I can't think of a good title.

Right now I'm watching the HBO Justin Timberlake concert for the 5th time since it premiered. I wasn't aware that I like JT, but I'm oddly drawn to watching the concert. Oh well.

My friend is having an issue with her boyfriend right now that I'm trying my hardest to help her through, but there's only so much I can do. Especially with me being 364 miles away from her.

They got together during the summer so they had all the time they wanted to be with each other. When school started, it put quite a strain on the availability of both of them, but moreso him. He's got school, work, band, and pep band {which if you know, are two different things.} She's only got school and work.

He spends so much time with the band when he's not in class or working that it leaves very little, if any at all, free time. She gets jealous whenever he goes and hangs out with one of his friends or goes to band parties. To make it not sound so bad, he actually spends more time with all of them than his own girlfriend.

When he does spend time with her, he's either so tired that he doesn't really do much of anything but lie around or he focuses his attention on the TV and not so much on her. She feels as if there might be another girl, but I've assured her that's not it. He was cheated on and I know him well enough that he wouldn't push that kind of pain onto someone else.

Basically she's just not sure what to do about it. She's afraid that the relationship is falling apart and that there's nothing she can do to try and salvage it without it seeming pushy or clingy. I'm running out of ideas for her to try.

Anywho, I've decided that there's a very small part of me that's looking slightly forward to my birthday. For the most part its because being 21 will open up my job opportunities. The other part is so that I can drink out in public whenever I want. It should be fun times because I barely look 18. I'll get carded wherever I go.

The only thing I want for my b-day is a cake. I don't even know what "special birthday dinner" I want. Last year I had McDonald's {that I had to pay for} because the douchebag that took me out wanted to go drinking instead of buying me dinner like he had promised. The year before that I had dinner at my work because I had no life. I have even less of a life right now because back then I at least had work. Now, I have nothing. Ugh.

Alright, I don't know what else to say. That's it for this entry.

It doesnt sound like he has time to cheat. Maybe she should look at it if he isnt willin gto put in the effort she shouldnt be putting so much in either.

It's so hard to help other people with their relationships
Before my significant other broke it off with her ex, I was always there helping her get through things. It was worse because I had feelings for her and I couldn't let those get in the way.

Anyways, I don't know how much you can do to help her, just don't let it ruin your friendship in the end because I've seen it happen.

A cake should be easy enough. You could even get an ice cream one like me. :D

Friends with relationship problems.. It's hard to tell them what to do because whatever you suggest might bring another outcome. Though the best way is for them to sit down and talk to each other, I think. Good luck with that.

A douchebag... what does it mean anyway?
I've always spent my birthdays at home, it was only this year that I spent it with my friends.

Haha! Yea, I guess it was due to lazypuppy's entry or maybe I've let him run amuk in my head a little too often XD
