Omnictionary Definition of Notability
Who is this guy?
Q is a guy who apparently has a life and---though Omnictionary is cool and Radar is awesome with his black Santa-collecting family and all---is doing important things like getting an education, rather than playing on the internet (like a band geek would). He's buff and brave, and convincingly attractive. Q is also characterized by manly panic attacks, among other masculine things.
Okay, honestly, he's skinny and weak and probably on a stake out for Margo Roth Spiegelman Happenings. The panic attack matter is still true, however (of course excluding the "manly" part).
His parents are therapists, which explains the panic attacks (eh... not really), and he has two good friends: Radar and Ben (who, I was told to pass on, will not accept the "Bloody Ben" nickname any longer).
He grew up in Florida next door to Margo Roth Speigelman. Q has always been in love with Margo.
He had perfect attendance at Winter Parks High School until Margo went missing.
Anger
Radar was here. And is angry at you. For not meeting the requirements. Shame.
Why doesn't he meet the requirements? I thought he was cool
Calmness
(He is cool. His awesomeness is just too much for you, isn't it? I see now. Oh, I've got you all figured out---I do. I'm going to go take a look at Radar's page, if you know what I mean. :P )
A Hero
Quentin Jacobsen is an adventure obsessed kid. He goes for what he wants, discovers things that were not meant to be discovered, and he does it all to make sure one girl, one girl he barely ever talked to, the one girl he's liked forever, was safe and alive. He goes through all her little games --- the clues (the picture taped on her window, the poem, the paper town). He is a boy every girl fantasizes about, because he is adventurous, and he is not afraid to risk a thing. And with this, he is a hero.
