This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You have to make the accompanying hand gestures, which I can only describe as kinetically emphasized whining.

The more he wants to whine about something he detests, the more he uses his little hands to make little motions, like they're an exclamation point for how annoyed he is.

This is opposed to say, emphasis for dramatic effect, to convey conviction, seriousness, passion, anger, or something like that.

That's the part he did not manage to learn from his nightstand collection of Hitler's speeches.
