Well, or some sort of personal information that only you would know. Maybe even details about something that would happen on a certain day.

If my world isn't too dissimilar to this one, maybe I could even name the hoaxes as they come in :D
 
Chris

This just wont work - unless you come before the present time and I will not be in that present as I am in this present.

If today I give you a catch phrase for me now, which I could easily do and you come along in two weeks and say it to me that proves nothing. If you came along two weeks ago and said it to me - well that never happened - not in my timeline!

Just to be sure I am sending you my catch phrase to see if my memory changes!

SFW

Chris - assuming you do get back, do you think it's likely you'd get back on the same day that you left? I'm just wondering what would happen if you arrived back about a month after you'd left, or something...how would you explain to everyone where you'd been?
 
Chris

According to your first post it was March 7th. So a little over six months.

My theory is that the older you is a keep-up-appearaces version. Just imagine how your parents would react if one day they came in to wake you up for school or something and you weren't there. You'd be a missing person faster than you can say "It's 2004!" This way, you're friends and family don't freak out because you suddenly disappeared. Also this way, when you arrived you had some place to stay and someone you knew to help you. I think this goes beyond a fluke of nature. My opinion is someone do this for some reason. I can't remember if this has been mentioned before but have you ever seen "Disney's The Kid" with Bruce Willis? In the movie, a younger version of character is transported through time and meets his older self (Bruce Willis). In the end, they help each other out and find out that an even older version of them was the one who sent them through time. This sounds a lot like your problem. It might turn out that the someone who time traveled you is you just even older (or it might even be the present older you- could be why he doesn't tell you much and technicially he wouldn't be lying when he said he never time traveled) and he knew that you would need the help of your older version. Maybe you should try (if you haven't already) asking very clearly, "Are you the one responisable for my jump through time?" or "Do you know who is responisable for my jump through time?"
But, I agree that you have some reason for being here. Even if it is to learn that you have the abiliity to tt and need to hone it.

Well, I had a talk to Chris. As usual he didn't have much to say on the matter. I quite clearly asked him to tell me what he knew about my time jump to the present, and he just didn't have any new information. I feel guilty for suspecting myself, as I don't see why he would even think about doing something this risky, and burdening on himself. Big question also is why he would do something like this? Especially to himself, if he did bring me here he must've realised how much pain and suffering this would cause me. Imagine being stuck on the opposite side of the world, with no hope of catching a plane or boat back to the people you love and care about, and the things you're used to. Multiply that feeling by 10 and I think you know what I felt like. At least I have him to relate to. Anyway enough of my sob story. I'm fine now thats what matters :)

My mind keeps going back and forth, now I believe it was one of those flukes of nature while before I thought that someone had brought me here. I find it hard to believe that I have some purpose. It just isn't me, I don't usually have purposes. Maybe I do have some sort of 'power' which allows me to travel and I was able to harness it that night.

I still have a niggling doubt that I'm in a coma, and none of this is actually happening :P Although that seems ridiculous.

When I first came to this board (and the previous, offline one) I saw many other time travellers. Some I believed were plain hoaxers, but others I did believe came from another time. Now it seems so many have been disproven... I feel alone in my experience. It's rare enough to time travel, and ever rarer to be from the past. Padraic was a hoax, but he was from the past, which gave me some sort of hope that I wasn't a complete fluke. Maybe I was after all.

EDIT: Sorry Doc, totally missed your post!

Thats a tricky question. If I told them the truth I might be up for a psyche evaluation! :P I could always say I just don't know. Or that I was kidnapped, and I don't know by who.

I just thought of something! If the older me did not arrive back on the same day, maybe a few months later, then he would've had to make up an excuse. I'm wondering if I should go check the newspaper records past June 1993 to see what happened after I left. Maybe he isn't telling me the whole truth and he had to make up an excuse about his whereabouts? I can't believe I didn't think to check the newspapers at the library beforehand!

If I had to make up some form of excuse I would just claim I had no idea. It would be the simplest thing to do.
 
Chris

I'm not sure if this has asked before but can you and your other self stand side by side and take a digital camera picture, it would be interesting to see your older/younger self together.
 
Chris

Oh If I could count the times that has been brought up.. :P

Chris and I share the same feelings on the matter, that we don't want a picture of us up on the web. Can you imagine what would happen if the media got to it, and found such a great story? Or if people from 1993 come across it and starting a lot of questions? Even if I didn't mind, I'm fairly sure he would.

So sorry, no pictures. I'm fairly sure this just incriminates me further but please try to understand where I'm coming from.
 
Chris

Chris i doubt the media would think much of it honestly , identical twins and lookalikes happen all the time and you don't see the media jumping on the identical twins bandwagon saying one of the two is a human clone lol.

Anyway i can't remember anything really big in 1993 , maybe the world trade centre bombing attack but thats about it , maybe someone in America knows about the cyclones etc of that country?
 
Chris

Shouldn't be concerned with events in America, I live down under mate :)

Still, a photo plus this whole story could attract unnecessary attention towards us two, me. Besides its up to him mostly, and as long as he says no then it won't happen.
