I'd do it, but only if I can go back 20 years--but my concern is entirely with myself. Who cares about being "cool" or messing with peoples' heads? I'd rather get a jump on the writing and drawing and have the sense to stay in shape.
Life's a lot more enjoyable when you see it from the perspective of knowing what's actually important and what you can ignore.

Do it again?! Why on Earth would I want to do it again?!?!?
Why suffer through another decade of schools designed for the criminally stupid? (seriously, I've never been to a school I found satisfying. Ever. And if I had to go through all of 2nd grade and up again well, quite frankly, I'm not sure I would.)
Why suffer through another decade of being treated like a second class citizen? (It's always annoyed me that I'm not yet a legal adult. I'm more mature than most of them godsdammit!)
Why suffer through another decade of being too intellectual for your age group and too young for your intellectual peers? (Seriously, who would you date. The booger eaters of your age group or the pedophiles of your actual age group.)
I've got no regrets. None. I'm looking to the future. That's where the action is.

Ok seriously this is getting out of hand. We need to do something about this guy and his crabs.

Ah. So you give the smaller ones a place to live because the larger ones raised you? Very noble of you. Noble and itchy. I assume. *Ahem*The Iron Ninja post=18.70898.707585 said:
Depends, yes you can fix mistakes, but does that really fix some things? I mean, I'm sure we've all had some personal event in our life that "scarred" us in some way, but if you retained everything it wouldn't go away in your head. After searching as to why I'm so introverted I was able to pinpoint one event that kinda shaped that. Now I could go back and avoid this situation, but it would still be in my head, never truly correcting anything.
Damn. You've ruined all our dreams.Shivari post=18.70898.707601 said:
Perhaps it would be better to send a video back to yourself and explain everything. You could also tell them what to do and how to act so that you may shape yourself in any way you see fit. Also, you'd be able to warn yourself of future events and/or steal a future idea and get yourself to publish it as your own. Yeah, take that! Our dreams are back on track!
Two powerful arguements here.Darth Mobius post=18.70898.707609 said:
Sure, it may still stick with you, but if you can avoid it, stop it, you may have an agreeably better life.
At his point though I don't have any major mistakes that I would change though. Yeah I would change a few minor things here and there and pretty much jump 10 grades in school (which could be cool in a way.) But if that one memory could go away, my life in general would improve. So for me, yes that memory would be what I'd want to change.
And PurpleRain, it's not an event like getting my arm cut off or something, it's something that truly scarred me so much that I'm horribly shy now. If that memory was still there it wouldn't matter if that event didn't happen in my retry, because it's still in my mind.

Hmm, well I can't say too much here. Things like that can only be healed through yourself and only. Nothing, not even altering time can.Shivari post=18.70898.707618 said:
I've never had one of these moments and nor would I wish anyone else to. I couldn't imagine what happened but only wish for a better future for you.
Now we get into some weird metaphysics, psychology, and philosophy. Would reliving that moment and guiding it to a happier outcome heal that scar? Maybe, but who knows? For many emotional scars I think it would work since the damage is not so much that it happened but that this hypothetical person feels they could have changed how things went, and become a happier person. For those people, simply seeing that it was possible would be a boon. Retroactively making it happen would be out of this world.Shivari post=18.70898.707618 said:
This is what I was thinking as well - I think it would be incredibly therapeutic to relive a tramautic event, but have the knowledge and ability to confront it and change the outcome for the better. So, after thinking about it, I think that yes, I would go back if I could. All the other stuff would be great as well - I could tell myself: "Lay off the butter, man." and I wouldn't be the fatass I am today.Saskwach post=18.70898.707639 said:
But that remark about having to wait 10 years for Fallout 3 certainly gave me pause...
Mmmm... ten years ago...
I'd totally do it and play FF8, Xenogears, FFtactics, Baldurs gate and Parasite eve a whole shit ton. I'd also buy a bunch of great anime and play D&D a lot.
Wait... that's what I did in 1998 as it was. So, would I change anything? Well, I would still have like five years on my contract in the Navy, so that is definately a strike against this idea. Reliving that hell would be more trouble than it is worth. Really one man can't change the tide of time by himself. I wouldn't be able to do a damn thing about 9 11. Convincing people not to vote for somebody would not work either. There would still be war and high gas prices. Really, the only thing you could change is your perspective and possibly your own finances.
I could stop myself from making my mistakes, but those are what makes me who I am today. Also, would the mind be able to handle diverging timelines in your head. You know what originally happened during this ten year period, but with your slight changes you start to get confused when something that is supposed to occur does not occur. It's more than likely that you'll incur some sort of mental disorder from the strain of it all.
Anyways, I set my save point 9 years ago, so this is a moot point.
