I got him dinner. He didn't want a cake. Offered to make his favorite pie, he didn't want it. Offered him... well, birthday presents. Didn't want them. Would rather be talking to friends that he talks to 16+ hours a day than getting birthday presents. That confuses me.

If it was still July I could save my car, and by proxy not be able to afford to buy the equipment to start up his business, (like ever,) and he probably wouldn't have made such close friends with these people, he would have gone to my birthday party (birthdays suck around here) and he wouldn't have gotten sucked into the idea that he needs to change to impress these people.... (Which I remember him saying to me, "I'm going to need to get good at talking to people if I do this," and I said, "I believe in you." ) Haha... jokes on me.
