Everyone knows him as Cervantes, even though his full name is Miguel de Cervantes. I live in Castilla-La Mancha and everywhere is Quijote.. I even know a lady called Dulcinea.. not a common name btw.

Edit. Just read this and sorry might have come across overly pedantic. I just got up and my brain is still toast.

Well there's probably not a lot of other well-know people with the last name "(de) Cervantes". Same in Germany, no one ever uses "Johann Wolfgang von Goethe", it's always just "Goethe".

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.
