Got pizza at The Galley

Found out Stephana has died in 2021. Seem so long ago.. She was my best friend for a long time. She was many years older than I. Our friendship was one of a kind. We were both troubled young woman from Laurence Harbor, NJ. A Bay side town who shows no mercy on the youth. You either hide away or party on down with the best of us. I met Stephana when I had worked for a 5 & Dime store called D.E. Jones. I was looking for a ciagrette on my break and ran into this couple laughing and arguing outside the liqour store. The female (Stephana) seemed huighly amused when I approached them asking for a cigarette.. She laughed uncontrolably and said NO. I walked back to my job feeling clowned out and defeated. About an hour staring at the colorful bins of very useful junk the female from out side the liqour store appeared at the register purchasing a pen and notbook. After I rung out her transaction she apoligized and gave me a cigarette. She then asked for me to write my phone number down in her purchased item. That day after work I got a call from her. Her Name was Stephana Ellen Raab. She was the most unique individual I had ever met. Months before we had met i was chasing down a vehicle driving around in the harbor which happened to ber her. The vehicle was covered in stickers, signage and glued army men having a battle through out. I screamed at her " HEY who are You? " as she rode by. Wondering who this feverdream of a person is! That when i figured it all out.. it was her and she confirmed it with me that day. She wasnt with the guy from the liqour store any longer she had a friend named Jay. We spent alot of time smoking weeding and drinking. We had the best laughs and adventures any two friends could have. I will forever mis the girl with the crazy car. She was a special friend. Another story was that she lived where we would smoke weed and go. She lived in a
Weird NJ type house. A REAL skeleton hug in a cage above her fton door. Keys,CDs and shiny objects littered the trees with yarn hanging and dazzling in the breeze. The house had tarps and bare wood as its finish. Mounds of dirt which looked liike army trenches lead up to a hill in the yar with a cannon and a water fall toliet. It had many more oddities inside. The bread box was filled with more skulls and bones. Her fathers room walls were covered in mega chip boards which lead up to it creating the city sky line in the night. Her room was painted pink with tons of collaging and art she had made on the walls. She had tons of colorful and exciting clothing she wore. She was never short of givig you something from her collections. She mainly collected liqour bottles in a china cabinet. Her back yard had more tarp covered sheds and many random old broken things stored neatly. In the spare room was stacked floor to ceiling with computer equipment. Welll anyway we spent years after spending all of our time together.. throug ouit where ever I moved andeverything I did she was there and we would remain friends laughing and talking. I will forever miss her and could write a book about all my experinces. It was a very very fine time in my life and ill never forget this wonderful friend. Rest in peace you will always have a place in my heart.
