I couldn't think of anything to give up.

Breathing seemed like a good idea. I passed out and realized It wasn't.

I gave up fast food and ass slapping. Yes, ass slapping. I'm not allowed to spank people for Lent. Sigh.

Holy shit, it's so hard. The first day I was crying I wanted a cigarette so badly. But it just keeps getting easier and easier. I go out with my friends when they go out and smoke and I'm totally ok.

Hrm,

Ass slapping would be a toughie to give up.

Is that proper spanking or just that kind of slap on the ass that they give each other in foot ball games?

I have plenty of things I should give up (like my Internet addiction), but I'm not Catholic, so....

The custom of observing Lent is being taken up by quite a few denominations.

I myself am Episcopalean and we observe lent, complete with Ashes on Ash Wednesday, all the way through Holy Week observances.

Thanks for sharing that tidbit, Lebell! I honestly had no idea.

However, I'm not Christian at all. I have enjoyed this thread though, seeing what people want to give up. I don't think that denying yourself something for awhile is bad, makes you realize what you have.

My room mate last year gave up cursing, and everytime he cursed he had to put a quarter in a jar. There was about $20 in there at the end of the month... I gave up caffeine/soda.... however I decided to do it for a year... and now i dont really like soda, so im gonna do it forever.

I made a bet with one of my friends celebrating hit that I could out last him. The rule is no dessert of any kind. My only real purpose of this is to beat him and rub it in his face because I don't even celebrate Lent (really, I swear I'm a nice guy).

im going to give up sugar. i will still eat natural sugars like from fruits and so forth but no dessert, candy, sugary juices and so forth. im not religous so this is just for my own sake.

I'm giving up monogamy, and manners, and being a good person. I've decided to be evil for 40 days.
