dear f-list:

i know i just posted, and this isn't to put down death or suicide as being something other than serious, but heath ledger's untimely demise is not the only thing happening in the world today.

i guarantee it.

the sheer volume of ledger-related posts astounded me. it wasn't any one person making a post. it was the vast majority of posts coming up as i went through.

i thought i had made a post about jonathan brandis's suicide in 03. i looked back and hadn't. apparently i only thought about doing so. (or i did, and did so more than a week after the fact since that's when i stopped looking.) i "cared" more about brandis than i ever did about ledger, so i do get the relatability thing.
