rotae: Ritchie Neville of the band FIVE headbanging (Random: Australia: Crazy)
I know it's everywhere, but this is for me, not you, so deal.

I... I really liked Heath Ledger. Seriously. I felt... I dunno... somehow close to him, in an odd way. I mean, he's not like a Ewan, Ritchie or Tom to me (thank goodness), but even though I'd never even met him, I still admired, respected and liked him very much.

I guess it's because not a lot of Australian actors make it big (and still end up having me like them, lol)... I guess I kinda cling to the ones I do like (Nicole and Huge).

And he was meant to start production on the Terry Gilliam film soon too... :( reports are saying he wasn't done on Batman: The Dark Knight yet either... but I suspect he was.

Heath Ledger made me laugh, he made me cry, he was bloody good at his job, and I will absolutely miss him terribly.

He's making me cry just writing this.

I think the common opinion is that he took sleeping pills and overdosed... if that's correct... I can't imagine being absolutely just THAT desperate.

I'm so, so sorry, Heath.

What kind of pain must you have been in to do that?

My thoughts are with his family; especially his daughter Matlida.

Peace,
Rotae
