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.

It's no better or worse than going with the usual Egon quote about collecting fungus, molds, and spores. That's how nerds find each other, one of them fires off a signal flare, revealing their location and putting themselves in danger, and other misfits sit next to them at lunch so they can all get hazed together.
I never realized that when I was thrown into a locker, it was actually a giant allegory for a 'gathering the group' montage.
When you put your ego in front of the fourth wall, anything bad that happens can be a lot funnier.
What the hell are you even talking about?
You should know, you're an introvert turtle for crying out loud!
How people find each other in school. Normal people probably just have to read magazines or act like each other to fit in. If you're a misfit you're never going to find other misfits with that playbook.
I don't know about you, but my school had clubs that let me meet other people with similar interests. Ironically, that's literally what the anime this is referencing is about.
I am happy for you. My experiences differed. I was the only kid at my school who knew you could spend recess in the library, and the clubs were all sports until much later.
We had different childhoods it would appear...
