Well, fuck.
Jan. 22nd, 2008 07:32 pmHeard the news standing in a bus line at UBC; checked my email and saw your comment, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bk635. Thought about it the enbtire way home on the bus (listening to the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack, which made me even more depressed). When I switched busses downtown I passed by an HMV; went in to find a bathroom and came out with Brokeback Mountain because I realized going inside that I still don't own it. Which is a tad ridiculous, seeing as I have a poster of it on my wall. They had one copy of the collector's edition, so I was happy. (though still needing a bathroom because for some absurd reason the three story high HMV didn't have one, so I had to go wandering around downtown until I found one) Anyway, I didn't have a chance to go online and see everyone's reactions until now, and it's all over my friends list... can't fucking believe it; it's so sad. He was so young and incredibly talented, and my heart goes out to his family and his poor little 2-year-old daughter. I can't imagine what it'll be like for her, growing up never knowing her father except through his old movies. Shit. He was am amazing actor; he blew me away in Brokeback Mountain, and I wouldn't have been surprised if he one day won an Oscar. I was so looking forward to seeing where his career would go; he was just starting out and it seemed like he had so far to go. I also can't help but think that it's remarkable how much people like him can touch the lives of so many people - none of us online knew him, but it's still painful for us because in whatever small way he had an impact on our lives. Truly a tragedy.
RIP Heath Ledger.
And damn but I still can't believe I'm writing those words - helluva shock; I keep remembering and being surprised again. Unbelievable.
