Yes, this is my first fanfiction I'm publishing, so any kind of response good or bad (I love beneficial criticism). I want to have every state have at least one entry, but feel free to leave request on any historical entries you may want to see. Also, for the sake of the story, I am not going to type the entries in any ascents and although I'm not too confident in my spelling/grammar I will be using proper English grammar for ALL the states (to the best of my ability).

Sorry for the rant (I can't shut-up when nervous, even in writing).

P.S. Just to make sure I get every state at least once I will be doing the first fifty in the order of which they entered the union. Alright time to shut-up.

Dear Dairy,

I wish everyone wasn't wild all the time, I mean I wouldn't have to be serious all the time if everyone else could just act their own age. I'm not half the stiff people make me out to be, in fact I can be pretty fucking childish when I know everything is organized and everyone can act at least somewhat mature, but because every other state wants to act like they're three, I the older sister model will have to set a strict example. Well of course some states can act mature but I must have ended up with the loudest neighbors in the whole freaking union.

New York is to my north and god-bless him, but I can practically see his ego from my front porch.

Then I have New Jersey to my east and it's like I can hear her inconsistent non-stop talking in my ear while writing this… GOD WHY DOESN'T SHE SHUT UP!

Luckily Delaware is to my southeast and he's not hard to put up with. At least I can have a decent conversation with him, though he's not much of a talker. But even so I consider him both my best friend and brother (even if not technically by blood).

Then there is the biggest drama queen in the Mid-Atlantic region, Maryland, to my south. Man she never quits whining and complaining, she hates getting her hands dirty with anything, and over reacts about everything! God, how can someone so smart be so… melodramatic. She's not so bad when she's not acting like such a little drama queen all the time, but she's ALWAYS acting like a drama queen! Always in everyone's business seeing if she can get an ear full of the latest gossip to rise up out of whatever, most likely lying mouth.

Next there is West Virginia to my southwest, whom needs to learn how to sit the fuck still and shut up!

Then Ohio's to my west, god she's just so spacey! Would it kill her to focus on something? I don't know how many times I've had to tell her to pay attention to what she's saying and she just zones out. She's not dumb either she's just so… jeez.

Then to my northeast there's Ontario, Uncle Canada's kid. He tends to get rowdy sometimes. Although he's nice enough I consider him a good friend.

Although I must not be exactly the easiest person to get along with either, It's pretty well known that I'm a bit old fashioned. I don't exactly keep up with the latest trends or coolest gadgets as much as other states, because I don't see the point in having a different phone every week or the latest flashy trend off the runway.

I can be short tempered and very stubborn (something I probably picked up from Uncle Ludwig), but overall I'm just a simple person, who likes the simple things in life. Like watching the sunrise, a nice walk through the woods or a Hersey's chocolate bar, just small little simple things.

Personally I think people who appreciate the simple things are much happier than those who don't, because while others will constantly be chasing after their happiness, mine is right outside my window.
