Lenten Survivor

Please vote for your favorite Lenten sacrifice and/or commitment. I accept anonymous comments, additional suggestions, and Catholic jokes.

1. No Facebook. This would save time, but how would I get invited to parties? I could go the wimpy route and allow myself to check it on Sundays, I suppose.

2. No chocolate. This is silly, and you shouldn't vote for it.

4. Read one non-young-adult book a week. Literature would go nicely with the "No Facebook" commitment. What else would I do with all my time not spent playing Scrabulous?

5. No blogging. Just kidding. I would never do that to you.

6. No Catholicism. Haaaaaahahaha.

7. Say, "Bow chicka bow wow" when somebody says my name, including "Ms. Walden." We had this going at my old house. It was pretty fun.

8. No compassion. [Insert Republican joke.]

9. No laughter. [Insert Nicole Raden joke.]

10. Lay green eggs. No ham.

11. No television. This would be easy if it weren't for The Salt-n-Pepa Show. Damn that hilarious hip-hop duo.

12. Tell Oprah that I don't want my latest novel selected for her book club. See #13 for details.

13. Write a novel. Plot TBD.

14. Get the New Mexico film developed. I often lean back in my computer chair, look at the shelf above my desk, and feel inspired by an object up there. First it was the creepy nose that inspired a mini-lesson. Then it was helicopter card magic trick. Now this! Darling, please come to my apartment and set something wacky and motivational in my "lean back and think" view.

15. No punctuation

What do you think please tell me in a comment youre awesome

Mardi Gras 2006

Lent is always a big deal to me, but 2006 was extra special. This is what I wrote:

Sacrifices from March 1st - April 16th include three specific internet timewasters, three specific money wasters(ish), bricklaying, crack, getting divorced, shaving beards, reenacting all wars besides the U.S. Revolutionary, insider trading, drive-by shootings, and hardcore S&M.

Extra undertakings from March 1st - April 16th include publishing plagiarized works in my name, gold digging (that kind), gold digging (the other kind), scuba diving with yet-to-be-discovered sea creatures, dabbling in the pornography industry, giving my roommates different part of a blowfish to see which ones are poisonous (the parts, not the roommates), and stealing babies.

If you read this, snooping students, please recognize that all references to sex, drugs, and other unwholesome activities are silly, silly lies.
