Hey all, this is Jen, Jared's roommmate and fellow Promicin +. He's sleeping very deeply right now, but I think he's going to make it. The first few hours after he took the shot were bad, he went into a seizure then started throwing up a lot. I got him to eat and drink a little bit before he fell asleep and now isn't waking up and has a slight fever, but Im keeping him cool.
I admit...I feel bad. I mean, Jared was always the cautious one of the two of us while I been the wild child. Part of me wonders if he would have taken the shot in the first place if I haven't. I know he's going to make it most likely, but I'm still afraid. So, if it's alright, since I know those of you who are reading this are all probably going through your own crisises at the moment, please say a little prayer for him just to be safe.
Oh and Jared, when you read this entry, know that I'm the lucky one here. I love you, never forget that and no matter what you do, I'm with you...

Tonight's the Night
Well, in a few minutes I'll be taking the shot. Jen will be watching over me for the next 48 hours and has access to this blog and will post updates regardless of how things go...
Am I scared? You bet, but this needs to be done. Someone needs to take a stand, show the mistakes that have been made and at least try to fix them. In case things don't go my way, I ask those who do read this to keep fighting and trying to show the world that the majority of those with promicin in them want to change the world for the better. Also, even though a lot has been revealed there's still a lot of unanswered questions regarding promicin and the 4400 that needs to be answered.
Either way, I need to say some things now...especially if I don't make it
Mom, Dad, I know you'll be mad at me for taking the shot, but you always told me to stand up for something if I see there's a problem in the world and there is one now. You have been great parents and loved me and supported me no matter what, but always let me know when I screwed up
Rebecca, you'll probably be mad that your big brother wouldn't be around to help you for the rest of your college life, but please understand this is something I have to do. We may fight like siblings do, but I know that you love me as much as I love you, little sister. Just keeping shining and being yourself as you always have and you'll succeed at anything
Jen, we've been best friends since we were 3 and that will never change. You have always been my 'partner in crime and chaos' and had my back. You've supported me no matter what I've said and done, which is why you were the first person I came out to. I know I must have done something good to have you in my life and I am glad you are here with me now...
To the rest of my friends and family, thanks for being there and thinking I'm a decent guy...LOL
Well, wish me luck everyone...

A little delay
I was going to take the shot tonight, but I had to deal with calimgn a grieving friend for a good portion of the day, so I decided to wait until tomorrow night. Mark is this guy I met online through the game Guild Wars (We are in the same guild). We got along alright, even though he was a little younger than me and got to talking offline as well.
A couple of months ago, he planned to take the shot with his boyfriend, but in the middle of lovemaking before going through with it, his boyfriend's father, who is a total homophobe came in and when he saw what he did, beat his son to death. Thankfully, the guy's mother shot him in the leg before he could harm Mark. He still went through with taking the shot though, but this time simply to try to kill himself. Fortunately, he lived and gained an ability, and wanted to help the world and get others to help him, so he gained a few more shots.
His family was worried though that he was taking to try to hurt himself or perhaps increase his power. His little sister Maria took a shot, maybe to understand her brother better, maybe because she wanted to be special as well, but unfortunately she died.
Mark called me right after the funeral, still in tears saying over and over "It's all my fault, It's all my fault." and I calmed him down the best I could and told him it wasn't his fault. It is true, it was his sister's choice to take the shot, not his although he should've hid the shots after his parents found them. I can understand teenagers wanting to help as much as adults, but part of me feels that even if they may be motr mature than some adults with handling abilities, they are still too young to be taking this type of risk. That's another mistake I feel has been made with Collier's distribution, again I'm sure not all teenagers who've gained abilties are like Graham, but I feel that those 18 and over are more likely to handle the physical and possibly emotional responsibilties with having a 4400 ability than a 15 year old....

About Me
Considering this is my first post, I might as well say who I am, but not too much of course considering the damn ban that the government just passed. My name is Jared, I'm 25 years old, openly gay, studying to become an FBI Agent. I'm the oldest of two children, love to play video games, write, exercise, and play my guitar.
And in a few days, I plan to take promicin...
I know what those of you who are reading this are thinking 'Has he lost his mind?', but I haven't least I think I haven't LOL I have gained a shot from my roommate Jen, who thankfully surivived taking it herself.
As for why I'm doing it's simple. Yes, there are 4400s and those who take the shot whove abused their abilties, like this Graham kid who was in the news recently, who I understand since I used to be like him, but defintely do not support. However, the majority want to either lead normal lives or use their abilties to help the world. I mean some of the abilties that I've heard about are beneficial not threatening. I can understand the government being scared but this isnt the way to do it. That doesn't mean that Jordan Collier hasn't made mistakes because he certainly has with the way he distributed the promicin to anyone who wanted it and introduced chaos and problems. However, all of these problems can be fixed in my opinion
I have an idea, its crazy, and of course depends on me living through the shot and gaining a useful power
I plan on reporting myself to NTAC
Again, I know what some of you are thinking 'Has he lost his mind?' My theory is that if I try to get into take the training to become an Agent, I can perhaps show people that not all those with promicin in their system for one reason or another are bad people, and that we can make a good difference for the world.
Granted, it's a longshot and will probably take a while, but in times of crisis we have to get creative sometimes, right? One of the things my parents taught me was that if you see an injustice happening and you can do something about it, then do it.
Someone needs to stand up and show the world that promicin is not a synonym for evil or chaos. After being there for Jen (my roommate) the first 48 hours after she took the shot and helping her learn what she can do with her ability, I decided that if no one else will do it, then I will
If you do decide to read this blog, stay tuned...cause things may get very interesting for me
