Titled "Light Jak Community", but commonly referred to as LJC, our forum is a nice place to be for veterans and newcomers alike.

Originally formed by the founders of a group from the Jak 3 board called the faceless family, LJC has developed into something interesting and unique. While originally focusing on the Jak and Daxter series and other games and systems, LJC now has discussion on a variety of subjects, such as movies, TV, music, politics, web/game "culture", artwork, fan-fics, sigs, and more.

Our main focus, however, is on creating a great community experience, and therefore, our biggest topics are actually focused on the members: things we've done recently, things we like and dislike, how we feel about certain issues, and other general socialization.

You don't need to be an expert at games or the Jak series or anything, for that matter, to like our site. If you're interested in any of the above topics, come on over and check us out! If you like it, join! The more members we have, the better LJC will be!

PM me for the link if you're interested. Thanks! :D

I didn't even know that GS/GF Universal accounts worked for TV.com too! So... does this login work for all CNET sites or what?

I bet my mom feels really old! I'm 18, technically an adult, and my brother has been alive for two decades! Anyway, happy birthday, Andy. Not like you'll see this anyway. :P

So yeah, lately, Jose (my roommate) and I have been playing Super Mario World together on my emulator, and I must say, I never realized how much I loved this game. Ah.. it brings me back to the days of my youth, when I was free of responsibilities or cares... Well, that was just freaking redundant!

Anyhoo... if you have old SNES games, or games from other old consoles, for that matter, I suggest going back and playing them again. You might have a new-found appreciation for them when all is said and done. :)

I made it to Fredonia. So I'm in college now. Hehe... I was actually feeling quite homesick at first, but now that I'm settled in, it's better. I've met some new friends, kept in contact with the old ones, and I'm doing just fine. And my roommate Jose says that i'm good at composing music and that I should audition in November to become part of the school of music. Hehe... we'll see.

Anyway, my classes include: Intro to the Performing Arts, Visual Basic .NET, Philosophical Inquiry, Moons and Planets, Science and Civilization, and a liberal arts seminar called The FORCE is With You (yes... it's about Star Wars :P).

So yeah, I'm having a pretty good time so far. Not much homework yet, so that's good. And I have plenty of time to decide on a major, so yay! :D

I'm jobless. So sue me. Hopefully I'm not ill-prepared for college because of the fact that I've NEVER had a real job before. (I haven't even been a prostitute!) I've always wondered, though, how does one alleviate boredom if not with a job?

Friends? - I have a few good ones, but not enough to be hanging out ALL the time.
Family? - Hell no. I like my dad, but my mom is an overbearing female dog at lot of the time.
A hobby? - I play games sometimes... and watch TV... and movies. That's about it.
Religion? - LOL! Can't stand it. I'm not the type of person who believes he's always right and everyone else is wrong, so I'll pass.

I wish I had a vacation. My dad and I spent a day going hiking at Stony Brook State Park right here in New York State. But that's not enough. I need to get away! I want to have "fun in the sun", however suggestive that may sound. But that hasn't happened at all this year. I guess I just have to try to hang out with my friends more, but that's difficult, since they all have jobs. Anyway, I'll spare you all from any more of this agony. Just wanted to update this again.

Am I too immature to go to college?

This is what I was asking myself on the way to my college orientation at Fredonia State in Fredonia, NY (near Buffalo). I've never had a job, nor have I been very socially outgoing and such. I have feared that certain things about me will not allow me to fit in, and that I will not be able to cope with the transition emotionally. But when I got there, my opinion changed. I really do have the ability to be outgoing, to talk to people, and to have them like me, and I was just never able to do these things in high school. The whole college atmosphere was so much more laid back, so much more accepting. Granted, there will always be stupid asses who can't accept other people for who they are, but those aren't the people that matter. I instantly felt at home there, and while it was still awkward at first to meet new people, I pulled through and had a great time. I know I'm going to love it there. The classes will be harder, and the work load will be more intense, but I'll manage. I no longer think of high school as the best four years of one's life, but rather college as the best time in one's career as a human being.

Sorry for the almost deranged deepness of all that, but I just wanted to make it blatantly obvious that I feel better now. :P

Alright... I changed the name of my journal yet again. Apparantly, some people can't take a joke. If you guys somehow find this one dirty or offensive, then you do have dirty minds...

Anyway, w00t, summer and such! But I need a job. Any suggestions for a great job to try? :P

Sounds very suggestive, eh? Well, it means "Can You Understand/Appreciate Alpal?" Live with it, yo. :P

Anyway, I just wanted to use this entry as a place for people to comment and tell me how they're doing. There's quite a few people from GS that I rarely, if ever, talk to anymore, and I just wanted to catch up with some people. So, feel free to leave a comment and tell me how you're doing!

As for me, I'm doing well. Senior year is over, and I'm finally going to be going to college. I still have a couple exams left, but I'm not too worried about them. The only bad thing for me right now is that it's freaking hot here! :P

Wow... I am so glad now. The past few months have just been a roller coaster ride of emotions for me, and now, things seem to finally be getting resolved. As some of you know, my dad was diagnosed with thyroid cancer last month. Well, he was at first, but then in follow-up appointments, they told him they were unsure whether or not it was cancer, but there was a tumor on his thyroid.

Anyway, after a long wait, my dad finally had his surgery yesterday. And good news... he got threw it just fine. :) I was so happy. Apparantly, the tumor was about the size of a walnut. They need to do more testing on it to fully determine whether it is malignant or not. The surgery consisted of the removal of my dad's entire thyroid, and after they took it out, they said that the tissue around it looked good, so that's a good sign. Anyway, no matter what the tests conclude, I am going to be positive about this situation, and I'll cherish every moment with my dad even more now.
