It humours me. While I've a personal loathing for God the Son, the idea of giving things up for lent amuses me. At first, I was only giving up sex with mortals, but it didn't seem very challenging, given my current mood. It really just makes Sundays all that more enjoyable. Of course, I do go to Mass sometimes... Would you believe me if I said my motives were pure?
The 17th is the traditional day. There's some family craziness brewing, so assuming nothing explodes, I imagine that will be the date. Soon as I've arranged a suitable location, I'll let you know.
