Ethical or practical philosophy.....?

Since I haven't write in a while, and since I should be writing a philosophical essay but have no inspiration nor motivation to do it, I thought it could be a good reason to blog. Though I don't have a precise subject to write about in particular, I decided I'll just write down random thoughts for my own entertainment, or maybe yours also, who knows? So here it goes:

- I did meet my dads gf because he wanted to invite her on christmas eve. But because we didnt wanted to meet her in this situation, we had to see her before, and that meant soon. I wasn't confortable with that, even less than before meeting my moms bf, and you know the reasons why, but of course it went ok. I didn't talk to her much though, but at least the ackwardness is gone and my dad is happy with that. I just hope he likes her for the good reasons. But I'm still afraid of what she could do to him if it ever goes bad....

- I realised how crazy people get because of christmas, and by crazy, I really mean insane. Working in a fancy bakery did help to come accross such fact, but I kinda been other things to get to such conclusions, like how fast christmas sales and decorations in stores arrive as soon as Halloween is over :P. Then everything as to be planned during those 2 crazy weeks of holidays, like, you know how you wish you could see some people to encounter and have a good time, but if it's not planned weeks ago, forget it, it seems there is a law or something that forbid people to be available on those days. Ridiculous. In my case, I wish I had free time to see people and do stuff with them, but because I said yes too fast to please my mother, I'll be spending this time away from those I really wanted to be with on holidays. Or working, bleh :P. They really got on my back when I told them I couldn't work for a week, I almost felt ashamed. And from now on, I feel I owe them something. So I gave them all my free time to prove I felt bad about leaving them for a short period of time. And because I hope they'll remember this when I'll be asking to not work on my mid-term week off :).

- Even though I consider myself as a true fan, it took me 3 weeks before seeing finally that movie I craved to see. You are allowed to laugh, I'm talking about New Moon. But I know you'll understand, since you told me you were also a fan, from what I remember.... Ahahaha. This Twilight phenomenon is really interesting in it's own way, because it is so popular and so addicting and also really not well considered if you talk about it. It's like a taboo to be fond of it. Because if you ever talk aloud about being pro team Edward or team Jacob, people will give you those hard looks meaning something like " Get a life" or " Grow up". I don't care. Well I try. Though I told people I read the 4 books ( in English :D ) and I saw the first movie too much times to mention it, I always hide my true enthusiasm about it, or they'll think I'm desperate :P. Really, is it that bad to like something that make you feel somewhat happy and joyful, when the caracters are, and resentful and sad when something bad happen to them, while reading it? I wish not. I wish people could react the same when I say Twilight is in my top 5 favorite books just like when I say I liked the book The Catcher in The Rye. But it seems there are some differences between those 2 books that make people judge you on your interests. Whatever, Edward is a whole lot more fascinating than Holden Caulfield :P.


And yet I'm about to see a show that is doing a full review of this year events, done by a group of comedians, I'll probably have something to write about this. But I'll end this post here because I find it already pretty long and I feel like if I don't post it now, it'll take forever before I do, just like the one about my mother's bf, ahahah. So that's it for now, and I can't wait to read about your recent experiment ;) !
Oh and by the way, did it snow in Halifax yet? I wish you some for the Holidays if it hasn't yet :) ! Take care!
