in response to all the non-catholics practicing lent for "traditional" reasons,
or whatever,
im going to start practicing ramadan come august.
only instead of giving up food, im going to give up sleep.
substituting sleep for food is ok because the whole idea of a mormon girl practicing an islamic celebration makes a whole lot of sense in the first place.
im expecting it to be a great personal challenge.
oh, and thank goodness ramadan only goes from dawn until dusk, unlike lent.
it would be a lot harder to give up sleep during lent.
maybe ill also give up facebook. or something.
