Anyone giving anything up for lent?

I gave up junk food and soda back in November, I can't think of what else to give up.

Anyone got any suggestions?

You're giving us a wide-open field here! Might I just note that sometimes people don't give up something for Lent - they instead try to do something new and beneficial. I have one friend who's going to try to not say smartass things about other people - this will be hard because she is (like me) a natural smartass.

Mind you, I couldn't do it, but good for her.

I am going to densely tell people I encounter tomorrow that they've got a dirty spot on their forehead. ;)

[ sarcasm ] Yeah, that's fresh and original. A real thigh-slapper! [ /sarcasm ] ;)

Come on - surely you can come up with some new material?

If I gave up being a smartass, I'd never have another to say. :p

I've punched people out for saying stuff like that to me.

And I actually don't believe you do that, considering you don't even have the balls to hit on a girl, I doubt you would put yourself into a confrontation like that.
 
I am giving up soda for Lent. Fortunately, I'm not giving up coffee so that when I need a fix, I just go to Starbucks!

One thing I for sure am not giving up for Lent is Masturbation, not after the 08 fiasco! ( and 07, and 06...)
 
I'm on a streak. About 4-5 years ago, i gave up religion for Lent. Still going strong. ;)
I got you beat by about 25 years. :p And still rolling.

I hear you... about 9 years ago I decided to renounce Catholicism, but since I made the decision around Lent, I told a few people that's what I was giving up for the occasion. I'm sure some of them still aren't quite sure if I was serious or kidding. ;)

I did that once. Not on purpose; I had no idea what day it was. :guffaw:

I remember trying to get out of Ash Wednesday ceremonies in high school by putting lead marks from my pencil on my forehead. Unfortunately, the vice-principal caught on, and he was not too pleased. :lol:
 
Im not giving anything up, but since Lent is about personal/spiritual growth, I intend to replace my fiction novels with some non-fiction educational books and focus on being a better human person.

Hopefully I end up a little wiser and a little more giving.
 
Well, I'm no Christian [That much is obvious - someone] but I've already given up my favourite avatar for Lent. Sorry, boys. :)
 
I'm giving up my racuous and rowdy sexcapades.
Also, I'm going to reduce my indulgence for hard liquor brewed through radiators.

Nice try though! :lol:
