What are you giving up for Lent?

[gazumpiro]

For me, chocolate.

[Menydh]

Oh, oh.. I bought some salami already.

[Carnyx]

Nothing. I'm not practicant.

[Errigal]

I'm going to cut down on my Internet time and do more "real" reading.

[Phlegethon]

That sounds like a good idea. Haven't read a book in ages.

Unfortunately my job forces me to sit in front of two computer monitors for 10 hrs per day at least. And most of my contacts I can only reach online.

Anyway, for Lent I want to lose at least 10 kg till Easter. My clothes don't fit anymore and I feel kinda sick. The price of having an office job with constantly changing shifts, overtime work and lots of stress.

[Delbáeth]

I'm giving up smoking more than 10 cigs a day.

10 kilos in 40 days? That sounds way too harsch, such a weight loss in no time may damage your metabolism. Be careful, Phlegethon.

Good thing, but if you like tobacco, like me, try a good cigarillo ( "little cigar"), from time to time.

The voice of the Reason.

[Polina]

I'm giving up overspending on cosmetics and war movies ._.

[wilpuri]

[Vincent]

Just eating less... and not cursing so much. In other words, till easter I want to be 10 % less balkanoid

[Marulus]

Trying to give up alcohol...

If you need to be in front of a computer you might like this website which has hundreds of free audio books. I listen to them sometimes when I'm editing photos:

LibriVox

LibriVox » The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri

There's also this site which has a huge number of texts and audio files too:

[Salford]

Chocolate and most sweets. This is difficult, because I adore baking.

[svin]

I'll try to live according to this quote.

Manifest plainness,
Embrace simplicity,
Reduce selfishness,
Have few desires.

(c) Lao tzu

[Thief of always]

Im giving up cockroaches in my kitchen and disturbing thoughts about future.

[Berrocscir]

I started observing Lent a few years ago. Although I'm not a christain I feel some affinity with its culture. This year its biscuits!

[M.R.]

Nothing.

[Menydh]

I'm giving up on any leniency towards the lunatic fringe, the nutzi, the new age nazi, the neo-nazi, the crypto-nazi, and in general all of the crippled, brain damaged.

They waste everyone's time and resources, they plague our space with their insignificant presence, they dirt out political views with utter rubbish and they drag us all into misery with their retarded agendas and pretended pseudo-scientific racialism.

I want them all out.
