I'm half-Jill
Finding himself bored again, Jack has done yet another meme to pass the time seeing as how all the work outside is done and it's just going to be a blazing inferno outside today. So what better to do than fill out random, mostly useless things that may or may not melt your brain! All while having a ferret sleep over one shoulder and wake up only to sneeze on you. Ah yes, what better life can there be?

You mean you haven't heard of it? We call it "The Border War" every time Louis and I get together to play...well, pretty much anything.

"Miss Kaycee, ya got to remember I don't get out very much. The only thing that I think of is the Bleeding Kansas thing, and that's just 'cause I read about it."
no subject
Y-yeah, that was what started it...
Things were bad...very bad...back when I first became a state.
no subject
"Sorry. I shouldn'a said anything..."
no subject
I shouldn't let it bother me so much. It's not like Louis and I are still fighting anymore...at least not physically anyway. Besides I'm not alone anymore. If anything else were to happen today I have people I can rely on now, and that means a lot.
I'm sure we all have our scars. Mine are probably no worse than anyone else's here.
no subject
"Right. If it helps, any time Lou and I have fought, it was either really stupid or we were drunk. Just goes to show how pointless lots of it is. And yeah, yer right about the scars. We've all had weird pasts and there ain't much we can do about it."
no subject
I'm sorry for getting so serious. I'm sure we all have some happy stories to tell too. I guess it's just the bad things that stick out so much in our minds sometimes.
no subject
"Right. Like there's lots of good things that happened to me. Way more than bad things, that's for sure."
no subject
Really? What kind of good things?
no subject
He suddenly looks frustrated.
"Maybe it's one of those things where you can't think of the good things. Coming here was good. I know that for sure."

I love it when I have a good planting season...
2/2
I guess that's the problem with being farmers. The good times are usually the ones when there's nothing going on.
no subject
"Yeah, that's true. I couldn't think of anything else since everything just kinda seems routine for me. At least you can relate."
no subject
I was a little worried when I first got here. ...I wasn't used to so many people being around, and HQ seemed so...random.
But Matthew and Mikey were here, and then I met William and Sven, who are both very kind.
I'm glad I came now, even if I didn't really have a choice in the matter.
no subject
Then I got to see Lou, and met Will. Then I met you so it hasn't been too bad since."
no subject
It usually is very nice here...most of the time, but... why would you think you were obsolete at home?
no subject
He shakes his head and smiles.
"Hey, gotta quit being depressing, right?"
no subject
But farming is very important! Without all of us in the Corn Belt working so hard, the rest of the world wouldn't have enough food to eat. You, me, Mikey, Elijah,...and yes, even Louis...just because we may not be the flashiest of states, doesn't mean we're not just as valuable as everyone else.
[Proudly, she puffs out her chest a bit, pointing to herself.]
They don't call me "The Breadbasket of the World" for nothing, you know.
no subject
He grins looking much happier than before.
"Thanks Miss Kaycee. You cheered me up quite a bit."
no subject
[She grins along with him. It is infectious after all.]
I understand how you feel. People are always saying how boring I look. But how well can you really get to know a person driving by them at seventy miles an hour after all?
If they would bother to stop and get to know states like us better, they might change their tune.

[She laughs lightly.]
And here I thought you stole my undergarments when I first met you. It seems kind of silly to think of you doing that now.
