Is is when we light 4 candles on a wreath? Or Is It when the priests wear purple at Mass?

I can't remember.


Mark: what are your thoughts on lent
Me: um, like in general
Mark: yes
Me: or as raised catholic but no longer practicing
Mark: my sister and i are talking about what to give up for lent
Mark: she's giving up her MS
Me: aw
Mark: and I'm giving up my homosexuality
Mark: and deafness
Mark: so my mother is happy
Me: haha
Mark: well
Mark: we also gave up poverty too
Me: fuck that shit
Me: i think that rather than sacrificing something
Me: i want to do good things
Me: for other people
Mark: oh
Me: i mean
Mark: you had me up until "for other people"
Me: i used to give up homework and being nice to my sister
Mark: haha i want to start doing positive reinforcement
Mark: so instead of "fuck you asshole, you cut me off"
Mark: i'm gonna be like "thank you for letting me out of the parking lot, lady with bad hair"
Mark: but giving up niceness to your sister is great, i should do that
