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.

Over a decade ago now, when Tennant was still The Doctor, (I think during the airing of either the 1st or 2nd season with him), I managed to learn a fairly close approximation of his English accent and verbiage from a few online friends I had at the time (I am American with a PNW accent).
Halloween was coming up. I managed to find a blue pinstripe suit at a thrift store. Told all my friends who were hosting a Halloween party to just pretend I was an exchange student.
It actually worked, I was able to convince everyone who wasn't in on it that I actually was English.
Sadly, practically no one knew of Doctor Who.
I remember multiple times saying 'why I'm the Doctor' as a response to 'What's your costume?'
This was then followed by 'Doctor... Who?' to which I would reply 'Precisely' or 'Yes, you've got it'.
To which they would make a confused face and I would then suggest drinks, as one of my multiple hearts broke and died each time someone had only the vague notion that I was some strange Englishman, out of place, perhaps even out of time.
