| Banned  Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Parents, aunts, grandma, counselor, online friends Location: Central Alabama Age: 18 Posts: 2,360 Join Date: Jan 2008 |  Lent In school, I hear a lot of silly things people give up for this holiday no one told me about until I was 10 - the most common ones are caffeine drinks, television, or iPods. I guess somehow not drinking Coke gets you a more personal relationship with the Sky Lawd. Maybe it's just my irreverent nature, but I take on new sins for Lent. I eat all the bacon I can find, sleep in two hours later, do all my work on Sunday, and masturbate about five times as often. Do something daring! ...anyone? |

| Sunshine & Optimism ...also Angels. Full Member   Gender: Theatre Queen Orientation: Disco Sticks Out Status: Everyone and a few more Location: BC, Canada Age: 21 Posts: 3,528 Join Date: Dec 2008 | Re: Lent I should do the coke one, screw whatever reasons for doing it cause it would make me so much more healthy...even though it would be diet coke i would be going off of. Ive never done lent, and dont plan to. Im not one for rituals, traditions or most holidays, mainly because im lazy, but also because id rather not plan my life around these things like some people tend to. If i had to give up something....diet coke If i had to take up something....more diet coke (om nom nom)

| Flappychap Full Member   Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Out to everyone Location: Oregon, USA Age: 28 Posts: 5,587 Join Date: May 2008 | Re: Lent my parents never had my brother or me do lent. I think because we saved our money, and didnt it spend it on things we didnt need so that if something came up, or we had a repair that needed to be done, it didnt effect our budget. thats also why we only took proper vacations evcery 3-6 years. |

| Banned  Gender: Male Orientation: Gay but curious. Out Status: 1 person :) Location: California Posts: 474 Join Date: Jan 2008 | Re: Lent More and more people are doing it for the sake of not religion, but self-discipline. It's a type of self-fulfillment/proof, the same kind that comes from running. In the end, the results are usually great. Giving up isn't necessarily what's "required", some people decide to take up beneficial things as well/instead. . . .and quite honestly, anyone who tries to destroy someone else's will power, faith, or benevolent intentions(i.e. eating meat/being obnoxious towards those who do wish to accomplish something beneficial) is as weak and cynical as they come. . . I know it may seem strange, but small things(like caffeine, soda, etc.) can lead up to great things. . .I've seen this happen time and time again. -Blaz |
