Happy Mardis Gras everyone!
I used to give up things for lent every year, although I not cathlolic. I feel like its a good thing to deprive yourself of things you enjoy. Of course, if I were to give up what I love most I would be out of a blog and all my writing, and I would go into shock...so maybe not this year.
I was on campus having lunch with Mystery today and while I was headed over to the library t say hello to Beloved I saw a couple of girls passing out beads. They were also handing out cups that discouraged people from drinking. I have a feeling it won't do much good. There's a pub crawl downtown tonight, and I have a feeling most everyone on the campus are going. Iheard several conversations about it as I made my way to my truck. There's something like 17 bars invovled. Wow. I went one year and it was crazy. I was too young to drink, so I didn't indulge in all of the free hurricanes, and of course I am allergic to crawfish, so that wasnt much fun either. Also meant I had to watch who I kissed....
I recall oe year I gave up caffine and went into shock. I got a horrible migrane and my parents took me to the emergency room. They gave me a shot of adrenaline, and a soda. So that year didn't work out well. Preacher Man became a vegan after he was a vegetarian for Lent. I loved eating steak in front of him. I'm cruel, aren't I? Of course, he deserved it however I could give it, as far as I am concerned now...
Yep, cruel. Ah, well. I could give that up for lent.....I suppose we all could.
Right. I am off. If you party, party safe. See you on Ash Wednesday, my loves.

I'd barely even register it, except HippyChick and BeeDragon are in New Orleans for Mardi Gras (hence the housesitting). I gave up chocolate once for Lent. But then I ate chocolate without thinking about it about a week in.
I'm giving up pointless tossy persuits in favour of things that are good.
It took me amoment to figure out what you were on about, Phil. Yes, I've given up as well....
Iknow what youmean Spinny, Ihave no self control. At all. I shouldnt bother, I'll disappoint myself.
