Anyone giving something up for Lent?
I'm not Catholic (or even a Christian), but I am giving up sobriety and perhaps even fidelity. :evilgrin:

26. I gave up sacrifice long ago.
I'm not even Christian, yet I strictly observe my Lenten sacrifice sacrifice, which makes me a better Christian than all of you! :P

27. I would say I'm giving up Christianity for Lent but...
…to make that statement truthfully, I'd have had to have been a Christian at some point in my life. :D

29. I always attempt to eat more healthy during Lent...
but I fail miserably, as usual. I really should give up sobriety, however (it shouldn't be too difficult with me being half Irish). Why should celebrating Mardi Gras end at Ash Wednesday? :evilgrin:

32. I gave up some lint.
But I'll be wolfing down some lentil soup later so I guess they cancel out.
