Just Some Thoughts from Orion :)

Hey all. Just want to say a few words :) Just wanna say that this place is great. Why? well not just because its a great Jedi Knight community..but for more than that.. This place can teach you some things about life. Well for example me being an American. I was never really opened to the outside world, outside of the states that is. You could call me a narrow minded American, but I would say yes to some extend but I was open to some thing outside of the States. Now how does this tie in to the JA you ask? Well I'll tell you. Coming to the JA i though it was just all American gamers.. then I hit up IRC and see people from all over. Just sitting on the IRC channel or on the server talking to people. You learn more about the world around you. making your self a better person, and expanding your knowledge, by learning from others. With this place it has made it possible for me to meet people from all over the world and other parts of the USA I will probably never get to see in my life time. From that I have also made some good friends from all over the world. :P To you I say thank you *tips hat to all*

Edit: Not saying all ppl are narrow minded, just trying to say how much i have learned from being here... i may change some wordiing.. it all sounded good in my head lol

of the pond....Yeah...guess you can call the ocean that. I think it's safe to say that around 50% here are non-Americans, maybe even more. The JA helped me through a really dark period 3 months ago and a couple of other times. The people here are caring and try to cheer you up. The funny conversations on IRC and the sometimes serious PM on the other side of that. This place just plain rocks.

ROCK ON!!!!!!! :D

I was kinda suprised by how many non-americans there are around here. It's always cool to get the view of the world from the other side fo the pond.

I've put the JA site on my resume. :D

Hmmm i have so many feelings on the JA! I absolutely LOVE this place! Orion you are right. I have learned so much from everyone here about other countries and also about RL situations. I found out the other day that there are people that have never even eaten a brownie before!! These are things we take advantage of here. Its almost an everyday expectancy for us! :D

Whenever i feel down, which has been alot lately, i can always count on the people here at the JA. I dont even mention my sadness because almost instantly im being cheered up just by the people and conversation that is being carried on here. It takes me away from my RL which is something i need to do for myself sometimes! :D

I have made ALOT of friends here and i care about you all greatly! Thank you all for everything! May god bless us each and every one! :D

when i joined the JA all i could do is lunge..and run around franticly in blue stance not even knowing there was 2 other stances.

Being here almost everyday for 2 years (with about 2 months of inactive due to internet problems) has helped me be a nicer,more helping,wiser,maturer and plus made some great friends and have grown to have worthy skills-here here to the ja!

May the force be with us!

JA has greatly conributed to my intellectual being... I would become less of what I am without this great KICK @$$ place... :eek::D

When you are told something for years, you learn to accept it. But, after the truth is revealed, you feel conufusion, isolation, and depression. Then you ask, where do I belong? I'm searching for that answer.

The JA has improved my English greatly (and pub servers my German :P), so I can't complain about its value in RL. :)
