Conviction is about having a take. It's standing up for what you believe in. A broad definition of what you believe in. You stand by your own code. Or morals. Or thought processes. Conviction isn't merely taking a political or environmental stand.

Conviction can be personal. It can be professional. It can be political.

You can't have it one way.

There's nothing wrong with it getting under your skin. And maybe that makes you morally superior. But there are better things.

And, if he was truly attempting something, then, it was in poor form and he probably should have left your doctor out of it.

[holyposition]

You think he was taking a moral stand out of principle when he texted me out of the blue to tell me I had shit taste? Please. He's trolling with one hand on his dick.

[interpersonally]

I highly doubt that.

But, at least you have the one hand accounted for. Messaging you.

[holyposition]

I guess. I'll get him a sippy cup so next time he can bother me, get drunk, and jerk off at the same time.

[interpersonally]

That's an unpleasant visual image.

[holyposition]

Exactly.

[interpersonally]

What's Hawkins Fuller up to? Why not use all of this energy to be wined and dined? Or at least not question your shit taste.

[holyposition]

How should I know? I'm not his babysitter, he's not my boyfriend.

[ So much easier to play it cool over text. ]

[interpersonally]

That was hint, my young one. Thank you for informing me of your theory about Dr. Strange. But, I think we've got to the bottom of the case.

Now. If you don't have a boyfriend or a doctor or a fake boyfriend who seems to always be clumsy, would you like to join me tonight for dinner?

[holyposition]

Maybe. I might have plans later. I'll let you know, though.

[ Hawk might call. 🥺 ]

[interpersonally]

Then let me know if you need anything else, unless it's a theory that the cook doesn't like your taste in sauce. I assure you. He doesn't care.

[holyposition]

Okay if I dont like the sauce he should have made a better one. thats an awful comparison.

[interpersonally]

You're right. Maybe don't eat in public at all. What if all your non-boyfriends find out about one another. And then complain to you!

[holyposition]

Yeah, I’m in constant terror that they’ll catch me in the bathroom changing ties every 20 minutes while I juggle multiple dates at the same time.

Come on. Harry knows it isn’t exclusive, he’s fucking other people too. And Quentin is fake, fine, you caught me. Just call me a whore, it would be more honest.

Esmelda did quit because you only wanted Mrs. Doubtfire on a loop. You said it was funnier in English.

Teo. It was a joke. I'm not backsliding. Your body, your choice, and every other modern sentiment. Your father's no boy scout.

[interpersonally]

If you do need help pulling off your triple-booked dates in the same restaurant, I've coordinated worse.

[holyposition]

I thought she quit because mom is a nightmare.

noted 😒

[interpersonally]

Your mom never liked Sally Field.

[holyposition]

She probably thought Norma Rae was offensive to rich people.

[interpersonally]

She liked Soap Dish.

[holyposition]

Really?

Kevin Kline is kind of hot in it.

[ If he's gonna be involved in his son's love life, he's inviting this kind of commentary. ]

[interpersonally]

I liked Elisabeth Shue.

But, you're not wrong about Kevin Kline. Also, A Fish Called Wanda.

( Also, Jamie Lee Curtis. )

[holyposition]

I pretended to, before I was out.

[ Before he should have been watching any of these movies. Boarding school boys... ]

[interpersonally]

If, Kevin Kline, then Robert Downey Jr.

[holyposition]

[ Not the Tim Laughlin-coded one... ]

You like twinks but you turned down Koby?
