I dunno... on one hand, there was that psychotic ***** that almost ruined my life, but on the other hand, if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have most the friends I do now... so probably no...

Another Escapist have given me similar advice, I'll do it once we are back in the same state, since she is currently not in Louisiana.martyrdrebel27 said:
Definitely, however - I'd keep it until I've hit 70 - 75. In the years between now and then I'd spend my time learning everything I wanted to, refining my abilities and then reverting to further the cause of humanity.
Or - just hit it now, go back ten years and design Facebook myself. Done.

Yes, I would use it on my deathbed in order to extend my lifespan.
Or else sell it to the highest bidder and then give all of the proceeds to my children/charity.

instead of the sub-par grades i actually got throughout my school career.
I'd do it to go back to my sophomore year of high school. So many wacky shenanigans, I'd by lying if I said I didn't have a great time.
most deffinately, ive fucked up a large portion of my life so far and would like to correct those mistakes and have fun. i wouldnt mind in the least.
Time is a complicated thing. Yes, I do have some things I'd like to change, but I'd be running the risk of altering myself and the world in unpleasant ways.
By it's very nature, time is always moving forward. And so should we.

I go back and either
A) pick all the corect lottery numbers for every lottery in any place I can reach
B) invest heavily in Nintendo (before the announce and release the Wii) and in Apple (before all the Ipad/ Iphone Explosions) and any other company I can think off that gonna go big.
C) Wait until my life is almost over than push the button to go back so I extend my life, and can still do A and B

There's a was a time in my life where I blew my chances with a girl because I didn't have enough confidence to make the next move. She ended up getting involved with drugs (she wasn't at the time of the incident) and becoming the class slut. I was a straight arrow, though. I've always wondered what would have became of us both if I'd had the nerve to ask her out (something she clearly wanted me to do, in hindsight).
On the one hand my influence might have kept her away from drugs and sex and all that. On the other hand, she might have influenced me in that direction instead. Alternatively, it might have broken off right away and had next to no impact.
However, I don't want to risk what and who I am now. I'd only agree to change the outcome there if I knew it would create a separate timeline, and I could come back to the current one.

Yes, I would use it. I'd use it to go back to Saturday, the 24th of July, 2010.
That was the date of The Prodigy's Warrior's Dance Festival, aka the most epic night of my life. I'd re-live from the morning, not have those fucking awful chips I had so I wouldn't vomit halfway through the night, but apart from that I'd just re-live it.
Then, life would continue as normal. I'd do everything I usualyl do, except I'd be keeping the motivation and knowledge I have now to lose weight and get muscle, so I'd be starting early. Back then I had no motivation to, but now that I've met a special someone, I do.
By the time I re-meet her, I would be a better person than I was, and I would know what chances to talk to her come up, and what I should say when they do.
Therefore, everything will go a lot smoother. Being less fat than I was, and therefore more attractive, and also being more confident due to already knowing what to say and what not to say, the relationship should develop far more than it is currently. And definately not accidently let slip to a certain dickhead my feelings for her, because I'll know he'll pester me about it and drop hints about it when other people are around, when I wanted it kept secret.
As a bonus, I'd know what to revise and what not to revise for my final GCSE exams. Would save a lot of time.
Also, it would be really cool to have the surreal experience of knowing what's going to happen before it does...
