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.

Back then:

> be 12
> see cowboy jack on TV
> see the protagonist always smoking lucky strike
> get a pack of cigs from the older kids
> smoke it as a joke
> get addicted to it
> life-time smoker created
> parents beat the shit out of me
Am I as cool as you, Mr. Cowboy Jack?

Now:

> be 13 year old edgelord
> idolize cartman in south park
> hate parents for being assholes
> they not taking you seriously because you're a kid
> see package of cigs
> it has "not to be sold under 18" written on it
> come up with idea
> get a pack of cigs from the few older kids who still smoke
> smoke it as a joke
> get addicted to it
> life-time smoker created
> other kids make fun of me by sending the suicide hotline to me 
Am I as cool as you, Eric Cartman? Am I a real adult now, mom and dad? Also fuck you Anita Sarkeesian for wanting to ban video games!

I'm sure they exist but I'm having a hard time believing any significant amount of 13 year olds are idolizing Cartman. When I was young, we all just thought Cartman was funny...but it was more a laughing-at-him funny, no one thought his actions were admirable lol
