Ash Wednesday

Hello Invisible Friends!

Today marks the beginning of Lent. You may know this because yesterday was Fat Tuesday. Whether you are a Christian or a Wiccan Priest, it is always fun to think about what, exactly, you might give up to the higher powers during this time of sacrifice.

When I was a kid, I'd give up things like video games or candy or crying in my room alone.

Later, I would give up things like Self-Respect. Dreams. Hope. Just until Easter. This year for Lent, I think I will give up "Acting Like I'm 14."

So... networked theatricals... what would you give up for Lent?

is it still ok to give up crying in your room alone when you're in your mid 20's?
