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.

I went to Kafka's house in Prague and they had The Country Doctor in several languages. I wanted it as a souvenir so I bought it in the original German even though I don't speak German. I also wanted to read it, though, so I bought an English copy too, assuming the translation would be closer than to Spanish, my native language. But I also wanted to gift it to an old teacher, so I bought it in Spanish, as well. My girlfriend then arrived and told me she would like a Swedish copy since she's learning the language. I went to pay and the girl at the counter immediately goes "oh, wow, you speak so many languages".
