OT:
Dear myself, Circa 2005
DO YOUR FUCKING WORK, AND YOUR HOMEWORK.
Also, in May 2010, don't become best friends with that ex-coke head, you will regret it.
Much Love, me myself and I.
"Knuckle down and quit screwing about at school, sure you know it's all effectively pointless and you won't need to know any of this shit a week after you leave, but sadly people, especially employees WILL judge you on your results, and that'll affect everything. Sort out your eating habits, learn that salads won't actually kill you, and realise that you just don't need to keep buying shit to be happy."
Hell, this goes out to everyone. If you can't afford to buy something, just hold on, it'll get cheaper, and you'll get more money later. Loans and credit cards are just there to screw you over time and time again, and it's so easy for them to spiral out of control. If you're already in any kind of trouble, seek help now, before they pile on a ton more charges and fees and find new ways to bend you over.
You don't have to be tight or mean with money, just sensible, in fact, being sensible with your money means you've got more left over to do stuff with your friends and family

Okay, listen up, boy:
1. Just so you know, you are going to get a girlfriend. But it's actually pretty nice; see, she likes manga and has blue hair.
2. You know how you love that manga series, Paradise Kiss? Well, you're going to meet people as awesome as the people there for real. Also, you'll get to read the ending.
3. You know that book that Akira Toriyama based Dragon Ball on? It's really long, and extremely good.
4. While there's nothing wrong per se with being a Christian, you really ought to either stop being one or at least get a better reason than "Mom raised me to be one".

Dont eat the soup!! Also, Dont ever tuck in your shirt, it looks dorky, don't even affiliate with that dude, he's just a shit head, dont go out with her, wont end well, dont wear your hair like that, looks dumb. I think that just about covers it.
teenage me: You, fat basterd, join the Handball team now. Not in 5 years idiot. Chicks will dig it!But keep up the theatre, you will love the confidence!
2007 me: hey dude its you again. Dont go to that University! You waste 1,5 years and only get to know 2 nice people. Take a job for half a year and go to the place you wanted to go at first, its awesome there and i/you/we love it. Oh and as soon as you can take Irish as third. You'll love that too and get some free flights every year.

Dear fifteen year old me:
You know that guy in Science who always sits next to you and follows you EVERYWHERE? Here's a piece of advice. When he hits sixteen and becomes amazingly good-looking (and trust me, I'm still trying to work out HOW), run as far away from him as you can. There are other boys who have cars. There are other boys who turn out to look like Tobey Maguire when he was appealing. DO NOT STOP. RUN NOW.
Also, since you won't screw up your senior year by dating him, you will be able to concentrate on school and work more. Here's a tip - start saving now. Actually, please do. By the time you are twenty-four, you will have a die-hard obsession with Bon Jovi (I mean, more than you do now). You will set your heart on going to Dublin to see them again. You can do it, but you'll need to save like a demon.
By the way, science isn't THAT great. Go study video games instead. Forget about the creative writing degree. You'll get your literary contract at 23.
That's about it, really. Oh, btw. Stop falling for guys at work. It never works out.
Yours, Me.

I'd probably spam myself with the message:
''You'll regret saying/doing that, so don't''
Btw, is there a limit to the ammount of messages I can send? I need to send this one a lot XD

Age 13: "Do NOT ask for World of Warcraft for your birthday. It will eventually lead to you showing your best friend. He will get addicted, play it non-stop, meet some 35 year old psycho in California who has a kid, and by the end of your senior year he'll move to California to live with her and you'll likely never see him again. Take a high school programming class."
Age 16: "Don't be a moron and ask her out on the day she gets in a fight with her ex-boyfriend. More importantly, man up and ask her out in person, don't leave a note in her locker. Also, don't pursue the cute, nerdy girl who plays video games. Keep her as a friend, (that's all you would be during the 10 days of that relationship anyways). Also, GET A SUMMER JOB FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DON'T."
Age 18: "Western is a great school and you'll meet a lot of really really cool people. If you have any second thoughts about Computer Science after the first semester, change your major. But still give CS a try, you will meet some of your best friends through that program. Don't fuck around your freshman year either, or by the end of it you'll have a bit of a mental breakdown and it'll all go to shit. Sign up for an early orientation time or all the good classes will be gone and your schedule will suck. Just do your homework. Also, call your parents more often."

To high school me (17/18):
*Remember those 'good friends' you have? Fuck 'm...they're ass holes who laugh at you behind your back. Stop listening to them, stop taking their shit, ditch them and stop caring about what other people think about you. *Give up on water-polo now! We both know you hate the game by now, and it will save you some massive scars on you back. *Convince mom and dad to get that bass-guitar asap! Don't make us wait until we're 23 again :,(
oh and ps: don't worry, you won't stay single forever
Sincerely,
Future you (25)

There would be some major other things I could warn myself for...but then I probably wouldn't be the same person now and also the good things I have now, would not have happened, so I have to take some bad with the good I think.

Joker,
Try not to drink so much in the future. And prepare yourself now - life is going to suck. If you go to war, your life will change forever. The love of your life will not survive, but do not let that stop you because being with her was the best thing that will ever happen to you. So make it count and kick some ass in the field.
Regards,
Future Joker
