What moment of your life would you want to re-live?
 
If you were given one chance to re-live just one moment of your life, what would that one moment be? Would you revisit a happy time and just suck it all in again? Would you go back to change something because of regrets? Or do you like how you life is now and you believe in things in the Future not the Past.

Well I can't chose just one thing.

1. The first time I found out about Oddworld.
2. When I went to Dreamworld.
3. Many Christmases.
4. Many birhdays

And so on...

I like how things are now but seeing Rexy again would be too good to turn down. :p

That moment, sometime during my first veiwing of the "Abe's Moon" FMV, when something was stirred up inside me and changed my life forever. You all know what I'm talking about.

Going back to Disneyland for the first time would be cool - so much better than I thought it would be!

I'd also love to go back to the summer camp I worked on last northern summer knowing all that I know now because I wouldn't get all caught up in the politics and cliquey popularity contests that happened and would be able to relax and have fun. And also it would be a good chance to tell the boss what I thought of him to his face.

Hmmmm, definately NOT 8th grade. Worst time of my life.

I really don't know, maybe my summer in Peru, it gave me an entirely new outlook on life. Or last summer, funnest time of my life, and alos gave me an entirely new outlook on life.

Go back to when I was 4 and got a PS1, then not play it as much. Gaming has become an addiction since I touched one.

Dark Elite_H2 04-23-2006 08:18 AM

Oh...where to start...
Well, the most of my life that I really wanna relive, is when I was young, only 12-13, living in california, with all my friends, at school, and in my neigborhood.
Sure, Beale AFB wasn't all that large, but there, you had a bounty of friends you could hang out with.
And all of 'em I had were the bomb...
:( I wish I had never moved away from 'em...:crying:

Time to post something serious for once...

The time I first met Sammy. :)

Havoc 04-23-2006 09:18 AM

Hmmm... I'd go back to the time where I was working with tigers and stuff. I can't believe i've been so stupid to leave that place! >_<

[Neo] 04-23-2006 01:37 PM

When I lost my virginity... w0t?:P You asked for it >_<, it was like: ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF AM I DOING?! ZOMGWTFBBQ... Ok enuff :P

Wow, a thread by Wolfpac that's brings out everyone's serious sides. After six years, the Forums haven't lost the ability to surprise. :D

No specific moment, I'm afraid. I used to wish I'd gone to my current school from the beginning instead of wasting time at state school, but eventually accepted that I'd be a different person had that happened.

Lately I've been postulating on what would happen if I suddenly woke up and it was six years ago, but I retained the confidence and wisdom I've accumulated over the years. Ah, the things I would have put so much more effort into had I had hindsight.

EDIT: Which doesn't answer the question. I wouldn't want to relive anything as it was. Onwards and upwards!

I often humor the thought of miraculously being sent back to 7th grade. Then I could get even higher grades than before, and fix all of the serious problems that I let myself fall into in 8th grade. But one must never look back....

Leto 04-23-2006 06:24 PM

1999, new years eve. I teased people older than me for believing in the Y2K bug. Plus, I camped out on a farm in the middle of nowhere.

OANST 04-24-2006 05:44 AM

The first time that I killed a homeless person. God, that was a magical day.

Alcar 04-24-2006 06:32 AM

Exactly 1 year and 5 days ago. I'd like to re-live that day and night. I think I nearly cried on its anniversary.

Alcar...

SeaRex 04-24-2006 08:38 AM

There are far too many moments in my life when I've made an awkward ass out of myself that I'd like to relive, simply so I could do things less awkwardly and much less assy. I'll just leave it at that and let the reader make his or her own inferences, although I'm sure that a lot of you know what I mean.

Amber and I had a really awkward first kiss, though (my fault). I'd definitely like to go back and "fix" that.

Abe 01 04-24-2006 09:07 AM

i wanna go back to legoland :(

Nate 04-24-2006 07:32 PM

Inspired by SeaRex; I think I'd go back to my first kiss (and various other things that followed thereon) and redo it with someone I actually liked.

Mojo 04-24-2006 11:07 PM

MAny things, including my first kiss, and my first gig with my band.

Dancing Steef 04-25-2006 02:29 AM

When I first tried "Skydiving", a showpeice at Gröna Lund in Sweden - I never forget and I'll gladly do it again. Jus' starting to think of makes me all go crazy:p

My first astral projection. Damn, that was a night to remember.....

....I'd relive my whole 8th Grade year if I could.

Cutiepants! After a long time of thinking, I really wouldn't re-do any of those moments. The awkwardness is a natural thing at first... It's all part of the experience. If by some miracle, we both instantly knew what we were doing... we would have mixed out on learning, I guess you could call it, and that just wouldn't have been as fun.

I also wouldn't go back to un-do anything bad because after I did it, I'd realize there was something even more significant I should have re-done and I get angry at myself, causing me to wish I could go back in time and re-do my re-doing. Too confusing.

So I'd pick any of my happiest, most exciting moments again with Luke--to relive it and not change anything. If it weren't a memory with him, I'd probably pick some wonderful childhood memory. I miss some of the simple joys in life that I just can't enjoy anymore.

I wasn't going to post in this thread originally, as I've had a lot of good moments but really havn't done anything I've been particuarly proud of in 2 years. However there was this one time a couple of years ago when I was coming to the end of my short lived athletics career. I was having troubles with my knee and the more I ran the worse it got. Physios didn't do shit and the club didn't look after us very well.

Anyway there was a state competition cross country meet n I was selected. I was tellin my missus I was going out with at the time that I was going to give it my best shot no matter how much pain I was going through. She told me i was no chance n to help one of the younger guys in the club who also got in to run with me on the day to build his confidence and help him run smarter. I told her there was no way I was goin to do that because I was doin it for myself n I was still better then most of Australia even when I was crippled. She'd seen me stuggling on the track n knew I was a no hoper so she persistently kept sayin let tom run with u.

So on the day I grabbed him n said listen run with me n do what i say. I think he was a bit surprised because I was a bit arrogant at the time n didn't really speak to the younger guys. Anyway we're goin around the course n I'm mentally ticking the kilometres away in my head. I think around half way we were in a comfortable position around 6th or 7th n still running strongg. Then my leg started shaking n I could feel it wanting to give way. I started tellin the dickhead to keep his pace n build it up slowly after every 100 strides. I dunno if he got the message but I fell over n the dickhead looked back as he was runnin n he slowed his pace. I was pretty pissed off that he did that because he lost some ground. I ended up limping off the course n got back after everyone finished. The dude I was running with got second n he came up n said he was really thankful for what i did. My missus was running her course when I got back but when she finished she was beamin at me. N I could tell she was really proud of what I did which made me feel good inside.
I felt better about myself then I ever have in my life.

**** that was a long story. sorry to bore u

Ninjaxe 04-26-2006 05:24 AM

Simply my high schools years...I have gained, loved and lost. Sadly email contact is not enough. I remember a girl I had named Suzanne Smith. All the fun we had to together. So she was alot smarter than I was. End of a school years. We went in separate directions. she went to England to study Law while I went to Edinburgh (in Scotland) to study Computing. Spiliting up was bad and I sure that she is with someone better.

Darn it a tear to my eye...I wish I could see her again!!!

You are in 8th grade are you not?

Yeah, but it's been the best year of my life (so far)! :D

Ha, odd, this year has been my best school year, and I expect the summer to be grander.

Disgruntled Intern 04-26-2006 09:59 PM

I'd like to relive the fifteen minutes of akward groping and apologies that took place while I was losing my virginity.

Good times, good times.
