Columnist: Ledger Ruined My Love Life
Ledger is a massive loss in pop culture, especially to my generation. It seemed like every girl I liked in high school had a "thing" for the star of "10 Things I Hate About You." I'm convinced his wavy blond hair and dreamboat Aussie accent prevented me from scoring with at least 25 ladies. Perhaps it was also my perpetual urge to say, "I love you" to girls I barely knew. Still, Ledger's perfection never helped my efforts. On more than one date to Italian restaurant Tomato Street, I would doodle my interpretation of the "Knight's Tale" hunk on the construction paper covering the table. I enjoyed drawing lousy, simplistic pictures of the annoying actors girls pined over, and in my eyes, Ledger was the one who towered above them all. My doodling skills were so poor I had to write "Heathie" above the picture just so my date knew it wasn't some "Lord of the Rings" elf/Tyler Wilson, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
