RIGHT THEN.  Forgot to post this, and I thought it would be an interesting topic to see what people give up, that is if they give things up, for the fourty days or so...  Well, i'll have you all know I gave up PS2, and its been hell, havn't been able to beat Final Fantasy X-2 because of it, not to mention X again, plus I want to try battle front on it again...  Great game.  I thought about giving up pop, but I know thats impossible, so oh well.  Anybody else?

Man, that was a tough choice for me. So for twenty days I gave up my PS2 and the other twenty days I gave up junk food. Both were very tough to give up, but I guess it was worth it, sort of.

I gave up giving things up, and I gave up not having meat on Fridays.

I just did the meat thing this year. I didn't give anything up. Well, I think we all gave up being active for lent, but let's not go there....

Giving up something during Lent is somewhat the "easy" part. I believe true devotion is not continuing your habits (or what you gave up) even after Lent. A friend of mine gave up any and all kinds of sodas. He hasn't tasted a soda in two years.

Last year I tried to get my girlfriend to give up Christianity citing that you should give up the thing you value most. It didn't work. Ah well.

Myself? I'm irreligious. :P

So do I, but at this point, I have not to much I'm worried about giving up for the greater good, so instead, I give things up to further torture myself...

Lol, TK!

Me, my church never really observed lent. I didn't even know what it was until I got to high school, and some friends finnally explained it. But anyway, I don't observe it.

And now you're sorry, you're lonesome and scared.
And you say you'ld be happy, if you could just come back home.
Well here's a quarter, call someone who cares.
Call someone who'll listen, and might give a damn, maybe one of your sorted affairs.
Don't you come 'round here handing me none of your lies, here's a quarter, call some one who cares."
