I would have used an inductive, rather than capacitive, tap on that drug dealer's phone.  A little more line noise, but very little back-coupling.

I'd be very excited for school the next day.

I'd apply lessons I learned in high school to bullies in elementary.

I wouldn't have walked out on my cardboard stacking job. I wouldn't have got referred to the local mental health unit as my mother worked there and ended up giving up a job she loved so I could go there. I would have stayed with my one and only ex (who I think also had ADHD and liked a drink) and possibly had kids.

I'd be happy because I'd just got married.

But my daughter wouldn't exist and probably never would because the chances of that sperm and egg meeting at the right time would probably never happen.

I'd be ecstatic. I'd be just in time to take my GCSEs again, not get sexually abused in my first job, then make more of college and university.

I would be four years old and playing my old Sega Genesis again. My younger brother would still be in the womb and wouldn't be born 'til the end of April. I wouldn't be looking forward to kindergarten next year because if I recall, I failed kindergarten and the word ret*d had been stuck with me years after.

Oh god, don't make me go through this hell again. Being sent to a group home for people with chronic mental illness, being on outdated medication that caused awful anxiety and other side effects, and not being diagnosed with Asperger's until 2001 when I almost became a psychopath from the constant stress. Yeah, almost.

While young me is at school probably getting whooped due to bad advice from adult me, adult me is leaving a few rom hacks of NHL95 behind.

I'd be excited, because I'd get to achieve all the goals that I wanted to achieve. I'd take up psychology and become a psychologist. I'd be working with children. I'd make my life into what I wanted it to be, back than.

I would have been out of the British Army for a year, and made my way to Australia. I would go and see a psychologist and talk about why I always felt different, and hopefully get a diagnosis at 26, instead of 54. I would change mistakes I made and I would enjoy myself more.

Bloody hell, I'd have a newborn. I'd be sleep deprived from the baby and working two jobs. I'd be pissy. :lol:
