If you woke tommorow, and it was three years ago...

[sephiroth clock]

What if you tommorow you woke up and it was three years ago. Everything was just like three years ago, including your physical body, the only thing different would be that you remembered everything. Then lets say you had fallen in love with a girl recently and and were going to get married, but now you haven't even met. everything you ever worked on didn't exist or anything you had done. all the people you had met since then didn't exsist. What would you do, who would you talk to?

[Nebulae]

that is so weird ive had this strange obsessive fantasy that that would happen to me. ive played out what would happen over ten billion times. ive been fantasising over this for almost 7 years..how strange

[sephiroth clock]

wow thats wierd. with a girl too? I've been fantisizing about this too recently. this thought could entertain me forever.

[Nebulae]

well, my boyfriend =-) i only met him a year ago but we went to high school across the road from each other! i fantasise about going and meeting up with him as teenagers

[Negaigoto]

3 years ago... shit... i can relate to the significant other thing, though i'd just do that all the same, probably, unless i thought to mayb pick up some more common interests, like LDing and other stuff that i'm realizing is more interesting than i'd thought it might b before... mayb i'd have met him earlier... but i don't know that that would have been a good thing; i'd probably make sure i didn't meet him until i did the 1st time. 3 years ago i started to write stories for the 1st time... i don't know that i'd like knowing what would happen with that, but i'd probably do it all again, only better this time... ...i wouldn't do some of the accidental and stupid shit that ended up hurting my friends. i'd know what effect my actions would have, what i did to hurt them, and i'd know better. i'd be endlessly annoyed with my friends... but i'd kick school's pathetic little ass. ...and then i'd shoot the idiot who put me back 3 years just for the sake of principle.

3 years...that would place me a couple months before the beggining of my senior year. Wow...what I wouldn't give to be there again. I would just use my knowledge so that I can make the best of the situation in certain aspects. For example I would find someway to get some cash in order to live those years up(I don't mean millions, I just mean enough money for me to be able to hang out with my friends as much as I would have wanted) I was kind of strapped for cash back then, and all my friends lived relatively far away, so that made things hard. I would enjoy every single moment once again and most of all I would love to be with my best friends again(one moved to Colombia and the other to my native Mexico). Shit...I had such great times with them...what I wouldn't give to be back. I'm sorry, I realize I just ranted like a madman, but I really can't talk about stuff like that without turning into a nostalgic bastard. I would basically live my senior year as I did, but with some small changes and I would also deal with things in a more evolved manner, as I feel I have grown immensily in the past couple years... *coincidentaly listening to Aerosmith's Full Circle as I typed*

Oh yeah that'd be great. I'd kick some pre-emptive ass, tell my dad not to waste all his fuckin money on my brothers stupid company and the stock market etc so we dont have to move to this shitty house, and some other stuff, that'd be pretty cool. But you cant change it anyway so best thing is to look forward instead of backwards.

I always love remembering those times, but always get sad. Went from listening to Static-X Control It to The Verve-Bittersweet Symphony

Three years would take me back the the beginning of my sophomore year of HS. That was a turning point in my life, but If I did it again, I might turn even more. One thing that wouldn't change would be my friends, but thats about it. There are a number of things I wish I'd done sooner (getting my drivers license, getting a start on some hobbies, etc.), and some things I'd do a bit differently, like meeting my girlfriend. Mostly, what I'd do is just go for it, 'cause every day counts. The only thing I really regret is that I haven't gone for every oportunity when I should have. Oh, and I'd find some way to avoid running for the cross country team to get out of gym, because my knee is screwed up now.

[Lomebririon]

I would love that. I've still got unfinished business back there. There's quite a bit of stuff you could do if you could go back in time. Tell you guys what, as soon as I find out how to, i'll let you know. Hmm... 3 years. Puts me back at the start of grade 11. Oooh...

[Kaniaz]

Go back and win the lottery.

[Truthbearer]

It's great how you conveniently know the lottery results from 3 years ago... I wouldn't want to become rich or anything, as I am sure if that actually happened to me I would know there is a bigger purpose behind it. I would just make enough money so that I could truly make the best out of those years. I guess either betting on sports or the stock market(with the info we now know concerning 9/11's aftermath) would be the best way to go, unless you want to memorize the lotto results every single day in hopes that one day this will happen to you

[Xisdence]

And while you go back and win the lottery, invent everyones inventions/ideas that where already done in the future Or you could do what i would, use all the information and stuff you found out about a girl you liked, to ask her out

[Kaniaz]

Originally posted by Truthbearer It's great how you conveniently know the lottery results from 3 years ago... Nothing will stop time from moving forward again - just wait until the most recent time (back in time). Shit that's getting confusing, nevermind.

[Crucible]

I've considered this too many many times. One thing I want after I die is to be able to do this. In fact, if the "after life" is what most people hope it to be I will be doing that first thing...

[Taosaur]

I don't know that it would make any difference. I've grown a lot in the last three years...but I needed the experience of the last three years to do it. The "nasty" surprises all turned into the most important learning experiences, so should I avoid them? There was a relationship in there that I'm still healing from, so maybe I would get over it at a younger age...and of course I could avoid the person completely, so that as far as she knew we never met. It wouldn't give me any advantage, I guess, to go back three years, because I would just end up on a whole different path. Now, to go back 6, or 8, or 10...maybe. Anyone read Vonnegut's Timequake? In there, everyone is thrown back ten years and has to watch themselves do exactly the same things again. Yipe. EDIT: On second thought, it would be interesting to observe just what did change and what stayed the same, and how your own actions changed things. It should teach you more about reality, I'd think. Of course, reality doesn't allow for such lessons...

[sephiroth clock]

Not only think about changing things but, would any of you tell people? Who would you tell. I wonder if they would believe you. You could stop nine eleven or something if they believed you

[Taosaur]

Except that 9/11 was just over three years ago . You'd be popping back just after 9/11, right into uncertainty after.
