I need to create two separate categories on my phone: "people who I don't mind hearing from" and "drunken idiots who got my number from the community".

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Or if you flaunt it like a flag in front of everyone's faces.

It was only "flaunted" as evidence, because you didn't believe me.

I still don't believe you. Getting a bunch of jobs from other people isn't a sign of maturity.

Not jobs. Except for the first, of course. And the fact that any of that happened at all is pretty telling.

Why, are you jealous?

[with clear sarcasm] Of course. So jealous that you wouldn't believe it if I told you how jealous I was.

[eyeroll] I think you're overestimating your abilities. Again.

I know I'm not. I don't do that anymore, either.

Like I said, I'll believe it when I see it.

It doesn't matter to me whether you believe it or not. I know it's true.

At least you're still confident.

And it's not bravado, either.

Uh huh.

You're so convinced that I can't have changed or improved myself. Why?

I'm not convinced that you can't.

I'm skeptical.

Even in the face of evidence?

I need more than just your word when it comes to these things.

I don't see why. And anyway, I act more mature. You can see that.

You sound more composed. There's a difference.

Not always.

Sometimes they're found together. But not always.

In this case, they are.

... I'll bet I would be a good mentor.

[... EYEROLL]

I would.

I wouldn't want you as a mentor.

That's because you have no taste.

I've already convinced someone not to kill someone else. I'd call that a successful mentoring.

No, it's because I have common sense.

I'd call it doing a good thing, not successful mentoring.
