"Who needs enemies when you have friends like these?" - great quote! But what is even more amazing, is how quickly someone can go from friend to enemy.
I have a friend that I went through some hard times with. We were both unemployed at the same time, and spent a lot of time together, trying to help each other out. Well I tried to help her too much, and it came back to bite me in the ass (yes, yet again!). To this day this girl tries to do just about anything she can to get under my skin. Her approach really is childish too. It makes me wonder how old she really is!!
Message to her: Grow up, you're the one who needs to get a life (and a real job for that matter).

Friends and more....
I think that I have been pretty lucky to have some very good friends in my life. One in particular, Audrey. Audrey is my rock, as I am for her....we've definitely come to the conclusion that we keep each other sane! Unfortunately for the past year, Audrey has been stationed in Japan, and now she is currently attending a school in Virginia. So needless to say, we have not seen each other much, but my sanity has returned to a much more normal level since she has gotten back to America, and we can at least speak on the phone on a regular basis.
On the flip side of that, I've recently realized that a lot of people I considered friends aren't quite as quality friends as I thought. I feel bad saying that, but for most of these people I've gone way out on a limb for them, helped them in one way or another, and most likely dropped everything to do it.
Most of you who know me also know that there are very few times that I actually ask for help...but knowing that I was going to be stuck at home for two weeks straight, I put a request out to pretty much everyone I know in Phoenix to come visit during those two weeks. Out of probably 30 people, 3 people came to see me over the entire two weeks that I was stuck at home. How sad is that?
It really makes me wonder, why do I continue to help people, when so few seem to want to help me?
