Mass today delayed math by 15 minutes, so I like Ash Wednesday.

I think that it just takes SO long to have another procession. Moving.... slowly.... Anywho...

I got back from church at 8:30
there was this couple in front of our pew that were all over each other it was so gross, I thinkt he nastiest thing was when the lady rubbed her husband/boyfreind/fiancee's ass! in church people!!!, A holy place...yuck.

but besides that it was the regular, stand up, sit down, kneel, repeat what everyone else says mass.

You go to church!? We just EAT PANCAKES!!! Shrove Tuesday, all the pancakes you can eat!

Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday)! That's the whole, New Orleans thing, I think you probably don't know about it 'cause you're in Europe. But Mardi Gras is where everyone acts like retards and do stupid stuff and EAT! (Hence the name, Fat Tuesday) because the next day is the first of Lent. And we're to fast. So we eat. Which I think you ate pancakes on Tuesday.

I could be wrong, however.

Ash Wednesday is the kick off to Lent. Lent is the period of 40 days when Jesus was in the desert fasting, right before Easter. Good Friday is the last day of Lent, and then on Sunday is Easter. Anyways, on Ash Wednesday you get ashes on your forehead in the sign of the cross, which symbolizes the beginning of Lent. During Lent you can't eat meat on Fridays, or on Ash Wednesday. You're also supposed to give something up for Lent. For example, I'm giving up chocolate. During the period of Lent you can't have whatever you gave up. It doesn't have to be something major, just something that you enjoy. Or, you can start doing something. Like I'm starting volunteering with my Junior Ladies of Charity group, we're sending school supplies over to Afghanistan. It's all supposed to make you a better person, and to get closer to your religion.

I know about Mardi Gras- but i didn't know about the eating! But yeah pancake day here, thats it. I reckon you just generalised it all to food in general

Well, it was kind of a joke because a few years ago my dad asked some person that had ashes on their head on Ash wednesday if he knew he had dirt on his head o.O

he can be kind of dippy sometimes... like the time he thought that if you got 3 strikes in bowling in my league you'd get a turkey... like a real turkey i mean :roll:
