We all remember how Jak in TPL couldn't speak, right? Jak could sigh, Jak could laugh, Jak could say 'ouch' but not talk.I believe this is due to damage to a section of the brain called "Broca's Area".

Broca's Area deals with speech motor and vocal output. A traumatic injury to this area would leave the person still understanding words, and communicating, but not speaking.

"Damage to this area... causes inability to say words properly. You know what you want to say, but you can't vocalize the words." -(Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 238)

"Depending on the severity of the lesion to Broca's area, the symptoms can range from the mildest type (cortical dysarthria) with intact comprehension and the ability to communicate through writing to a complete loss of speaking out loud." ([link])

"It contains the motor speech area and controls movements of tongue, lips, and vocal cords. Loss of speech may follow hemorrhage into this area."-([link])

Now I can hear people wondering aloud how Jak got mild brain damage back under control? Dark eco, chaos in a semi-liquid gaseous form. With it, anything is possible :3

Oh my gosh I can't wait til boot camp~! <3~!!

*shoots devart* Why? Why?!

Why am I thus banned from seeing mature marked pictures? Just because some poor pathetic scum out there isn't mature enough to handle a little nudity, you get to assume that all it is is pr0n?

Fuck you Devart, There's nothing wrong with exposed breasts or a little foreplay. Hell even quirky penis comics aren't terrible!

But just because I'm 16, you have to assume that I'm lowly and immature? Unable to handle it?

Fuck you. I'll show you immature you cocksuckers.

Mature content this.

It's funny, I only ever use this silly thing when I'm upset.

Vicious cycle is, no one ever replies, so I get more upset. Pathetic.

But I fell so.. betrayed.. I don't know why, I shouldn't expect you to care. I'm suprised we've ever conversed, but you still make me sad. You didn't have to leave. Maybe you didn't notice and maybe I take things too personal. But it hurt..

It really shouldn't, and I shouldn't need to subliminally bitch to or at my friends about it, but it does.

I'm sorry you put me in a bad mood. And I'm sorry I snarled at Edward for it.

I'm sorry I care too much about what you think, and I'm sorry that I'm so easy to ignore.

What I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry you hurt me. And I'm sorry that it matters.
