It's all relative Tuesday, MKF 10/01/02

[friskylez]

I didnt see a daily thread yet, so i thought what the hell, ive been in a reflective mood these days, ill pose a reflective question

If you could change one thing from your past or one thing about your life, would you change it and if so what would you change?

I think Willow would change what happened the nite Tara came by to give her Entropy speech..She probably would have told Tara that they need to take that "time"...

More than likely Tara and Willow wouldnt have gotten back together that nite and Tara, perhaps, wouldnt have been at the house the day Warren shot Buffy..

I dont know what i would change..On the one hand, the things that have happened to me have made me a stronger, person..On the other hand, would things have been better
for me had those things not happened..

I dont really know..Its all relative...

See, what I think that Willow would change is that they wouldn't have gotten out of the bed at all.

What I would change about my life is something that I have no control about.

I think Willow would probably change the forget spell she did on Tara. Maybe she would listen to Tara about the magick and they might not have broken up at all.

Wow...that's a really hard question...I guess there's a lot of things I'd change in my life, but they're all little things. So I don't think I'd change anything really big. I'm terrified of change...It's something I'm working on...
About Will and Tara, Willow would definitely change something to avoid "the great tragedy"...we would all thank her for that...

[La]

I don't know that there's really anything I want to change. Everything that has happened to me has made me who I am today, changing that might change the person I've become and then I'd be someone entirely different! and isn't that a weird thought ... along the lines of "what if my mom HAD married the guy that first asked her to marry him instead of waiting for him to get back from Vietnam and meeting my dad during that time instead ..."

[Zahir al Daoud]

I've lived ong enough to have a long, long list of regrets. As for things I would actually change--mostly little stuff like exactly when to answer certain emails or not double-ckecking the price of something.

Willow could probably think of a thousand little things she'd like to see happen, but the easiest by far is that Warren's gun misfired.

Well, a month or so ago at a pub, I ordered pasta for dinner, and if I could go back, I think I would get a sandwich instead. Maybe a chicken sandwich. Or maybe the one with hummus.

[Puff]

My philosphy teacher did a whole rant on the 'everything is relative' phrase. There's an hour of my life I don't get back. Something I want to change about the past year? I'd have ducked a bit better 2 weeks ago

Humm, good point. Pasta is a bad thing to eat out. With the sauce and the possible slurping and the whole [i:aa8a20b81a] Im so stuffed I cant move[/i:aa8a20b81a] theme that follows but I have eat-out-phobia, so it's probably not appliable.

I have mountains of regret but nothing I would actually change well, except maybe for speaking up in my sisters wedding. Ugh, I mentioned that she makes a lot of money in front of all her guests... and now she hates me. Manners. Got none. *nods* Im a twit.

[MadeinNZ]

I have lots of regrets (its regetapalooza here) but only one thing I'd probably change. There's a relationship in my past that I would want to go a whole lot differently. Enough said.

[tommo]

Me? I'd have erased the last 12 months.

No, actually the last 18.

[Thespia]

Ditto, MadeinNZ. And what would I change about this past relationship? Hmm... I would've made it into a relationship and not have run like I was running from hell. When I wanted in, she wanted out. Really love her, though. I do. She's my everything.

[MadeinNZ]

I know what you mean Thespia. In my case, I wish the relationship never got started. The fallout from it will always be complicating my life.

[Thespia]

I know the way some relationships can really complicate our lives; but from where I stand, having had that relationship would be so much better... Of course, if I had, maybe I would be feeling as you are now... See, it's really complicated!

Best Wishes for you. I hope it all works out fine.

[MadeinNZ]

Thanks matey. You too.

(Edited to add: apologies for the use of the word 'mate'. Its a kiwi thing. I can't help it. Its how I talk.)

[theatremouse]

i'm not sure..... i think i'd either not have broken up with my last girl, or i wouldnt have started the relationship at all, and wouldve waited, because that was kinda a disaster, and it sucked a lot, and we lost a lot of time because of it, and just because i wouldve liked to have done it differently so it couldve lasted. so either not gone down that road when we did, or, not ended it and tried to let itself work it out and continue, and be more mature. we were way to fricking young to deal with each rightly in that way.... yeah. one of the two. or both.
peace out.

[Kalita]

Oh, dear, I have too many things to put on this list.

I'll settle for something current: I'd've upgraded my computer earlier than this past month. I upgraded 'cuz I HAD to, because the frelling thing was self-destructing. And I'm still bouncing back from THAT fiasco.

Anyone notice I wasn't online last night? Thank my friendly metal box.

[Taz]

I wouldn't change anything. I think that changing one event changes everything else. I would have hated not meeting my gf because, I decided not to go away to college or hearing Maya Angelou speak because I to not go to school that day.

Willow probably firmly now believes that somedays you just shouldn't get out of bed.

[twink]

not sure what i'd change. i do stupid stuff all the time and feel like a complete moron later. but i think that's more of a character trait than anything else.

i don't think willow would have changed her acceptance of tara's getting back together offer. just that they should have gone to the basement and had some nice "quiet" (or not so quiet) time together.
