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 unplugged the monitors from the wall and wrapped a single hair-width strand of copper wire around the positive and negative terminals, and put the plug pins just barely back in the socket so it looked loose.
When the person investigating the faulty monitor pushed the plug in, the copper would evaporate in a bright flash.
Later that night I would dumpster-dive behind the computer lab at the school for the thrown-out, 'faulty' monitor. That's how I got my first 17" CRT monitor for gaming on Counterstrike.
Holy shit that's some serious preplanning and manipulation. It's impressive and kind of fucked up all at once. Everyone else was here was just fucking around.
