All Theory and No Practice

Maaaan, someone offended me yesterday and it kept me up for a bit last night. It was over something stupid, but I think my reasoning was valid and this girl has a history of stupid comments.

I don't know whether to give you history or the story first so hopefully I don't bore anyone with details. I'll start with the story:

Yesterday I was conversating with someone about American Idol. There is a female vocalist on there named Antonella. I like her but this girl, this friend I will call Renae, does not. She sent me a link and said "Boy did I peg this girl as a slut."

So I open up this link; the pictures were not anything bad. She was dancing with another girl on one and the other pic was of like 6 girls on a nude beach all covering their tops for a photo. Nothing I wouldn't have done and nothing I would have felt guilty about later in life. So I was like wtf??

You are probably like "uh Kasie you're over reacting" but here is why I am mad: this girl has absolutely noooo life experience whatsoever. She got married in high school at 17 yrs old, has never held a job, never done a drug, never lived on her own, never paid a bill. She grew up in a small unknown town in one of those states that you only drive through on the way to another one and prob 80% of the families there are Mormon. She's not even 21 yet. I got really offended. This one person on TV, who is probably way more innocent than me, is being judged by this snobby little girl with absolutely no idea what she is talking about. It was like she was judging me at the same time. Totally pissed me off, I wanted to tell her she had no room to judge her unless she had been in her shoes.

I didn't do anything. I just kept quiet at first then tried to sway her opinion by saying things like "maybe she is just easily influenced by her friends." I also tried to say I had been through an experience where I had been judged unfairly and Renae just laughed at me and totally brushed me off. I dropped it cause it really wasn't worth arguing over and I figured since she is pretty clueless with a lot of things that I shouldn't expect her to be any different in this area.

TOTAL SNOB. Thing is, I do like Renae. She means well and she cracks me up sometimes. We are just totally different people and she offends me with her "I've never made a mistake" demeanor. Makes me want to punch her in the face.

She's all theory and no practice.

A lot of people are all theory and no practice. Most people judge others based on their own life experience in which they have not experienced anything at all like what the person they are judging has gone through. She doesn't sound like she would be a potential friend. She will probably be one of those 40 year olds who go crazy and turn into some angry bitter person and looks 4 times their age. Or she will end up doing drugs and being promiscuous later in life - when it is not cool and she has more to lose

stupid hoochie

She does this crap all the time. I know she is clueless and young so I think that is why I put up with her thoughtless comments.

This is just one example out of a hundred things she does. It's funny to have someone five years younger than me try to give me marriage advice or to tell me that when we try to have kids that I should stop drinking and smoking. No freakin duh. I don't want advice. I just want someone to listen so I can get things off my chest.

I had to stop telling her things that were important. Stupid hoochie haha

This chick is never going to get any "practice" if ppl just keep putting up with her BS. You should help her with that.
"Stupid hoochie"...lol, it's weird knowing I was almost in the exact same place as this girl when I was 17. Thank God I had friends who opened me up to more than just my small-town religious way of life.
