I would go back to my cousin and convince her to get her boyfriend to tattoo me (I would have been a little more rock and roll instead of churchlady). Then I would go about year and a half back even further when I got to hang out with the Violent Femmes and I would have gone with them to New Orleans when they invited me - I was too chickensh*t at the time for fear that my police officer father would hunt me down.
Elvis and my great grandma. Elvis because...well...he was the king. and my great grandma because she was awesome and I would love to spend more time with her.
mmm. Not so much with the preventing death or the history.
I'd pick my my grandfather's youngest brother (KIA Italy) and my paternal grandfather. Both of them could splain a lot.
If I did go all history - I'd take Lady Jane Grey - duped, or conspirator? Also, Judas. Everyone picks Christ - but without Judas, he's still breathing, you know? (Well, not STILL....)
I would revisit my younger self, at age 19 and tell myself what has happened in the past 10 years, so that my younger self could either make the same choices or different choices.
My 2nd visiting wouldn't be a place, but a time. I would like to experience America during WWII. Maybe join the Navy as a Nurse.
Hemingway pre-1926 (just before "The Sun Also Rises)--for pointers, experience, insight, the chance to see him as a young man.
Larry Brown (Author of Joe, Fay, etc...passed away in November). Just to sit down and drink with him, listen to music, shoot the shit, and gain insight to his creativity.

I would to Paul Rickson (high school pal)and try and convince him not to commit suicide.
I would go back to myself on my first day of college and impart some knowledge regarding certain women I was to become entangled with.
I'd probably go meet some of my relatives that I didn't know (because I wasn't even thought of yet).
And maybe our buddy Adolf, so I can cap his ass early. Show him some modern day metal.

1) My mom (she died in late '02)
2) My long-time girlfriend from high school, to see if there was one more chance.

Wow, that's a tough one.
