to err is human

"This — can’t be happening…"

"Would you mind explaining why the hell it is, then?"

And that should be a respected opinion because it entirely makes sense. My parents didn’t necessarily raise me to believe in a certain religion, just to know that there is a higher source, which is plausible. But that’s sound.. You’re sound.

Well, the government's the only higher source I have to obey, and I'm good with that.

That’s entirely fine, I don’t smoke.

It's a good means of escaping social situations. So what do you do?

"Oh, so it’s that borderline year. Adding how long you look, I can see why anyone would struggle to sell you alcohol without an ID. Not that it’s a bad thing."

"So what you're saying is that I look like a twelve year old boy."

It’s ok. I shouldn’t really have one anyways

Yeah, me neither. You were supposed to play devil's advocate.

Everything alright?

With my mind and soul? Mostly. With my body? Not particularly. Probably shouldn't be smoking the whole pack.

"So, you think I wasn’t being honest before? I couldn’t get more honest if I wanted to because I’ve already told you the truth."

"You don't know me; you didn't have to be honest right away. You could've lied through your teeth."

Now is that so? I’d actually love to hear your opinion on the matter of religion, I reckon it’d be near glorious. Though, I reject on hand, I doubt you’d get imprisoned — possibly fined, but not imprisoned!

Only near glorious? I just think that religion is... pointless. It doesn't change anything, while you're alive at least, so why follow one? Once you're dead, you won't know if you were wasting your time or not.

"You get barely served? You are older than twenty one, right?"

"Just twenty one, actually."

There is no blasphemy about it! Where are you summoning that from?

Well, for starters, when people ask me for a truthful discussion about God or religion, things usually turn blasphemous pretty quickly. If this were a few centuries ago, that'd be a good example of the truth getting me imprisoned.

"He goes old school and looks for creepy friends in parks and bars."

"I can barely get served in bars; I don't know if I'm ready to start making friends."

"It’s not depressing! Just a little hint that you should be probably looking for new friends."

"And where does one find friends that aren't just creeps on the internet?"

"Still, I should have done something instead of just letting him get away."

"Why?"

I actually like your life, so I entirely agree. Because seriously, fuck — excuse my language — but fuck normality because you’re just absolutely extravagant as you are!

That's a compliment and a half. Thanks, you too.
