Ohhh my goodness aren't things strange

SO I think it's time for one of those philosophical blogs, amirite? Incidentially it is 12.51 am RIGHT now, which totally has nothing to do with anything, but I just came up with the line WE ARE ALL A BEHEMOTH LUNATIC, I don't know what it means, make of it what you will.
Anyway today I was having this huge ramble in my brain about Christmas, as if I was talking to someone, I don't know who, but they were probably annoyed at me because I was probably there for a whole half hour or something.
frig my typing woke up a fool. I knew it would. He shakes his head and leaves. He'll be back. NOT FAIR, NOT FAIR!!!!!! NOT FAIR DAMMIT.
You see I've been trying to work up the courage to look at a wikipedia page, good lord sometimes I get paranoid about the strangest things. Honestly.
They're coming to take me away haha, they're coming to take me away!
This isn't fair! I want to ramble to my hearts content. My typing was clearly too loud, I knew I should have been quieter. Gosh darnit to heck!
Ooooookay, I thiiiiiiiiiiiink they've gone, but I don't know what they wanted to achieve by getting up, going to the door to just shake their head at me. Okay.
Where was I?
Anyway, my blogs have been rather mundane lately.
So I was thinking about Christmas, and okay, I think people who say "I hate Christmas" or generally whine about Christmas and how it's been commercialised are just trying to be edgy and out there and pessimistic and omg so insightful.
Shut upppppppppp!
YOU LOVE CHRISTMAS. DON'T TRY AND DENY IT. Just because you're an angsty teenager or a tired adult and you're not allowed to enjoy simple things like opening presents and you have to act all sullen just to be cool.
I mean some people will have legitimate reasons for their dislike of Christmas, like sucky family relations that end in an unpleasant time for all (especially if there are some relatives that get overly drunk) or if you are a poor orphan on the street. But surely most people love Christmas, even if they are in denial about it.
YES. Christmas has been twisted and mutated due to businesses and chain stores who only care about making lots of money, and since Christmas is a time for giving it is an excellent time for them to exploit the general public for moar moneys. And so maybe the reason people are excited about Christmas is because of the presents. Which is materialism and capitalism and whatnot and whatever. I was never good with -isms.

It's true! BUT. It's completely awesome, because what else connects people in such a strong way? It's an event where people all over the world do exactly the same thing- get a tree, put shiny things on it, put presents under it and then open the presents and have a nice time hanging out with relatives you don't get to see that much. Why? Why is this? Obviously not everyone does this, as it all started off in religion, so different religions have their different celebrations, but the fact of the matter is most people celebrate in some way around this time of year, with different traditions. And everyone gets so excited about it and it's just such a friggin big deal. And it's hard to really know why. Obviously kids like it because of the presents, and it kind of sticks with you, and maybe it isn't that big, it's just all the advertisements that cause the hype. But then again everyone gets all excited and stressed and worried and what have you. And it's all very interesting.

Anyway, what I'm saying is don't say you hate Christmas! The ads and the commercial stuff is lame (seriously, Miley Cyrus advent calendars? lolwut) But in the end it's one of those weird wonderful festivities where you are meant to be happy SO YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY OKAY.

I must sound like an idiot or something, but that is a general summary of what was rambling through my mind today. OOOH also, fake Christmas trees should only be used by the elderly who might not find it quite as easy to have a big real tree. EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD HAVE A REAL TREE. The essence of Christmas is the smell of those trees! The pine needles falling on the ground, the general prickliness! The difficulty of getting decorations on the tree! It's great! FAKE TREES ARE FAIL.

Well I sound as idiotic as usual, I need to read a lot more. I mean, I want to read loads. But I'm never motivated or anything, ahhhhhh. If only I could be more knowledgeable.
See, intelligence is more a genetic thing I think, like your capacity to understand well and to learn quickly whereas knowledge is the accumulation of things you have learned. So I guess I can't ask to be more intelligent but I can try and be more knowledgeable right? Although I'm not doing too well there either.
OH WELL

Anyway it's 1.08 now so I'm going to go on wikipedia and try my luck at not being paranoid. Then sleep.
Also: My cat is being very strange, her pupils are all big and what have you, and she just jumped up on to the computer desk and is sitting on it, miaowing all plaintively and sadly like she's been abandoned or something. Now stretching over the printer and on the dresser. She's sitting on the fancy placemats. Oookay.
