If those were my options I'd totally give it to a friend, but tbh I'd rather give it to an enemy.
I have no desire to relive childhood, I don't think it could possibly have been made any more pleasant for me but it wasn't something I would voluntarily go back to without some excellent reason, and I don't think I would do any better next time.
If they get a parent swap there are some friends I would happily hand it out to, but if it's just a do-over in general I'd rather give it to someone I didn't like - after all, they might turn out better next time!
(hi guys, it is Procrastination O'Clock here, where I bury my head in the sand and try not to do anything worthwhile for a month or so in order to recharge - I am still available for doing minor useful things but given I now have three Possible Major Projects that people are failing to get back to me about, I don't have any Major Planning Space or amazing reserves of cope right now)

Date: 2010-05-25 02:21 pm (UTC)From:Some of my friends suffered quite badly from parental abuse / neglect which has left them with lasting problems and so I don't think it would be insulting to hand them a 'try again with a different set of parents' card, though...
As for memory opportunities, it's less great than you think. Especially for something like 9/11, no-one would believe you. What proof do you have?
Most people's memories are actually pretty vague when you come down to it - I don't feel like I could prove I had memories of the future by making a few minor predictions / knowing things which haven't become public yet, and I don't see why anyone would believe me if I started trying to say some things were going to happen / prevent events from taking their course.
About the only thing I might be able to do is make a modest profit on the stock market, and I suspect I would have to do some quite specialised information gathering before activating my going-back-in-time powers to even manage that.
