Oof.
Okay, I know that everyone's buzzing about Heath Ledger's death and it's all celebrity gossip blabla. And I feel stupid making a big deal out of it, but this one seriously hit me. Heath Ledger was probably my first real teenage-crush-on-a-celebrity, and so as silly as it sounds, I really strongly associate him with my teenage years (call me a girlie girl, I can't help it!). Aside from that, I really think he was a terrifically gifted actor, and I was--and am--looking forward to his performance in The Dark Knight, although now it will certainly be a bittersweet experience. I hate when people get so involved in the world of celebrities, but I can't help but feel as if someone I knew died. It's odd, and I feel silly about it, but there you have it.
Rest in peace, Heath! Thanks for all your great work.
