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 speak Japanese. You clearly do not. Edit: "no less unusual" is admittedly a slight overstatement. It is slightly more permissible to speak in third person in Japanese. Nevertheless it is false to say people GENERALLY talk in third person.
