Hello, I have to apologize about not updating this in just about forever, but a lot of rather unfortunate events have happened in recent weeks and had a bit of a health scare, after my road trip, and ended up in the hospital.

After I got out I ended up moving out of state and my moving truck got robbed, they didn't take much but they did get my laptop. My laptop with all my writing files on it, including the 32 state diary entries I had written. Luckily the insurance company replaced my laptop, however all my writing files are gone. I thought about just not picking it back up and giving up on the states all together, but quitting just isn't my style. So here I am… completely starting all my hard work over… excuse me while I sob in the corner.

Well here's Georgia. (Yeah, I know most OC's have Georgia as a girl but looking back on its history and having been there a few times myself, Georgia struck me more as a very kind boy). So I actually wrote this a while back and have just been waiting for an opportunity to post it, and I just kind of changed the date and here it is.

Georgia's basic personality: He is one of the sweetest boys you'll ever meet; he always wants the best for everyone but doesn't always get what's really the best for everyone. Overall he's just a kind-hearted boy who's a bit too stubborn for his own good.

Dear Diary,

Goodness that still sounds so girly, maybe I should start saying journal or something more like that. Nah, doesn't really matter nothing the matter where all the same on the inside. Although diary kind of makes me sound like some giddy school girl that's about to write about stupid things that people complain about even though there is no real need to complain about them. Should I say something else? What else in the good world am I supposed to say? Whatever, who really cares about that kind of stupid thing anyway.

In other, more important, news I'm so mad! I could just about to blow a gasket! Or rather I was, a little while ago. I got in trouble with Al for getting in a tousle with Florida, again. But in my defense he was completely asking for it messing with my peaches. I mean come on you don't just mess with a man's peaches.

And another thing I don't think it's very fair that I get in trouble for fighting, I mean it's kind of what I was born to do, not that I'm doing a ton of fighting now a days. But I mean seriously come on I was born to be a strong hearted fighter for the purpose of keeping Spain out and away from all the other colonies. Getting in trouble for fighting with Florida too, I mean I've been fighting with Florida since just about birth, he was part of Spain, it's like a second nature.

A good fight never hurt anybody. Florida and I have been good for years now we just like to mess with each other for kicks. It's all good at the end of the day. Al is just paranoid about us states fighting. Then again we've given him some good reasons to, in the past.

Well it felt nice to let off some steam. But I swear if not just Florida but anyone messes with my peaches EVER again, at ANY time, or anyone else's peaches for that matter, they'll have to answer to ME! Although Al let us off pretty quick (but he's never really been the serious father-figure type) he gave us an earful, but Al's lectures aren't nothing compared to England's when he was in charge. Anyway I got home pored myself a cold glass of Coca-Cola and got myself a few fresh peaches. After that I was feeling mighty fine.

Other than that though, everything is just about fine and dandy. Everyone seems to calming down from the recent events going on and with the economy still kind of sucking, to the point that everyone is just about driven up the wall. I hate seeing everyone so stressed out. It's just important to keep your head up because things will get better, they always do.

Yet, I also think it's kind of bringing us all together. I mean even the damn Yanks seem a little (just a little) more bearable (Al would lecture me for hours if he ever heard me say that) but really I'm just playing around. Yank or not they're still family, in some way or another, and as unbearable as they can get, you got to love family. So, whether they like it or not, I love them all.

Jackson Jones, The State of Georgia

All Right I should probably start explaining these personalities and why I write certain things for certain states. I should have done that for the states/D.C. too, but I wasn't really thinking straight at the time so I'll put them in there next entries, whenever the hell that will be.

Georgia:

He refers to America as Al because he is one of the original 13 colonies, therefor America's brother not son.

When Georgia was first colonized, its purpose was to fight /defended against possible Spanish invasions and basically keep Spain from messing around with Britain's other colonies. Georgia's neighbor, the state now known as Florida, used to belong to Spain, so they fought a lot.

Georgia grows A LOT of peaches and is known for being VERY serious about the fruit.

The Coca-Cola Company, or factory, is located in Georgia.

Georgians are known for their optimistic and friendly attitudes.

Also in the last chapter there might be some concern with why D.C. is a young child. Well when I was thinking up D.C.'s character/personality the first thing that comes to mind is a businessman/ politician and I've seen a lot of these D.C.'s. However anybody that has ever been to D.C. knows it's like a freaking curious, so it seemed rather inaccurate. It's also a districted not a state so for him and a smart, hyper, and most of all American kid seemed like the best reasoning for our little capitol.
