to try and make this a productive thread, I have to say that GW has influence pretty much all my taste in culture. There are a lot of bands on my computer only because of GW (mostly due to chef, TBH), and definitely my sense of humor and my taste in art (i did my senior thesis for high school on dadaism, which i never would have known about except for GW). I mostly lurk here, so its kind of odd how much this place has shaped me. I dunno, maybe i'm really lame for investing myself too much in INTERNET FORUM, but, if not for being able to creepily watch some interesting people, then i've found alot of random media i like through this place.
so i'm going to throw out the idea that we make this a "how has gw affected your life?" thread instead of whatever it was before
