Lent


So what's everybody giving up for lent? I'm not Catholic, but feel like giving up something as a battle of mind over matter. Not sure what yet.

Instead of giving something up, I try to just make a concerted effort to be nicer to people. Makes Lent into a positive thing instead of a negative giving something up thing.

Actually, I'm giving up alcohol.

Which really sucks because we will be going to Benihana during Lent at one point and I love me some freaking Sake Bombs.

Could you give up posting on ASFN for 40 days?

i'm going to make myself get up early a few times during the week and do something productive before work. i tend to drag myself out of bed at the last possible moment, so this will be tough.

I used to do that too, a lot of years.

Now, I do both. Habitat for Humanity has a little thing where you put in a certain amount for your home each day (like, say you put in .75 for each TV in your home one day, $1.50 for each bathroom another, etc) that we are taking part in.

I like taking away something that I do that isn't good for me, and replacing it with doing good for someone else. I actually kind of look forward to Lent.

In the past I have given up:

Sex (including masterbation)
Alcohol
Soda
Chocolate

This year I have no idea.

See, I was thinking the second half of your first one as well, as I could try to beat (no pun intended) my personal best.

Plus I am going to Tahoe in a week and meeting an ex there, so that should be a nice distraction.

Honestly giving up chocolate around easter is the worst.
