Bundled up in sweatshirts, gloves, a hat and a scarf, the third oldest American state walked through his streets. His destination was, of course, a familiar diner he frequented. He knew it would be warm inside.
The Garden State was finally feeling the first licks of winter, the cold wind whipping across his face with gusto as he walked. Man, how had it gotten so cold? He knew Edwin had more than enough snow, same with a lot of the others and even BILLY, a state that rarely got snow! But not Logan. Logan had been enjoying springtime weather all through December. But not today. Today was what shook the system and reminded him what season it really was. He’d probably get sick from the sudden change, and felt the onset of a cold already plaguing his body and clouding his head.

A lot was on his mind. His current boss was planning to leave office, but started a political mess right before. A political mess he was a bit grateful for. A bill was made and passed and onto the next stage of approval- to make same-sex marriage legal for his citizens. They had his support, but he knew how many people were against it as well… it was a battle worth attempting, he supposed. His next boss already voiced his opinion on the matter… that under him, the bill would never pass. That he’d veto it. Logan already knew he wouldn’t like his new boss.

But for his citizens, he could hope.

It’d be a nice birthday gift for the state, anyway. The day that added another year onto his existence was coming sooner than he thought, after all… he didn’t remind anyone though. He wanted to see who remembered.

Tugging the jackets around him more, he shivered as another gust sent icy chills straight through his flesh, and as he ducked into the diner, he could only hope for spring to come sooner.

(( lolooo is getting cold and the gay marriage bill is causing quite the stir. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping this bill passes! ))
