@Zersk: It's a Christian thing.
Why do these religious groups have big rituals where you deprive yourself? Wouldn't it make more sense to have 40 days of indulgence?
I vowed, and so did you: Beyond this wall- we would make it through.^^^ Why would that make any more sense?
I gave up all junk food (I tried to figure out the gray areas like heavy pasta dishes, non-butter popcorn, etc. beforehand). But I have a trip to Florida this Spring Break and I'm probably going to break it for part of that... at least for butterbeer. Meh. I wasn't really raised with Lent so for me it's only partially religious, and partially just testing myself in general. I hope that's not horrible to people who do it right. :|

As for me, I'm trying to give up meat and alcohol except on Sundays. I am not sure I can make it (to be honest, I already slipped), but I'll give it a honest try.

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.It's chips for me. Keeping myself from excessive snacking in the afternoon.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Can we please stop doing the whole "LOL I GIVE UP RELIGION FOR LENT BECAUSE CHRISTIANITY IS STUPID LOL" thing?
Why yes I am easily offended.
