Happy Fat Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!

One of my best friends in grade school did lent with me one year- she was protestant but she said she just liked the idea. Now I'm not even Christian but I still like the idea. I don't know if I'll give up anything specifically but I think I'll just do my best to eat well and exercise and sleep and do homework and take care of myself spiritually. Just in general. i think that's a big part of Lent- it's not limited just to giving up one particular thing.

Oh yeah, and for Mardi Gras we bought a huge cheese cake and a bottle of wine and enjoyed it with some friends and played Halo 3. I'm telling you, that cheese cake was heaven.

I've decided to make this a serious Lent (maybe for residual guilt over not making any New Year's resolutions? ); giving up smoking (with the exception of this Sunday; I'll be having dinner at the house of a really cool tutor, who smokes like a chimney), all artificially sweetened things, and trying to get to daily Mass. Oi, hope I haven't bitten off too much...

One of these Lents, I should go vegetarian. Or probably seafood-tarian.
