Someone who understands

I hope everyone has been spending the holidays with their families. I know both my Christmas and New Years was good. On New Year's I had a friend spend the night. We talked for awhile about... well she has alcoholic parents, so we were able to talk about that. I had a lot of feelings and things in common with her involving alcoholic families. I knew what my grandma said, and i didn't think of her as a lier, but i now see for sure the similarities I have with it. I used to have problems with myself because of it, yet now I have learned to over come it. I am trying to help her. She does want to be helped, asking her parents if she can go to aliteen (support group for those who live with people who have alcohol problems). She will probably open up to me and tell me things and the things that she says I will not post, yet I might ask for help on what I can do for her. I am not a licensed theropist, nor have I been trained. I have just gone through it before and went to family counciling (not like that solved the problems). Yet I will help her in the best way I can.

On a brighter note, I met a guy, He's nice and all. We have talked a bit through the phone. haha... he's kind of cute. Yet I wouldn't know how we would make anything work. So I don't expect anything, just friendship. He's nice... still believes in chivalry a bit. Sincere, kind, has manners... that's what I could tell on the phone at least. So if I talk about him anymore, I will reference him as "F".

I saw "C" on Christmas Eve. My family and I always go to the church serves and he and his family was there. We sat two rows right in front of him. I don't know if I like him. He is sweet, yet hasn't made much of an attempt at being anything more than friends. I hope he will soon since winter formal is on the 27th of this month. I would like to go to winter formal, plus I have a dress for it since I am using it for the pageant. Who knows, if anything happens, well I'll go with the flow. I am not desperate or anything, maybe because of the pagaent on the 7th... coming up really soon. I am nervous, yet excited. I sincerely want to win.

Sincerely,

Shelly
