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:

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

I can add that if you ever say something that you yourself think was stupid, it's often better to just own up to it than to play it off (within limits). Something like "That was a stupid thing for me to say, I'm sorry, you're just very beautiful and I'm a bit nervous" as an example.

...yeaaaah... that's worse than original. "Nah, sorry, got brainlocked cuz damn you're beautiful".

Make it informal, silly and goof off of your own reaction to remove the awkward and embrace the "you'll make fun of me for this later".
