Found without knowing I was lost

The internet is a weird and wonderful thing. I am always coming across traces of a past self in places I didn't know I had been. If this was reality surely I'd have lost my wallet in Marakesh and been kidnapped in Abu Dabi by now. But it isn't reality and I can leave my trail of breadcrumbs relatively trouble free to be stumbled upon at some distant future time and place with surprise and intrigue.
Case in point this blog.
I was trying to leave a comment for a very cool cooking blog ( http://jamieandbelle.blogspot.com/ ) and needed to sign in. Just on a whim I entered my standard screen name and password (no I won't tell you here, like I said my internet sign-ups are many and random) lo and behold I was a member and even better I had blog postings.
Finding these was like a time capsule from the me of two years ago. Bad typing and all.
it also made me realize my life hasn't changed all that much. I've been promoted and make more money now and have relatively less problems in my life. But I'm still single and my duality of momentary crisis' seems to continue.

Only now instead of being without money and comics I'm without booze and sex. The important thing now is it's also by choice.
See I'm a catholic, a very lapsed small c catholic but confirmed and all that jazz so occasionally I feel the need to participate in my own special way. This year Ii decided to try giving up casual sex for Lent. Being single it seemed easy enough. If I found someone of substance then it wouldn't be casual either so I had a loophole.
Then I got the flu and didn't drink for the second and third and now fourth weeks of Lent. So I figured why not see if I can go the rest of the way and make it to Easter. Sadly I didn't leave a loophole on this one.
So here I am on a Saturday night home from work at a reasonable time and desperately bored!
See the problems continue... And to quote myself 'Maple gets into big bad trouble when he's bored' only how much trouble can I really find without booze and sex. Anyone know if you can wager money on internet Boggle
