Promises for Lent?

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

I don't know what to give up for Lent, all I know is that I couldn't eat meat today. :x

Yes , we do, it's 'The Great Fast'. Although almost nobody actually fasts for 40 days, and the promises thing is not part of our tradition.


Well, yeah. As, I know, in Russia people don't eat meat for 40 days. I've never done that (40 days w/o meat is impossible for me). Only religious ppl in Russia celebrate that.

I can only not eat meat on Fridays during Lent, plus Ash Wednesday, Holy Thursday and Easter Saturday. That may just be my family though.

First thing I ate today was bacon for breakfast, and sausages for lunch so I guess I'm going straight to hell.

would like to do that one day. You can only get positives for that shit. (more outside time, more excercise, etc.)


yeah....my grades picked up, i played more basketball and had a lot more free time. Kind of hard though late at night when theres nothing to do though.

Right now with my busy schedule i only watch Sth Park and NBA.
