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 remember being encouraged to write like this in school. It's so dumb though. By the time I've read all the fluff I don't even remember the topic. Why should I subject anyone else to this. Does the teacher really want to read this meaningless drivel 20-30 times?
I once received a verbal warning at work because my emails were too brief.
I have since moved to Spain where the email style is more brief and to the point. It is much better.
I think I once saw an email of a professor in response to a student's question that looked something like this:
That professor achieved the perfection which we should all aspire to.
I have selected Faresh's professor from the candidates. His email was....efficient.
