My mom has been helping me focus on my goals and dreams, with the idea of making them more reachable. To that end, she asked me to write out a list of the things that I want to do and where I want to be in five years’ time.

So I did. It’s ambitious, and it may look pretentious, but so be it. I’m going to try.

Man accused of posing as U.S. agent to Pitt, Jolie

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Los Angeles man was arrested on Thursday for impersonating a federal agent in what prosecutors say was an attempt to work as a security consultant for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a meme that created your entire LJ post for you before. (Of course, I didn’t like its format, so I hacked it up anyway;) I found this thing through someone on David Hewlett’s new message board. The ironic thing is, I only clicked the link to her LJ because it was an easy way to open a new browser window so I could paste something else in - I think I was looking for . Anyway, as long as I was there I thought I’d scroll through her first page of LJ entries and see if maybe I’d just found a new friend (unfortunately, fandom is about all we had in common) when I came across this:
