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'm one of those few lucky people that finds it relatively easy to exercise (and be decently good at it), so I was often that weird dweeb that loved DBZ that would win in sports day, score in football games, make the top four consistently in tennis, win the 1500m, etc. I was that weird kid that loved the bleep test, because it was something I was good at.

My experience was very similar in PE. Popular people would get cheered on, I'd dominate them, and it would be met with a mixture of indifference and annoyance that I wasn't unfit like everyone else I hung around with to discuss the intricacies of Neon Genesis Evangelion at lunch time.

That sounds really weird to me. Nobody cheered when I had PE because nobody gave a fuck. The only cheers you would hear were sarcastic. Nobody gave a fuck since everyone who cared for sports was a member of a sports club outside of school and they’d rather be training at the club than waste time and energy in PE.

Yeah this was my experience as well. No one cheers anyone on in gym class. In fact I remember getting teased for participating and actually trying on multiple occasions.
