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.

That's not even the best one, though. For a brief window I tried my best to create a little portable Ubuntu environment on a USB drive so I could just bring all my software with me, games and all, and just boot into it when I got to school!

Well, eventually I had the thought that I could potentially install it on a second hidden partition, and select it from boot time... But I guess in the heat of the moment (I had a little group of friends standing behind me blocking the librarians' view, all cheering me on), I ended up misclicking and overwriting the OS, wiping the hard drive in the process ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…

Needless to say, they were not thrilled. Unfortunately, believe it or not, a group of kids crowded around one guy at a computer is a fucking beacon when you're searching video feeds for suspects ๐Ÿ˜… they had found me out by the next day and banned me from the computers for a year. (My friends just gave me their logins anyways ๐Ÿค˜)

I installed (not live) fedora onto a portable hard disk, and just hid it behind the computers, plugged into one of them.
