Answer 1: I got a new room at school and it's all mine! ^_^ Also, I got angry at Ouch! for pointing out the hilarity of the typo before I could. Oh, wait, over it now. Though the urge to listen to "Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenocerous" persists. Blast.

Answer 2: It's actually 46 days but yes, what Bunny said. Though some (most?) people don't count the Sundays, I think. Oh, and some sects of Christianity do just the 40 days, but Wikipedia told me that last bit.

Answer 3: I gave up reading for pleasure once. That backfired since I found the internet. I think that was the last time I did a Lent thing. If I was still into the Jesus thing, it would be a good motivator to improve my life though.
