Let me tell you about my friend Gabby....this girl is a trip. I am still asking myself why I even put up with her for all these years. She has brought me through hell and back twice. We first met in the summer after I graduated High School in 1995. I got hired to work at the Wet Seal in the Sherman Oaks galleria and she was my coworker. She was extremely well put together, well dressed, hair was on point, and a senior in Van Nuys High School. I will never forget the first time we talked at work....it was a slow day and we were both just kind of hanging around the store doing nothing. I went up to her and said 'what do you do when it's this slow?' and she said 'I just pat the hangers to make it look like I'm doing something' haha and we've been the closest friends ever since. The adventures of Gabby began and it went full forced into our 30s lol.
I can honestly write a book about her, and maybe one day I will. There are so many stories and situations that I have been in because of her. In fact, I will create a blog chapter which will focus on all my thoughts of her. We always called ourselves Lucy and Ethel....me being Ethel haha. Of course at the time way back in day she got the most attention. She is what you would call the popular one and I was the nerdy one...at the time. Currently I would say that I'm still a nerd but I don't look like one anymore lol. Anyhow back in the late 90s we were the best of friends. She was exciting and daring...that was challenging to me at the time. She would have my back like no other.....Gabby was amazing to me......
We have known each other for a total of 16 years and now I cannot stand her. She friggn pisses me off constantly. Throughout the 16 years that I have known her she has become addicted to drugs, off of drugs, scandalous, flaky, etc.....our friendship has been torn to shreds. We would try to pick up the bits and pieces here and there, but it just wasn't enough. When I start hanging out with new friends, she becomes extremely jealous as if she is my boyfriend or something haha. We've had this interesting on and off again friendship....every time it's on I think 'wow we have so much fun together...hope it lasts' and when it's off I think 'I will NEVER be her friend again this time it's OVER'. Four, six months will go by and we're hanging out again. At times I want to say I hate her....but I think it's me avoiding the fact that I'm mad at myself for still being her friend. She always tells me that I've been that one friend that has stuck by her through all the drama, maybe I'm just the stupid one that just wouldn't let her go.
Her latest stunt (which happened yesterday) still has me wondering why do I still communicate with her?????? She recently had a baby earlier this year Jason Prince Novar Jr. Since I'm her longest and closest friend she asked me to be the Godmother to her child. Now everyone knows I'm not much of a kid person, but I was like ok sure...sounds like fun. With that said, I threw her an all expense paid baby shower at a Tea Cottage in Woodland Hills, crocheted a baby blanket, and bought her the changing table and matching dresser that she wanted. Keep in mind that she is a recovering drug user, doesn't work, doesn't have a car, and never has any money. She had the audacity to text me yesterday (and yes I said text) that she feels that I'm an unfit and incapable of being a Godmother to her child. I texted back 'huh?' wondering where is this coming from? She said that she wanted to give the job to her childs father sister Celina. I just texted back 'ok'. Now I know Celina (currently on drugs by the way)...I was like wow and just compelled to post on Facebook just to see what kind of feedback I would get.
I seriously didn't think that this whole situation would bother me this much. She's actually done worse believe it or not. This morning I was like 'I'm done with this girl...it's over'.....but is it? It's come to a point that nobody believes me anymore when I tell them I'm through with her haha. It's funny to everyone now...it's a joke. One of these days I will prove them wrong, but today I'm just telling a story.
Once again Gabby amazed me.....
