Ask The Readers: What Weird Things Have Influenced You? [Organize IT]
Recently two of my favorite blogs have taken big steps forward. This has had a motivational affect on me and my aspirations for Organize IT (more on all this in a future post) and it got me thinking about influences. Over the years, particularly as a child, I’ve had a few weird/funny ones, some of which are listed below. What weird influences have you had?
- Friends (the TV sitcom)
In my naive pre-teen optimism I thought it was perfectly normal to have such a close group of friends who knew each other from college and were conveniently neighbors too. I also thought Chandler (Mathew Perry) was super cool, which probably explains where I get my sarcasm from… - The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13¾
Oddly perhaps, this book was one of the first influences that put the idea of being a writer into my head. Looking back over ten years later, I can’t remember why that was, but that might just be me blocking out my memories of teenage angst. - House M.D.
It’s one of my favorite shows and Gregory House is a brilliantly written (and performed) character. I’m not sure how it’s influenced me on any deep level, but I’m a walking stick away from being able to pull of a half-decent impression of him at a fancy dress party so that must mean something.
