Like, I definitely didn't think about him that much, but it's like he'd always been there in Aladdin and Jumanji and Good Will Hunting, and Jack (OMG Jack is so bad but I watched it so much when I was younger) and yeah, like you said, it feels like a massive loss. I care more about this than when Heath Ledger died (and I cared quite a bit about that.

However, THIS Wednesday I had a BBQ with my housemates and potential new housemate so it was way more chilled than last Wednesday which was ridiculous.

It did make me SO angry people being like 'oh he's a coward, he took the easy way out etc etc' because NO WAY is that easy and oh my god, try having depression, please. (or don't because I wouldn't wish it on anyone.)<br /><br />I totally ordered the DVD for Dead Poet's Society, and they were like 'we're sorry, we haven't dispatched this. We don't know when we will' and I'm like ARGH GIMME. It's never on TV either, which all helps explain why I've never seen it.<br /><br />Not long after I wrote this, we went out together as a house so that helped with the new person thing, like, a lot.

Who has died while we've been alive, anyway. I just... I don't know. I didn't even think about him that much when he was alive, but it seems like such a HUGE loss that he's no longer with us. Children will grow up without him, probably barely knowing who he is. It's awful and tragic and I REALLY REALLY CARE.<br /><br />I loved The Birdcage the most, I think, but I can't say I've ever seen a film of his that I didn't like!Hanna @ Booking in Heelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705048655467252248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-21076636620499948982014-08-19T06:40:26.592+01:002014-08-19T06:40:26.592+01:00My absolute fave was Jumanji, followed by Mrs. Dou...My absolute fave was Jumanji, followed by Mrs. Doubtfire, and then Aladdin (totally counts). But then I grew up and appreciated Good Will Hunting and The Birdcage (the Birdcage was a total eye-opener when I realized that gasp!- Robin Williams does adult humor, hahaha)<br /><br />Anyway, best of luck with your master's program!

My heart breaks that someone I respect, who brought the world such joy, had to feel that, to come that close to the edge and take those steps and then let go of life. Does that make sense? It made me so angry hearing people say he was a coward, because the moments leading up to it are the most painful, gut-wrenching, terrifying and weirdly empty you can possibly imagine and unless you've been there, ready and seconds from making that decision, then SHUT THE FUCK UP. *coughs and looks embarrassed* It definitely shook me up, can you tell? Haha, oh dear, I'll stop now. <br /><br />And DUDE, watch Dead Poet's Society already. It's the most wonderful film, and it was part of what made me want to study literature properly, and I really want to watch it again but every copy of the DVD in the universe has apparently sold out (I had it on video, I think?). Maybe they'll rerelease it or something.<br /><br />I completely understand the 'housecat getting used to a new person' thing. I'm like that whenever there's someone even VISITING that I don't know very well. I kind of sneak around the house trying not to be seen - though I occasionally overcompensate and go more 'labrador' if I feel like I might have been a bit rude about the whole thing. :)<br /><br />May your life settle down soon Laura, and happiness reign, and all good things. xxElliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.com
