I write more.
I'm on this forum.
I found a whole genre of fiction I didn't know existed.
I've found two heroes. (One's fictional, and shouldn't be much of a hero really, but meh.)
I occaisonally listen to Nine Inch Nails.
I'm more conscious of our consumer culture.
I'm locked in an internal battle, choosing who comes out with better aphorisms, Chuck Palahniuk, or Nietzsche.

You know, I say this a lot to this one kid I speak to fairly occaisonally, but Fight Club came to me at such a perfect time in my life. I mean, right when all those thoughts like "Why the fuck should I care what clothes she's wearing?" and my lady issues. Right when I was faced with my iminent future, big important exams coming up and everything. Right then Tyler just said: "Fuck damnation. Fuck redemption. We are God's unwanted children - So be it." And they were the biggest words I'd ever heard.

I'd found a fight club in Fight Club.

It just seemed orchestrated to fit in with me though, and I know it wasn't, don't worry. But, from The Narrator's sleepless nights, and the way he was at work, to the father and woman issues, and all those other little bits that mean nothing taken out of context, they all danced around me.

Now it's your turn. How has this book/movie made you look at life differently?[/QUOTE]

Wanna hook up with crazy chicks.
Read all of Palahniuk's books.
Think Ed Norton is the greatest actor of all time now, sorry Bobby D.
Joined a writers workshop or a cult, whatever.
Became a chef.
Fell in love with philosophy.
Made every person I know either watch the movie or read the book. And will cut there fingers off if not returned in the shape I lent it.
Probably lots more just can't think of it, OH YES, everytime I hear 30 Seconds to Mars I think of Jared Leto getting shit rocked by Ed Norton.

Because of fight club

I read all Chuck's books.
I got the movie
I nag everyone I meet about reading it and seeing it (I have never met anyone who didn't like the movie - few people in Norway have read the book, sadly)
My image of Meatloaf changed, and I now love Ed and Brad as actors
The ass or the crotch thing, every time
I've always been nice to waiters and such, but now I'm painfully conscious of being so
I'm more conscious of myself as a consumer; how sadly descriptive that is of all of us
I've been wanting to not have a TV, that timestealer, but then what would I watch the Fight Club DVD on?
I secretly long to dress like Tyler Durden, but if given the chance, I'd only do it if I was drunk or in a foreign country where I could really get in character then come back home and be like, Germany (or whatever) was nice. We had good weather.
I've been wondering about once a day what the real recipe for nitro is
I joined the cult
I write more
I give less of a fuck, so that I can fuck more
I've listened to a lot of music that I otherwise wouldn't have
I found the nihilist in me
I discovered palahniukesque writers
I have attended a few very cool writing seminars here on the cult
I felt that I had been defined in a new way, accurately and surprisingly - I was definitely one of the millions who felt like the movie might as well have been about them, if they were schizophrenic
I watched all my UFC videos over again.
And again
I hate advertising that patronizes people, like they're idiots, because I look around and whaddayaknow - they are
I replied to this thread

Becasue of fight club I went through my house and cleaned out all useless stuff and purged of anything that I bought that didnt have a purpose. Becasue of fight club I changed my view on alot of advertiseing and started to think more about life then whos name was on my jeans. Becasue of fight club I started reading alot more and cut my T.V waatching down to almost 1/4 of what I use, which I think has something to do with not buying as much. Becasue of fight club I dumped my no good girlfreind and found a chick who liked me for me.
