The year actually only has 46 weeks, since the other 6 are just Lent

[pne]

I wonder whether anyone's going to give up LiveJournal for Lent.

Now you've said it, you've got to do it.

I'm sure Stella wouldn't mind.

Not a chance in hell.

I'm sure that some would, but I doubt it'll be very visible: the people who are typically going to do that are not going to be the most prolific LiveJournal users, because I bet most of us just wouldn't be able to do it.

Yeah... I sometimes wonder just how attached I am to LiveJournal.

I do think that it'd be really weird to go entirely without LiveJournal for even two weeks (while I'm at home and have Internet).

Not posting might work... not commenting would be harder, but not even reading would be tough; it's my favourite workplace distraction/relaxing method/timewaster.

That Internap fiasco weekend nearly killed me. :P

Well, not really, but, you know. Anyways, I've just had ~26 hours without Internet though.

Umm, no.

Incidentally, I'll also fly to visit my boyfriend again, pretty much shortly after Ash Wednesday, so there won't be a lot of abstinence and fasting either. <_< I'm a bad catholic. Oh wait.. I quit church years ago ;)

Someone on my friends list is. Although she's not Catholic, and it's really because she has to finish all the corrections on her doctoral thesis by mid-March ...

*snerk* Well, I'm glad I'm Jewish then ;)

I'm giving up reading fanfiction. I want to spend more time with my family, because I feel like I'm not doing my share to connect to other people. I want to get my homework done ahead of time (I realize I shouldn't want to, as my grades essentially don't count anymore; if I pass, I graduate and go to college...but I have come to the conclusion that I feel much worse--guilt-ridden, stressed-out, etc.--if I don't do my homework and work very hard at my studies). I also want to get outside more, and to generally be more involved with my life. But I tried to give up the internet completely once, and I don't think it can really be done. It's too integral to my life. (Ooooh, integrals...hee.)

Hm. I occasionally contemplate giving up email, the way Donald Knuth did, since I'm annoyed at the amount of spam I receive. But I'm not sure whether I could pull it off, either; it's just too useful.

Though I suppose for many things, good old snail-mail would also work, even if it's slower.
