    + Not moving to my brothers 4 years ago when I had the chance, that would have infact have changed all of the other things I have on this shortlist. I should have gone to his and lived there with him.

    I then think of what or where would I like to go in the future I could go see how I turned out secretly but in doing so I would change that future irrevocably because since the time machine is single use it will never come to pass for me because I am in the timezone of the future trapped.

    I would rather go back 4 years and move to my brothers but having the knowlege of now I would be able to steer my life in directions I want to progress in.

    EDIT: I suppose if I had to do a unselfish reason I would move backwards in to the past having learnt a lot of stuff about energy production and methods of renewable power and teach the people of the victorian era the secrets of electricity from renewable sources rather than steam and coal.
    where does your brother live?...wait..havent you already told me that? i'm gonna go back in time to see if you told me that. BRB

    I would go back in time and kill Agrias's grandparents so she could never start this thread... but then, if she never started this thread, I'd never have gone back in time in the first place. The resulting paradox would tear a hole in the space-time continuum and destroy the universe, ensuring that Square will never make a crappy FFVII add-on again. Success!
    This is a signature.

    Back to the Future movies taught me that the smallest things can really screw up time, so no

    you can't smite from the future...for all intents and purposes the past doesn't exist anyway, so time travel is silly...we can only travel forward at various speeds. i take back my previous post.

    I'd go back to the middle ages with a vaccine for plague! I'd say I was God in human form and my family would rule the world. How smurfing cool would that be?

    dood you know how much vaccine you'd need?

    I would go back in time to the moment where my parents we're having sex to have me. I'd run into the room and slap my dad in the ass and scream "I'M FROM THE FUTURE I'M YOUR SON! HAHAHAHAHAH!" and run away.


    Incidently enough I'd love to have Dane Cook's babies.

    You're too late Agrias, I already had Optimus with him. Now let me get out of here before we stray off topic.

    Two words- stock market.

    That, or I'd go back to last summer, and tell myself not to register for that damned english class. (That or drop it before it counted as a W.) Then I'd actually have gotten financial aid this semester.
