Well, I just got back from dinner with a few friends - the first "goodbye" dinner of the week. It was really fun, and was normal all around, but I found myself being really struck by the whole Heath Ledger newsbreak (I didn't find out he was dead until I was walking up to their apartment.) It's a little strange for me to feel so touched by it, because I wasn't a fangirl of his by any sense, and haven't even seen many of his movies (save for The Patriot and Brokeback Mountain.) But the tragedy of the thing is just so poignant. To have only lived to be 28......geez. That's just too young. So, to an actor who strove to break conventions and to continuously improve his trade: rest in peace.

"I'm not good at future planning. I don't plan at all. I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow...I completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future."

"I feel like I'm wasting time if I repeat myself. I can't say I'm proud of my work. It's the same with everything I do: the day I say 'It's good' is the day I should start doing something else."

"I'm still a kid. I'm like six years old. But it's just a matter of wanting to get up, it's just a big journey. I felt like when I left home that I was on a journey, and I still am.”
 - Heath Ledger, 1979-2008

And now it's time to study more Macbeth.
