sometimes i forget i go to a catholic school, but it's kind of hard to miss people walking around with ashy, black crosses on their foreheads. it seems that the catholic church now recommends that you do something proactive for lent, rather than just committing yourself not to do something. i think i'm going to try it. in fact, this seems like a good time to nail down my new year's resolutions, which i often put off until my birthday. (yes, i'm so self-centered that i prefer to count years by my age rather than just the calendar...)
this may seem silly, but my proactive-lent commitment is that within the next 40 days i will go on a date with a boy...this of course will hopefully involve being asked, but if i can't manage that (which is vastly likely) then i guess i'll just have to suck it up and do it myself. this might seem like a silly thing, but with the half-hearted decisions i keep almost making in this area lately i think it is necessary. i'm not very good at burning bridges, so i think things will be better if i just start building some new ones.
