If I had a superpower, I'd totally want the ability to do the last twenty seconds over. Maybe THAT would stop my brain from playing the "Hey, one time when you were fourteen, you did this one thing that turned out REALLY BADLY. Let's remember it! In living colour! With the addition of the ability to know what went wrong, now that you have sixteen more years on this earth!" game. Also, it would be great, because then I could totally walk into meetings and make demands, and if they didn't work out the way I wanted (if, in fact, they seemed likely to end with my termination) I'd just do a reset!

It'd be even better than telepathy.

Also, it is raining like god himself is wroth at the earth. This makes me HAPPY.

1. Thank GOD I am not the only person whose brain does that.

2. D'you think it'd work? Or would we be stuck reliving the same piece of humiliation over and over?

3. Here: not raining. Hot. 80 degrees at 10am is not cool. So to speak. Hahahahahaha goes to look at weather.com. Which says it is 69 degrees and partly cloudy. *looks out window* Um, no.

The thought occurs that it would turn into that Star Trek: TNG loop episode, where the ship gets blown up or something, but there's a time shift every time, so they start planting things so they'll know that what they're doing is going to end badly, but I would like to reset knowing how it all went down and do something else, secure in the knowledge that no one else knew that it went badly. Or, even better, have the erroneous results fade from my mind - whatever it would take to NOT have those memories ambush me at odd times!

It was supposed to be 78 and sunny today, but...I don't think so. The first boom of thunder this morning set off like five car alarms in the parking lot, and it hasn't improved yet. It might not be RAINING, but it's grey as hell, and I don't think it's hot. It got so dark that the parking lot lights came on, in fact. Supposedly more thunderstorms are on their way, which is great.

I want that, too!

I'd totally go for that. There's also the gamer idea of going back to the last save point.

I once saw an AIM icon that showed the options of Web Browsers. "Back, Foreward, Stop... don't you wish they had these buttons in real life?"

Terry Pratchett uses it in The Thief of Time - the yeti can save their lives, get killed, come back with the memory of what went wrong, and do it over. *g* I like the idea a LOT. I would also TOTALLY like to have those buttons on my life.

My brain does the same thing to me. It's pretty evil.

I know that having made mistakes like that is the very reason why I know better now, but that doesn't stop my brain from beating me up for it.
