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 always bothered me because "shaking my head" isn't even a figure of speech people say, so how the fuck can you use an acronym form of the expression.
Much like how gifs work, I presume.
Like you just imagine someone shaking their head. Just kine you imagine someone smiling when I type :)
The thing is, shaking ones head isn't as universal of a symbol as smiling. Some cultures have nods and shakes the other way around. Which seems somewhat weird.
It was a figure of writing in old chatrooms and bulletin boards.
Lol
