Do-over

[NorthernChaosGod]

The boring people.

So now that activity in this thread has died off, time to reveal that I've been doing a different thought experiment than the rest of you.

Having decided that I wouldn't go back to my own past if I could, I asked this question and have been deciding, based on the responses, who I would send back into their own past if I could. I've come up with a grand total of 3 people I'd send back. Most of your responses have been disappointingly glib.

Who do you think the 3 are?

I assume one would be me since you changed the topic before providing a counter to my last arguement.

Iceglow's ego does, indeed, take up enough space for three people.

The answer is correct but the reason is not. I just don't think "I think you're deluding yourself" is an argument, it's an opinion. I think it would be interesting to see how things turned out.

Negative, I don't think Iceglow would really benefit from a do-over at all.

EDIT: None of the people I'd send back agree with me. Otherwise there'd be no point.

If only Raistlin really knew anything about me to actually make that comment... :P

I agree with Bleys actually, I wouldn't benefit from a do-over at all. I have precious few regrets and the regrets I do have I've made my peace with.

Then do I get to go back and smurf with stuff?

[Citizen Bleys]

Negative.

What if I talked like this?

[Shattered Dreamer]

Having been not arsed to read the rest of this thread I'll give it a whirl just the same.

As much as I regret some of the choices I have made in my life, god knows everyone does it's part of being human, I feel it is those choices that shaped me into the man I am today for better or for worse!

Notwithstanding that, there are a number of things I would like to change:

1. I wish I attended at least 1 or both of my school graduation dances/proms.
2. I wish I had worked a little harder in the final months of secondary school/high school to ensure a higher test score which meant not having to pay to go to private college. Although 18 year old me hated school with the fiery passion of a thousand suns & just wanted out so yeah $hit happens!
3. I should of done Law & Business as my degree rather than just Law.Would of given me more options in the way of post graduate study & better job prospects. The exam points needed to get into Law & Business were lower too. But whatever to that one I loved college
4.Never should of gotten involved with my last girlfriend. She was & still is a psychopath
5.As a direct consequence of number 4 I screwed up with a new woman. She's since moved back to Thailand having finished her Masters, you win some you lose some I guess
6.Never should of moved back in with my room mate from 3rd year of college. We're childhood friends. As much as I hated living in the countryside with my parents (I hate the place, I love my family & friends there though) living with him again has been more trouble then it's worth. I'm moving out next week so yeah lesson learned the hard way....again!

You're already one of the 3, as the most well-reasoned opposition.

[Hollycat]

Now I think I'd also warn everybody of every bad thing ever. Or maybe I'd go back and be a super villian, with my mechanics knowledge, I coulda conquered texas by 2nd grade.
