Use my gained knowledge to ensure "certain events" do not happen, ensure "certain events" do happen, and acquire power.

Not apply to study computer science and software engineering. Other than that, not much really. The bad moments in my life make for good comedy material on account of how much Irish people like laughing at other people's misery. Probably helps us forget how fucked we are as a country and that we'd be lucky to sell our houses for a copy of Timecop and a Curly Wurly.

can I ask what you're doing now or what you would have done?

Fix my life at that point. That would be such a blessing.
I would use this approach. I would get in shape, actually work up the nerve to ask that girl out, who knows my life could be completely different.

Well, I'm assuming I would have the guitar skills I have now, so that would be cool. I would also know that in the future I get cancer, so I can go to the doctor and get them to watch me so I can possibly prevent it. I would also go to all the concerts that I missed during that time, including the last Nine Inch Nails concerts.

I would also pretty much get a redo of indoor drumline, which would be cool since that was fun. My band director decided we weren't doing it anymore...which is fine because I can't do it this year anyway but it still kinda sucks...

Two years? It's called 'Winning the Lottery'.

Congratulations, my life is fixed.
Fuck yeah, Back to the Future style!

Y'know what? Bump that date back about 4 more months so's I can not fuck things up with the love of my life, and I've got all I need there. The only massive, life changing positives that happened to me in the last 2 years were a)becoming a dad and b)being accepted into the same acting school that taught my idol, so let me get back with the girl I want to be with and I can pick it up from there. We'll even have a kid of our own to appease the space-time continuum gods.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
Having to do all the school work, not to mention the possibility that I may not meet my current crush, or if those two years were all a dream I'd have worse knowledge than wikipedia.
So generally just FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Probably make myself play more harmonica more often.

Also, slap myself silly and get it through my thick skull that that one girl won't be worth it 2 years from now.

I need to pay attention to lottery numbers just in case this happens to me. So I can literally win the lottery.

I would...cry. Because of all the horrible events coming my way in 2009, and how my heart would have to break a second time to lose certain people in my life. I would know of how my future turns out with the woman I love now, but I would have to relive all the pain again, and I'm not sure I could do that twice. :/
But think how many more great people you know who can help you get through it :)

I am not saying that makes up for it. I am just saying it could be a silver lining >.>

I'd be pissed right off, the last 2 years of my life have been nothing but saving up money to afford to go back to school. Simply going back 2 years would be a nightmare unless I happened to remember any details that would be useful (winning teams, lottery, etc..) which I don't.

For one, I would prevent the worst thing that has ever happened to me from occurring, which would then mess up the time-line, and all that good stuff. But mostly that. Oh, and be incredibly bored because I didn't get my XBOX until after my birthday in April that year. But be excited because I know I'm getting an XBOX. So would I be incredibly depressed knowing my life would change forever that summer, or be incredibly depressed that I don't have an XBOX...but on the plus side, I would be the best MW2 player on live my first day playing it =P

Not screw up my public international law exam. Start my undergrad dissertation earlier. Get it done before Christmas. Probably fail to do that. But most importantly, find an internship the next summer, then plan ahead and find a job before I graduate from college. Goddamit, there are so many things I would do over.

Of course, that would also mean never sinking a huge amount of time into Fallout 3, Mass Effect 2, and Dragon Age Origins. Ahhhhhh, choices.

Yeah, like others I'd bet on a bunch of sports games (I don't remember any winning lottery numbers other then the one that is very close to the number on "lost"...and that wouldn't happen for 2 years!!).

I would need the money.

Why?

Two years with no new games? Two freaking more years till Diablo 3 comes out? Talk about being bummed. I'd need serious cash to keep myself occupied for 2 years (I mean there are quite a few games I have not played and have backlogged so it wouldn't be torture....but still not a great thing).

If I got enough money perhaps I could donate a ton to Blizzard and ask them to pay more people to work on Diablo 3 and speed up how fast it gets released (maybe even get them to allow me to playtest it as well).

Other then that I'd try to warn areas that are going to have large scale disasters and tell all my friends to sell their homes asap etc (actually not sure if I would be in time for that).

I would also stop at getting my Bachelors degree. I've spent the last 2 years working on my masters and am just about to get it....and there is no FREAKING way I'm doing all that work again. I'd just get mega rich and use all my money to help prevent so many people losing their homes etc (probably giving them loans etc so they can pay their mortgages etc). With the knowledge I have I should be able to become richer then Bill Gates eventually and I'd spread that around....that might keep me occupied enough to not kill myself over the longer wait for D3.

Learn to study or learn more Spanish. I have a Spanish test tomorrow and am going to fail since I don't understand Spanish 4 anymore.

I would feel obligated to stop world tragedies, yet be stalled by my poor recollection of future current events. I would try as hard as I can to get relief for the Haiti disaster, but I doubt anyone would listen to me...
