I made Zaphod Beeblebrox fanart! :D

I want to have a second childhood. No, I don't mean like what adults do at their midlife crisis. I am perfectly capable of acting like a kid right now if I want to. What I mean is that I want to be reborn, in a city this time, to a low income family, and I want to have several younger siblings and I want to get in fights with them and my friends at school and I want to be teased and backstabbed and I want to get drunk and make out with strangers in the back of a car and I want to be rejected from my college of choice and I want to go to a state college and meet all the punks and frat boys and the drama people. I want to make all the mistakes that I never made and no longer have the opportunities to make. And then I want this second childhood to merge with my first one, with me, right now. And together, in one head, we will be perfect, and we will rule this world, because we will have twice as much experience as anyone else, with the wisdom of the first me and the passion of the second me.

Perhaps the other me is already out there, waiting for me to find it and merge with it. Maybe these things are called significant others. Maybe not.

But first I need to come up with a party name. Something that can top even the "Green Rainbow" party of my home state... Okay, I've got it. The "Love Nazi" party. We'll use Heartband Revolution as our mascot.

At first you had me hitting my head saying "fuckthewhat?" but then I began to think I actually understand what you mean. due to recent events I've been shown what it really means to value ones own life path, and the wisdom it brings. And by recent events, I mean Emily, if you've been reading my journal. She's opened my eyes in many ways. Together we may just rule this world.

If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.

So I just re-read this post. And I decided to tell you if indeed you want what you say... ;) -its totally not too late to do most of those things!

You totally still have time to go to a state school, join a frat, get drunk, make out in the back of a car... Granted you could technically somehow do this at any age (IE: go to school when you're 40) but you're the right age right now that it wouldn't be extraordinary (which would influence the circumstances and make it "not part of a second/different childhood"

Man, I feel like Morpheus in the matrix offering the pill to Neo... except not quite that dramatic at all.

It's not the same if you're doing it intentionally. I'd always know that I could stop at any time and go back to being an adult.

I do, however, intend to do adventurous things as an adult. ^_~

But if you were the alternate you doing these things - wouldn't you be doing them entirely on purpose? Fair enough though, I think you want it to be based on "your true personality"? Which you wouldn't be able to do with your you right now because those things are not representative of your true personality?? I think I've had the ability to act grown up since at least the time of highschool.

No, no, that would screw it up. I want someone who is unsatisfied with what the world has given them, not someone who is intentionally throwing away opportunities.
