so I'm just wondering...

I just saw someone reply to that "writer's block" question stating that they are giving up LJ and blogging for Lent.

So that got me wondering if anyone on my f'list is Catholic, and giving up anything for Lent.

Is anyone giving up blogging or LJ?

Good thing I'm not Catholic - I don't think I could give up anything for 40 days, especially LJ!

someone else replied to the writer's block question that they were giving up food! haha that's funny - I guess they have a death wish?

that is all...

I'm an ex-Catholic, thankfully...though the Catholic guilt still sticks with me (yeah, the Jewish don't have a monopoly on that! lol). I haven't given anything up for lent since I was a kid. I believe in moderation, not omission/punishment.

What a weird thing to give up (lj/blogging) in the name of writer's block. I was always taught that if you have writer's block, you need to write more, not less, and just be unstructured about it (write whatever comes to mind, stream-of-consciousness).

it's amazing how many ex-catholics I have on my friends list. my sister married a Catholic, and I'm wondering if they'll decide to raise their kids with religion or not. they don't go to church now, and they coudn't marry in a Catholic church because he was married before and the marriage was never annulled.

those writer's block questions and the answers I read are always entertaining. it's less writing and more just short answers and thoughts on some subject.
