Lent

Gah, this is embarassing...

So today is Lent. Last night I thought that today would be the 16th and not the 17th (Lent) so this morning, I just started my day normally, eating Oreos for breakfast, hesitated to cook lunch (thought it would be a good idea to have fish for lunch) and played some Band Hero on Wii. I looked at my clock and saw "17/02"...oh noez it's Lent (not that it's a bad thing, I thought Lent will be tomorrow)

So I planned to give up the following for Lent. Ones in bold are the ones that I have done without knowing that today is Lent:
  • Guitar Hero
  • Xbox 360, Wii and DS
  • pr0ns
  • Toning down usage of computer e.g. instead of using the computer for 10 hours a day, I will cut down to 5.
So I've done them today...is it too late for me to give them up?

Another question is: are we allowed to have chocolates for today (Ash Wednesday) and Friday?

A big facepalm to myself...

Your worst habits. I don't know how long you can suffer though :P

I gave up those things because I also promised myself to lessen those things for my New Year's Resolution but it turned out to be an epic fail...

I went to mass this afternoon, the day being Ash Wednesday and all. And no, it's never too late.


As for me, I really think I should give up Left 4 Dead 2...

I got that black dust on my forehead right now.

I'm going to give up masturbation for 40 days and 40 nights.

...

It's going to be a long six weeks.

Whatever, at least I'm not being nailed to a wooden cross.

You just gave something up. By doing this, you are breaking whatever promise you made to whoever it was that you were going to give something up.

I can't tell is that was sarcastic or not.

Sexually stimulating yourself is serious business when you do it more often than you go to the bathroom.

If anything, it'll help me save on bandwidth for the next few months too.

Well, this is a blog, after all. Blogs don't have to do anything with games.

R2DJ, do you have CoD4 for PC? For some reason, I feel have I seen you in the server I play on...

On topic: I gave up swearing [or trashtalking to the very least] and shooting games [this includes CoD4, Halo 3, ODST]. It's pretty hard actually, when I swear, it is more of a way to catch my friend's attention, but it eventually became a habit so I am trying not to swear.

For shooting games, I play CoD every single day. Now I have to stop .__.

Lent, man. That sucks.

Oh well, at least you are trying - with me, it's like - let's eat like crazy - but it's before midterms, which is why I'm slightly snorlaxing everything in my sight.

    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:

    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy

    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.
