Fair enough but there is a difference between talking yourself up and trash talking/talking someone down.

Man I was on fire today, I totally owned that interview! I'm so pro. <--Fine :P
Man I was so much better than you at that interview, theres no way you're going to get it over me cause I'm pro <-- lol

and yes I have no idea how this fits into any of the conversation above I'm just rambling again.

Reminds me of back in high school there was a traineeship going and only four spots yet there were like 6-7 people that went for it. One of the guy applying knew one of the people who was on the board choosing the applicants and they were good friends. In the morning we were discussing it etc etc and he was like "Well I'm definitely going to get one and so its Person x, then you guys will have to fight for the last two" I kept my mouth shut and just smiled on the inside at how much of a douche the guy was. The next week came I got a call at home "congrats you got the traineeship etc etc" I was smiling and happy. The next day I went to school and the kid that was being an ass was gone. Apparently he didn't get ANY of the four spots. Also he Apparently decided to switch schools. The friend that he knew on the inside was upset that he had asked him for a reference knowing that he was going to be helping choose the applicants. I don't think that was the reason he switched schools but if I acted the way he did I probably would have moved as well. Anyways I'm done rambling just wanted to share
