If there's no food to go around, then you aren't really giving it up. There's no act of will, only being forced by circumstances. I'm not saying that is the rationale behind it, but it might be. Basically. The whole thing is supposed to be willpower, so sometimes people choose to do more good things, or they choose to give up bad things. Both take willpower.

I'm reducing my meat intake to one or two meals a week. (my motivation is unrelated to Lent, but the timing is a funny coincidence.) I've discovered that the vegetarian meals at uni are not only edible, but palatable.

And healthier, usually.

My university seems to consider "vegetarian food" to be raw fruits and veggies...with ranch dressing. Not exactly vegan, but...
Mmm baby carrots with ranch dressing.

My school has vegetarian pasta sauce that is 10% conventional tomato sauce, 10% broccoli, carrot, and other assorted veggies not generally found in pasta sauce, and 80% garbanzo beans. STILL better than the 10% tomato sauce/90% hamburger "meat sauce."

That... sounds oddly tasty, Smurfette.

It's okay if you pick out the garbanzo beans. Guess what everyone? Today is Easter. Which means I CAN FUCKING SWEAR AGAIN! Though I did have fun with my alternative swears. What do you guys think? Should I keep using stuff like "what the flying snickerdoodles" as swears?

I think fake-swearing suits you better. Plus it's amusing.

Mmm baby carrots with ranch dressing. Uuugh. I work at a dorm cafeteria and I saw ranch being made. Normally just hearing it wouldn't gross me out, but seeing a big tub full of buttermilk with a giant chunk MAYONNAISE floating in it. Mix in some spices and stir. I really don't like mayo. So I tried some ranch on a burger I had and I could taste the mayo

"They broke ground on the Bobcats' arena today...they have two big holes, and one they call the B-hole, and that one over there, that's George Shinn, the A-hole."
IDK why I remembered that, fucking Hornets haven't been in Charlotte for years, and Magic 96.1 died soon afterwards. I miss Schafer and the Eggman...
I'll shut up and go to bed now.
