Yay! I have soot on my face!

Yup, it's Ash Wednesday. Time to be reminded that boasting is bad. Now I'm no saint when it comes to this since I'm ALWAYS bragging about my grades in school (In adult school, just so you know). But if you want to do good deeds don't do them infront of everyone. It's best to keep these these things to yourself, or you're just showing off. Sure, if you're playing a video game and you want to show everyone how good you are at it that's alittle different (sort of...I think). But when you do something good don't friggin' go to a mountain top and shout "I just did a good deed, ain't I great?!" Not only is boasting annoying but it's rude. And when it comes to such things as manners I, again, am no saint; just ask my roommate (if you know her). You can lose friends by bragging because doing this is belittling them, and making them look like bad people.

And now Lent has started, time to give up sugary and fatty foods for forty days. Why does the bible like the number forty so much? Anyways, it's a good thing that Lent ends on Easter or I would go insane since I wouldn't be able to eat my Easter candy! Could you imagine being given a whole basket full of candy and you couldn't eat it! GAHH!! Well, that's all for now. (Hope I didn't boast about participating in Lent ;P). If it makes it better I'm only giving up sugary foods; fatty foods are always cheaper, and we're on a very tight budget. Okay, NOW I'm done.
