Jan. 22nd, 2008 10:20 pmI feel nauseous.
Heath was such a positive and bright presence in my adolescence - I bet there's less than a handful of you that hasn't seen 10 Things I Hate About You or A Knight's Tale. And then he proved himself to be so much more than a pretty face, turning in a performance that was lightyears beyond just "a gay cowboy," and I was so fucking proud of him.
And now he's dead.
I had no idea anything was even wrong. That's why this hurts so much - it's just so out of the blue.
RIP, Heath. You will be missed.

Date: 2008-01-23 01:43 pm (UTC)Yesterday, I was checking my flist a bit and everything was okay. I went showering, came back, pushed F5 and there they were. The first 4 or 5 posts about Heath on my flist. At first I was all "Oh come on..." and I had to laugh (in shock) in order not to cry or something.
He wasn't one of my favorite actors as in "OMG a new movie with him, I have to go!!" but I liked him so very very much as an actor and as a person. I saw a few interviews of him during my BBM-time and he was so likeable. :(
It still feels so unreal. This is like the first actor of "my generation" (that I know and liked) that died. I can't really describe it, really, I'm missing some words.
