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 not the person you asked, but I'm the same way. I do not hear sounds when I read which is one reason I don't tend to be moved by poetry (love music and spoken word poetry though). I instead tend to have an extremely vivid imagining of the things described. I always feel that books are better than movies at least partially because the special effects in my mind cannot be touched by anything possible these days.
