So you aren't doing any of the fasts or dietary restrictions?

All of my Orthodox friends are doing a lot of fasting for Lent, but they're all Greek Orthodox (with the exception of one who's a convert and attends, like, a Hungarian Orthodox church or something).
Are dietary restrictions common in the Orthodox Church? I know nothing of the Eastern Rite.

I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm quite good at not doing something if I have a reason.

That's still on the books for Episcopalians, if I recall correctly, but as an option.

I'm not a Christian, but I've given things up in the name of Lent.

Is it weird that I really like Lent?

Perhaps it is. But, less so than lint, I'm thinking.

I actually do enjoy cleaning lint traps in the dryer. It's fun! *NM*

And there's another huge difference between abstinence and self-denial.
