Anon is a person's name

Last week I was looking around this website. I was reading some of the confessions, and having a good laugh. At the bottom of some of them, it said 'Anon'. I thought that it was a name, and 'Anon' had loads of embarrasing moments! Then, I was proven wrong when I realised 'Anon' kept switching from a Male to a Female and back again! I finally found out it meant 'Anononymous'. My mum still teases me about it.

When I was in 4th grade, my class had to do a poetry lesson and at the end of the semester, we had to put together a compilation of poems by a famous poet. Most people did Shel Silverstein, or even the over achievers did Emily Dickenson..So, I go to present my poems(which was a lot more than the rest of the class) and I stated proudly for the class:

"My poet was Anonymous. He was very famous and wrote hundreds and hundresd of poems."

My teacher laughed for about five minutes.

Up until about last week, I used to beleive that there was this one person named Anon, who sent in all of these things to this website and I thought "Wow, how could one person beleive all of that?" This stopped when I read two different things signed by "Anon" and one was from a boy, and one was from a girl...

when i first came on this site i keept reading the belives for anon so i asked my mom what it ment and so it means anonumes so anon if u get this belive ask ur parents y they named u that!!! :P

i too thought Anon was a name...then i read some posts. but i was thinking wow anon has a lot of weird beliefs.

i did this about 2 weeks ago. I was reading all these things that people believed when they were young, and most of it i also believed (im only 15) and i kept seeing in the place where your name would normally be, the name "Anon"... well I thought, heck, this Anon person sure did believe a lot of stuff when they were little, either that or they wanted attention... then i asked my mom why Anon put SOOOO many beliefs.... she started laughing at me, and when she could finally breathe she explained to me that Anon stood for "Anonymous"...

When I first found this site I thought when someone put 'Anon' as their name, that was ACTUALLY their name. I always said the person had some STRANGE beliefs.

I came to this site and read some of the things people wrote...and I realized that a lot of the really funny ones were by this person called "Anon". It was weird cause I thought, wow I havent heard THAT name before but I guess it's pretty popular. I finally realized that Anon stood for Anonymous.

I used to think "Anonymous" was an ancient Greek philosopher (I guess I was confusing it with Aristotle), and that he came up with a lot of different ideas. I was ten years old before I found out differently.

I was reading this site and I was thinking, "Wow, this guy named Anon sure had a lot of weird thoughts!" until I read the other people's beliefs who thought the smae thing! How could I be so dumb?? (anon stands for anonymous)

I used to believe that anonymous was an actual persons name- i thought he wrote a lot of stuff!

I believed for the longest time when looking at this site that "anon" was a persons name who kept making up stuff. But actually short for anonymous. i'm soo dumb!!

Until about 1 minute ago I thought that some person named Anon had a very big family and a very good memory. Just now I realised its short for anonamous.

All my life, when reading things like this site where people sign "Anon.", I thought Anon was an actual person's first name. I only realized that it wasn't when reading this site and figuring that one person couldn't possibly have had that many strange childhood beliefs. We won't mention how old I am. ;p

Once, WAAAAAAAAAY back when I was little, I was at this site where people submitted their childhood beliefs, and I came to the conclusion that some one named Anon had some serious issues.

I used to think Anon was a just another prolific writer, and wondered what his first name was. (Yeah yeah, I was a chauvinistic little brat, assuming Anon was male... )
