today is a very sad day for me. one of my most favorite bands has called it quits.

when i was in high school, my friend stefanie got me hooked on the indigo girls. ever since - we have made it tradition to go and see them everytime they are in town.

the weird thing? ever since stef started studying for dental school, i have seen less of her. our friendship has dwindled and it's very odd. for so long she was a huge part of my life and now; i can't even remember the last time i saw her. interesting how life works sometimes, huh?

on that note, i will leave you with the lyrics of my favorite indigo girls song, "ghost".

there's a letter on the desktop that i dug out of a drawer
the last truce we ever came to from our adolescent war
and i start to feel a fever from the warm air through the screen
you come regular like seasons shadowing my dreams
and the mississippi's mighty but it starts in Minnesota
at a place where you could walk across with five steps down
and i guess that's how you started like a pinprick to my heart
but at this point you rush right through me and i start to drown
and there's not enough room in this world for my pain
signals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes it plain
of all my demon spirits i need you the most
i'm in love with your ghost i'm in love with your ghost
dark and dangerous like a secret that gets whispered in a hush
when i wake the things i dreamt about you last night make me blush
when you kiss me like a lover then you sting me like a viper
i go follow to the river play your memory like the piper
and i feel it like a sickness how this love is killing me
but i'd walk into the fingers of your fire willingly
and dance the edge of sanity i've never been this close
in love with your ghost
unknowing captor you'll never know how much you pierce my spirit but i can't touch you
can you hear it a cry to be free
or i'm forever under lock and key as you pass through me now
i see your face before me i would launch a thousand ships
to bring your heart back to my island as the sand beneath me slips
as i burn up in your presence and i know now how it feels
to be weakened like Achilles with you always at my heels
and my bitter pill to swallow is the silence that i keep
that poisons me i can't swim free the river is too deep
though i'm baptized by your touch i am no worse at most
in love with your ghost
