This.
I would also make a name change to something different. There are hundreds of first names in Finland alone that are much better sounding than the one I'm currently forced to live with because of the parents' bad taste.

It's actually fun to be ugly. I would know.
Omnis could have said the same to me but I enjoy being an ugly bastard! I'm proud of it to an extent. The occasional zit or whatever sticks about 3 feet out of my chin or forehead and that is a pain. Literally!
Try talking to people about yourself and try and make them think that you love yourself and think you look "sexy," the horrified look on their face before they realize that you're not serious.
And don't forget to that hand flick thing with the eye flutter that the stereotypes all do, the "oh stop" when they tell you how ugly you actually are.Now, what on earth would I change? I complain about many things. Like my family getting on my nerves, but would I go back and have a different family? No, I love my family, even if we don't get along all the time. Hey, I even love my grandfather, who is so horrible, business owners have refused to work with anyone who is related to him. (Though the rest of my family isn't horrible, and do . My uncle drag races a Ford Cortina and is currently hitting low 9's (9.1, 9.2, etc) while maintaining a good family) I complain about my friends too but they are still friends and I wouldn't change them at all. Everyone annoys me but I wouldn't change a single person, except for maybe a few.
The things I would change are some of my problems with procrastination and laziness. I was meant to do a load of graphics work and english work over these holidays, and I was also meant to capitalize those subject names. I haven't done any of it. It took me about 7 weeks to get around to getting my vocal lessons sorted last year. And I still haven't started on my music composition piece. It's all piling up and I can't get anything done. It also would have been cool if I had bought that 1/18 Ford RS200 that popped up on Trademe a couple of years back.

Probably started playing GT earlier - or actually played the career. When I was younger I had a fear of playing the game properly because I thought that was for older kids. I never actually once played the career of GT4. ._.
That's about it really. Maybe I should've stayed at rugby a bit longer too. Once I quit that I just turned into a typical teen who didn't want to go outside or do anything apart from stay on the computer. I'm still like that now really. Now that I've joined army cadets though, I do have slightly more of a life. But not much.
EDIT: Oh, and tried harder to get Ken Block's signature at Rally GB last year. I have his signature now, but that's from Goodwood, and I never actually went, I just won the poster already signed.

Yes, exactly. That's the smarter thing to do. Personally I'd get myself a good 4x4 first.
Me too. Big old Ford 4x4 from the '80s.

I would have basically redone my entire childhood all the way up to seventh grade.

I would have avoided the relationship I had that was truly awful for 7 on and off years. It wasn't healthy and really did me in pretty good. I did end up with the right person though, I just wish I could have met them sooner and not went through all the other BS.
I would have probably done college a bit different, while I love anthropology, I probably should have only minored in it and majored in something like healthcare informatics. It's starting to work out for me now, but it was a rocky road to get there.
I would have made my car purchases better, probably wouldn't have bought the MINI and instead went for something a little nicer and that would have lasted longer. I do like my Focus but I would rather not have a car payment right now.
Past that I'm probably don't OK, there are some vacations I wish I would have took and some deal I wish I would have jumped on but there's quite a bit I did do and for that, I'm pretty happy.

Same here.
It's not that I made negative decisions in that time frame, I just wished it was better. If it was, it would just make some portions of my life a bit more 'optimistic', so to say. I'm actually very jealous of how each person I met has a good life, since they are all so calm and amusing, where nice things always happen to them. But for me and my family, it seems little luck comes our way.

Only thing I'd change so far would be to be more outgoing.

Apart from the fact I probably should have capitalised more on some relationships way back when, there's not a lot I'd change about my life. I'd like to be doing a little better financially at the moment, but that's really an incentive to work harder in the future than it is to mope about changing things in the past...

I'm currently preparing to start from 'scratch'. I opted for voluntary redundancy in my former profession (engineering) and i'm now paying my bills by doing small volume engineering work and agricultural labouring.
My g/f is well settled into a stable full-time profession, which means that I can take my time in making sure the next choices I make are the right ones without having to worry too much about how much money i'm earning.
If anything, I wish that i'd joined the army with my mates straight from school. Now I have commitments and i'm not so sure that enlisting is the right move.

I'd want to look more after my eating habits, try and keep my weight much lower, and be a bit less socially awkward (during the primary and secondary grades at least). That's just about all I can think of which I'd really want to change

Yeah, even if I join up soon the U.K will already be out of Afghan by the time i'm fully trained, not sure if that's a curse or a blessing. It sounds strange to say it, but if I was a soldier i'd like to see combat at least once!
Most of my mates that are serving are single and I think that if I was single i'd already have signed up. It seems like the kind of lifestyle i'd enjoy, and there are plenty of jobs for ex-military guys over here too.

Navy. Nuclear Subs. Make good money on service. Make mega bucks on civvy street. Tough on relationships though (no communication plus base location).

I would choose one thing I was good at and keep practicing and getting better - even if I hated it.
At the end of the day though we can't go back in time. Better to do things now that contemplate in the future at what you could have done. For this exact reason I'm actually trying to learn stuff for quite possibly the first time in my life. Getting to know how the world works will be a huge advantage.

I would change the fact that I'm crazy and annoy everyone.
Also should've tried out karting when I was 5, kinda put off now.
