No, but I do know a couple of people who were born two or three weeks premature.

With the music I listen to, I was definitely born at the wrong time.

No. My latest writing about myself states that I was glad to be born in this era.

Not really. Maybe a few years earlier, but not much.

What exactly does this thread have to do with me now?

I want to live in the time after our civilisation goes up the lala, and when a new civilisation has been formed. It'd be awesome. We'd be like: "this is a bridge made millions of years ago by an earlier group of homosapiensapiens."

So cool.

I have no idea what context the link has to the thread.

I've wanted to maintain my current day intelligence, knowledge (def'n: factual memory), and go back to say, the first enlightenment. I might not be accepted because I'm asian (ugh @ the one thing prevent me from truly successfully time traveling and surviving), but if I can get past that, omg the fun I would have.

I want to be an astronaut, but I do not have the four year degree and three years of experience that they callfor, and won't for another six or seven years, In essense, I was born ten years too late, although that would make me roughly as old as mybrother xD

Will they not need astronauts in six to seven years time?

Did you not pay attention to how long John Glenn was in service? :(

All the time! I wish I was born in the early 60's so I would be just the right age to see all the progressive rock concerts, and have the excitement of buying the LP's when they first came out, wondering what would come next. Plus, I'd probably still be young enough to get involved in videogames too, which is my only concern about being born earlier.

I don't really think that's possible for anyone. I mean people were born when they were born for a reason. No matter how badly someone thinks their life sucks simply because they were born at a certain time, it's always possible for your life to suck more by being born during a different time.

True true, but it's still fun to daydream about it as impossible as it is.

With the music I listen to, I was definitely born at the wrong time.

Same here. I had to grow up listening to boy bands and Britney Spears and her army of clones until I discovered the wonders of music recorded before 1990.

I think there are certainly time periods that I'd like to have visited and seen. However, I think I was born about the right time, perhaps a little later than I'd have liked. Beyond talking a few years earlier, I can't really think of any period I would've been better suited to.

I think it would have been cool to have been born in medieval times.

Sure bert if you call plague and other diseases, religious domination (if you aint christian and the same type of christian as the monarch you're a heretic and burn kind of domination) and the unfair taxes of the nobles the 14 or 15 hour summer work days (dawn til dusk) the you could be dragged off to war and not be given a sword or bow but be expected to beat your fellow man to death or find a weapon on the battlefield or perhaps a kitchen knife or sharpened garden implement fun then it was a barrell of laughs. Same goes for feudal japan Lance, so much stuff you don't normally hear about but by god if you did you'd change your mind. Romanticising the past is one of the worst things humanity does, and believe me I'd know I write for a medieval/fantasy based game and am highly guilty of romanticising the past myself.

I believe however I was born to late or too early I'm undecided which but yeah sometimes I look at this world and think "sure this is real?"
