I'll never let go, Kate. I'll never let go.

[kate__winslet]

Haha, God, John. I really love you lots.

[johnrzeznik]

Seriously, I really love you, too. And I never thought I'd say that about someone who was in the boat movie, so that's how you know it's real love.

[kate__winslet]

Well, I'm not Celine Dion so you can't hold me responsible for that! But all that aside, you're right, I do know it, and it means so much.

[This is just one of the most bittersweet things because you know you can't hold on and letting go is for the best, but once you've put it up you're filled with all the doubts and lingering memories. I'll say that I've always enjoyed Kate, always, through my various forms, and I loved how you included her children so often whereas others would like to forget that their children exist because they are a writing obligation. You made them and the glimpses into their development a treat. I feel like my understanding of her life is even filtered through the way you've presented her here because it all felt and flowed naturally. This is already getting long. Anyway, you were incredible, you are incredible.]

[Haha, it's so, so hard and I'm sitting here trying not to be a baby and cry but yeah. I really, really appreciate that, I always had my doubts about writing them in so much but they're everything to her and I couldn't ignore that and still be faithful to her. I'd imagine I haven't really done her justice at all but it's so sweet of you to say that. Look at the post, long comments are okay considering that. You are too, you know I think that and I always will. Thank you for everything.]

[If someone says they didn't get emotional when leaving a character behind, either the role held little for them or...you know, that will get too psychological so fuck it. I always looked forward to those little vignettes because that was something so original about your Kate within MBP even though they were glimpses of 'ordinary' life. In the end, do any of us wind up doing the character justice? Hardly, but some come very close. I would say your Kate did a lot for many people in that respect. Well, I've little to do with most of the post, so my comment really cannot be excused that easily! But I stand by it as it must all be said. I feel like we need to sing campy songs now. And now I've "For Tomorrow" stuck in my head because of the Blur mentionings up there. And now this is too stream of consciousness! You're welcome for everything, see you on the other side, pun unintended.]

[Haha, I know exactly what you mean and I'm about to go to bed and kick myself in the teeth for this but it's all for the best. I'm not sure many other Kates made the effort to include the children so much but for me it was just so essential in portraying her. I'd say you're as close as anyone ever gets to accuracy and I mean that in every way, you know that. Yes it can, long posts usually = long comments! Haha, better that than like "Tender" or "No Distance Left to Run" because talk about depressing. Whatever, it's all good. Suuure it was unintended, I'd try to throw one back at you but you know how it goes.]

It's teatime in the abyss. Do join me for some cucumber sarnies.

[kate__winslet]

I can't think of better company, I'll be right there.

[dave_rowntree]

We can mourn the loss of our ginger hair, yours from blondeness, mine from...well, we won't get into that and will skip straight to the mourning.

[kate__winslet]

Hey, loss of hair is loss of hair no matter how you cut it (har har)! We can drink our non-alcoholic sparkling grape juice after the tea and remark upon, well, whatever comes to mind.

i had to come and comment to this. you have always been such a wonderful journal to read. and i did read every entry, not commenting often because i was always nervous. i think you're fantastic, you made me love kate winslet even more than i already do, and i'm glad you're leaving this on a good note. i always told robbie how much i adored you.

[kate__winslet]

You know what, something I regret so much is that neither of us made it to see stupid Romance & Cigarettes come out in the US and have Kate and Mandy at premieres and get pictures of them. I was so looking forward to that because I've always adored your Mandy and I couldn't imagine anyone else as her. You are so sweet to say all of that and I really, really appreciate it so, so much. He let me know a few times and I was very :-[ about that. Thank you, honestly.

[asia_argento]

Well, I just, sigh. I so knew this was coming, it'll be so hard to imagine this place without you, or anyone else as Kate. We had all kinds of fun and drama and histrionics but more than anything I just enjoyed Asia and Kate's friendship. I don't even know what else to say except that I'll miss Kate and I'll just think of her going off into the sunset to find happiness, she's earned it after all. :-*

[kate__winslet]

You are one of the people I just feel like apologising to profusely because, well, you know. Their friendship was so odd but oddly perfect and Kate really adored Asia, you know that. I sure as hell hope she's finding that happiness, it'd be about time for it, sigh. :-* Take care of yourself and for God's sake, get Asia some of that happiness, too!

[asia_argento]

You don't need to apologize, everything comes to an end eventually. Haha well it would be nice but we will see what things bring. Take care, you.

[kate__winslet]

Allow me to be creepy and say I'll still be watching and may feel the need to yell if things get too ghastly for her from time to time.
