than I ever will be, and so are a lot of other people. But then I feel like dammit, this is mine. I don't know anything about God or Fate or whatever, but somehow the universe ended up giving me this wriggling bundle of curls and fingers, and there's no way I'm giving her up

[angiejolie]

That is so adorable. I love little stories like that, even if I never know what to say in return. You are going to be so bad for my horror movie addiction, I thought I was good when it came to making movie references when dealing with life

[asia_argento]

I'm leaving this here so no one will see it. I miss you a lot and oh my god the new you SUCKS.

[damon__albarn]

I'm aware of it. Well, I've been told about it but that doesn't mean I'm aware of when I'm doing it. Things are simpler than what they initially appear and it all feels fine right now. I would even go as far as saying good and maybe excellent. You shouldn't worry about the rest.

The Catherine thing was a very bad joke based on an even worse fictional one and you're never going to let me live it down. Though I suppose it would be easier for you to do that if I'd stop repeating it.

You look fucking gorgeous in that icon.

[angiejolie]

I think I may have found my new favorite pass-time activity. And don't worry, I won't spill all of your secrets in the process. My new philosophy is taking it day by day and today was so good I might dare to assume things about tomorrow. All I wanted was to see you happy. And, you know, get mine.

I swear to god, you are so nasty. Feel free to go back to being jealous and possessive any time. But I suppose that's difficult with such excellent material, have you considered stand-up comedy?

Just trying to return the favor, darling.

You clearly have the best son in the entire world. I've never even met him but if I ever have kids, I want him to give them a peptalk about how to be awesome. I am so serious too :-[

[angiejolie]

Clearly you are very well informed. I actually don't take credit for him being this great, he just is and I get to come along for the ride. I know you are serious, that only makes it so much more adorable. I'm not sure the world is ready for Michelle minis yet but I personally can't wait.

I could say something very inappropriate here, something that would possibly embarrass you, me, or the person who purrs, but instead I'll just say aha, now I understand why he said 'not horrible' when I asked him how he was this morning. Cute!

People think that all celebrities are horrible hands-off parents just because a few of them are. They think we're supposed to have at least 3 nannies, 4 baby-sitters and never spend any quality time with our children except on birthdays and holidays, when we hand them gifts we didn't pick out and give them air kisses. They think we should ship them off to a posh school when they are 5 and pull them back out when they are 18 so they can wreak havoc on the world and we can shake our heads and sigh 'where did I go wrong?!' Yeah, that's not me, that's not you, thank god that's not anyone with common sense. That was a bit of a rant but what it boils down to, obviously, is that anyone who's surprised to see you playing with your son really needs to readjust their thinking.

[angiejolie]

I don't embarrass easily but I think I know what you're getting at. I'll just sit here and be thankful you used the new fabulous icon on my instead. Sigh, your comments are always so cute. You should give me lessons.

I think that applies to every stereotype about children growing up with rich parents. I guess mainly it's because most of the time having money means working hard as well and that leaves little time for family but hey, you could always pay someone to take care of them. The majority of the mothers I have worked with, and fathers, are wonderful parents simply because they need someone to keep them grounded even if, I know I know, we say it isn't hard to stay the same but sometimes it really is. I have no idea what I'm going on about, I just wanted to match the length of your comment and not have all of it be gushing :-[

[kate__winslet]

Haha, I was just being silly. Everyone seems to really like that icon, which is good because I'm using it on everyone. Your comments are equally cute, I'm not sure how I'd go about giving you lessons really, we're never in the same place at the same time.

You really had a point though, I now that my children definitely keep me grounded. When someone's so dependent upon you, it really makes you take stock and you try to be a better person, try to do things that'll benefit them as opposed to you, etc, etc. I think we're really lucky in what we do that we could do one or two films a year, be away a few months, and have the rest of the time with our families. Not a lot of people can say that. Has anyone ever told you that you're too adorable for words, because if not, there you go!
