"Love Ridden" by Fiona Apple from the album When The Pawn... (1999)

Sometimes a date kind of sneaks up on me. Sometimes I'm not even aware of the significance of a date until after it passes. For instance, I'm just reminded now that last week was the 25th anniversary of my grandmother's death. Jason's post about Fiona Apple gave me pause, though, as I notice that it's November 28th. Three years ago I had just moved to the Tri-State area and today marks the anniversary of the last time I spoke to someone who, at one time, played a large role in my life. I'm in a much better place emotionally and socially now, though at the time you'd have been hard-pressed to convince me of such. Looking back, though, I'm also reminded that this Fiona song was one of the last ways that she communicated with me. Pretty crazy. Pretty overwrought. Pretty creepy.
