Dissembling into Ash Wednesday

Lent begins and though I'm not Catholic, I would like to give things up. I view this as sort of a purification process.

1. Facebook

Facebook is the ultimate stalker as well as the chocolate-center of my frustrations. I hate being able to look through other people's lives. This is the only way I am able to explain it; I want to run away from people, run away and not have them know that I exist, in order to not have expectations of people and for people not to have any expectations of me. I need relief.

2. AIM

AIM is like Facebook, people IM me and I don't care to answer, but I do out of politeness. 90% of the time I'm inivisble, so why not take that full step and just not sign on.

3. Chips

Simply put, I'm addicted to chips. I will die of high blood pressure one day.

4. Cursing

I curse often. I think it's a reaction to the reaction of my original action. Once upon a time, there was a young Asian girl who cursed like a sailor and didn't give a hoot about religion. Then she got sucked into church and felt guilty for cursing. Then she matured and rarely went to church, and entered college. Amusingly, I think I curse more now. I stop now only because cursing is filthy.

One thing I wish I could change about myself: not to allow Interest to determine my mood.
