Feb. 23rd, 2004 09:28 amWow, and within five hours, just about everyone on my friends list replied. Need to try this more often. :)
Although if I've started another "jerk" cycle between the Jedi and the Pretzel, I think I may have to go out and ... [insert dire threat here, I'm in too good a mood generally to think of one]
Anyway, for all interested, I've decided that for Lent, I'm going to give up excuses. This means that I will no longer be able to say "Well, five more minutes won't matter much" or "Gee, after going to one class today and doodling my way through it, I really need a five-hour break online." Especially not "But I really need another fifteen minutes of sleep much more than I need my prayer time." Which, if my resolution works, probably means I'll be online a good bit less... *sigh* Oh well. I'm going to need divine help through this, my rationalization skills were developed as a defense mechanism against some nasty perfectionism, and now I'm going to be trying to chuck off both mindsets at once. It probably won't be pretty.
But who cares today? It is beautiful outside, I'm well rested, and breakfast is calling. And I am thoroughly amused by half a dozen fresh entries on my friends list. :)
