Topic: What Would You Re-Do?

We all make mistakes every once and a while...Sometimes they can be life-changing. If you were to have a chance to re-do something, what would it be?
For me, it would be a certian test that I took in 7th grade...I thought I was ready...I wasn't
It dropped my grade down to a B+ (That's HORRIFYING to me, okay?) It totally broke my A and A- record...
So, it really made me want to improve my study habits. Not bad, right? Except I took it too far...
Soon grades were my life. I had very few friends, except for the ones I already had before I went all psycho for grades. Thus, it would probably be better to say that I MADE very few friends...Not to mention the social impediment I developed...
Not only that, but I also developed an OCD behavior...I really can't stand it if something's not perfect...
If I were to re-take that test, maybe...just maybe, I could've lived a (semi) normal life...One where I didn't fret about the smallest things and wasn't as shy around people...

So! What kinds of things do YOU guys wish you could re-do? Let me know!

High school. Seriously. I'd just recharge my grades, and I'd be on my way up!

I wouldn't have played 3-handed $30/$60 limited hold'em a couple weeks ago.
I got killed and now I've lost the motivation to play any more online poker.

But even that could be for the best because now I'm really motivated to pull my whole bankroll out and play live or on a different site (for a wider game selection), so that could end up being integral to my overall poker success.

At the moment I really can't think of anything that I could have done differently in the past to make my present more enjoyable/successful. Even stuff that seemed horrible at the time (such as breaking up with my girlfriend) now seem to have been for the best, in retrospect.

A lot of things, but most of all not loosing one of my dearest friends called Matt. It was the beginning (and end) of my "Gotta be cool or get out!" phase, which meant being a complete @$$ to everybody I knew that I didn't consider "cool". After I realized that being like that was going to make me dumb and like everybody else for the rest of my life, I decided to just ditch the whole "Gotta be cool!" BS and just be myself. I'm not sure if the whole situation worked out for the better...

EDIT: I considered my friend Matt "uncool". That's a bit important, right?

Just Kidding XD

So, I'm player Street Fighter II, in the arcades, and I've not lost a round. I'm 1-0 up against M Bison, he has pretty much no energy left, I dizzy him, and walk up to crush him with a dragon punch...

It goes completely wrong somehow, and I do a jumping punch in thin air, and Bison crushes me.

I'd change that.

completely opposite thing of bleach. i started really slacking off a little while back and almost completely stopped doing math homework. usually im a straight A student, but my grades dropped to Bs and Cs. im still debating why i even did this, because i knew that what i was doing was stupid, but i think i may have ADHD. anyway, i got hit with a huge ban from video games, television, and computer.
BTW, this isnt the thing i would want to redo most, just the first one off the top of my head

Making less threads when I was new to NL.
Though I normally think that what's done is done, I would definitely re-do that if it was possible.

The Matrix Reloaded & Revolutions.

Oh god... I could only watch half of Reloaded before I had to stop. Haven't finished it since.

Wished I would have never played Wind Waker or Mario Sunshine. Not so much a re do but I wished I would of re thought those purchases.

the day we cleaned the coi pond and lost all our super fish.

I would have taken that left turn at Albuquerque.

I would have changed my mind the day I decided to get fat.

I did this in year 7. But 2 years later, I pulled the finer out of my backside, and now im in the top english class. Love me school!

Something like that, but I didnt lose a friend, I lost the only girl I have really loved in my life, the most beautiful girl I've ever seen (and the love of my life I think), whom somehow I had the luck to date being an ordinary guy. I didnt realize that being so greedy and annoying to others would only earn me enemies (besides making me dumb and like everybody else for the rest of my life). She started to avoid me because that actitude and to top that, a really ingenious gossip from said enemies involving us finished any chance I had left with her... In second place I would also re-do my career decision, but its not that bad.

EDIT: In fact, I think this is the origin of my obsession with time travel and paralell universes, most of my threads are about this.

@ Alejandro: No worries dude, now Lady Gaga is singing songs about you.

hmmmm. I can't think of a single thing that I would redo. Each of the "bad" decisions in life have really resulted in something better happening to me. For example: If I would have tried harder in school, and possibly went on to college and secured a better paying job, I would not have met my wife (and that would have sucked). Also, I may have been making more money, but I may have been more miserable or had a whole mess of other problems. It's really hard to say what I would change for fear of what WOULD change.

I guess, in short, I like things just the way they are.

I wouldn't dare change a thing, I could well be dead in other timelines. Saying that, I do have one massive regret. Her name was Nadine, and I should have never let her go!

5h1t happens... invariably.

I try not to regret things from my past and dwell on them, I instead try to learn from my mistakes and look to the future, most of the time if you really want to and are willing to put the effort in then mistakes from the past can be rectified. I suppose if I had to choose something it would be that I never started smoking cigarettes, I have stopped smoking now since the new year but I can't help wishing I had never started so I would have never had to go through the last month of nicotine detox.

despite all the horrible, horrible things i've done... i'd have to say nothing. really. i firmly believe that everything that has happened in my life has happened ultimately for my good, and without which, i would not be where i am today... and i wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
