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.

I once got locked in a state of sleep paralysis and managed to call out for help. I said "please wake me up I'm having a nightmarrrre" but in a really scared voice and no air in my lungs, just forcing the sounds out with my diaphragm. It freaked my roommate THE FUCK out. Honestly it was a little embarrassing but they just think it's a cool story now. It's kinda funny how our emotional states flipped because they went from "hehe is he sleep talking?" to "WHAT THE FUCK HE NEEDS MY HELP!" and I went from "I'm trapped in an inescapable torment of my own unconscious mind!" to "ok I'm awake now. That's better." My eyes were already open but I couldn't wake up. The instant I saw them open the door I was immediately awake and calm. Meanwhile they were dealing with a major adrenaline surge and took a long time to calm back down.
