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.

Nick names can be brutal, they are like the bad photos on the internet, once something its there, it always will be there. I got one during high school, nothing unflattering, just didnt like it at all and these days rarely hear it, but sometimes I meet an old friend/classmate and it comes up and hits like a truck every fucking time.

I think kids brains just latch on to things without regard to other people's feelings or social mores. Sometimes it's cruel, sometimes it's just ignorant, but a lot of the times it's just nonsensical.

In middle and high school people called me Flyin Hawaiian, I'm not Polynesian, nor have I ever lived on an island. I'm just very large for a Korean dude and played football.
