Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jeremiah had become obsessed with getting everything just right for his script so he had thrown himself into his work. No longer was he the carefree, happy individual who scoffed at the idea of seriously sitting down and completing his homework. Now, the junior readily did his homework so he could go back to his script. Things were coming much easier for him now and he was almost done. He hoped that by the end of the first draft, he'd never have to see another sheet of paper again.

Who was he kidding? Miah adored writing and was beginning to think he'd realized his life's career path. He was going to be a writer, by God! When Jeremiah's pen touched paper, it was like something was coming alive within him.

But the boy had sorely neglected his friends and every social aspect of his life. He was ready for a break - that's why he was going to that convention he'd heard about. You know - that one where a lot of famous people were going to be. Heck, he'd heard that guy in that one movie with the whip and hat was going to be there. Miah couldn't wait to get his autograph!

Jeremiah went to a few panels on script writing and did a little bit of shopping so he could get some things to have autographed. He then went to stand in the ridiculously long line for that older guy who was a great actor. Miah knew that he would probably laugh, but those movies had meant a lot to him growing up. The character’s dad had been a lot like his own.

“Man, when will this line ever end!” Jeremiah groaned as he watched a girl around his age walk up. “This is insane, right? I mean, those guys over at Mister What were quicker than this and they’re like, so popular it isn’t funny.”

Tilting his head, he eyed the girl. “But it’s worth it, don’t you think?”

“I’m surprised who all they got here, to be honest. Some of my all-time favorite script writers were doing a panel on ways to beat the block. It was the most important thing I learned to day.” Miah told her excitedly. “Especially Jess Wheaton! He changed my life with Fluffy the Monster Killer.”

When she asked about Indiana Harrison, he was ready to propose on the spot. Did he like his movies! Hells yes he did! “My all-time favorite is Raiders of the Lost Temple, but really – any of his movies is worth my well earned money. Except maybe that City of the Glass Skeleton one. Aliens. Really?” He scoffed and earned a few glares from the diehard fans in front of him. “What about you? Any one special movie of his?”

Nodding his head vigorously, Miah agreed with her wholeheartedly. "Definitely! I loved Short Stop in it, he was just so adorable and the stuff that he'd say was just too funny not to laugh at."

Jeremiah crinkled his nose at the justification of Glass Skeleton but she did have a point - if he could step away from the craziness that was the director's obsession it may have been okay. "Yeah, I guess I'll have to re-watch it and ignore the aliens. The whole point up to the aliens was okay, I guess. I just wish that they'd done another movie while he was younger. Plus he did a variation of my favorite quote in the movie series - y'know the one about snakes?"

He suddenly thought of his second favorite Indiana Harrison movie - Space Fight. "And we can't forget how much of a loveably cocky b*****d he was in Space Fight. You wanted to punch him and pat him on the back at the same time."

Jeremiah chuckled at her enthusiasm. “I normally don’t find men attractive, but Indiana Harrison will always be one of the few who I would openly date.” He admitted with a wink. “I don’t know who I’d be without him, y’know? His acting has always led me to want to be that committed to the role.”

"That would be amazing!" Miah was now flailing like an idiot in excitement over the idea. "We could go around and make totally asses of ourselves to people who think they're too good for Indiana Harrison." His eyes crinkled wickedly as he continued, "We could even go to a school dance or something fun like that, you know? If you'd want to go with me, it'd be the funniest thing ever. Crunchy dancing with Hans."

"Ooooh! That would be so much more fun!" Miah was really getting into their topic of conversation. "It would be so much fun! I wonder what the theme of this year's prom will be." Jeremiah was wiggling all over with excitement that it took him a moment to gather she'd asked him a question. He replied, "I go to Applereach - but don't hold it against me, okay? I know some people hate Applereach but it's the one place I feel like I can be me."

Jeremiah started to laugh like no one was listening as she said that about the desk climbing. "While it's true about the broody messes, I'm actually one of those people who can't sit still unless I'm really engaged in the the topic." Miah shook his head, but pondered his own question aloud. "You know, neither can I. I mean, I can't believe we haven't bumped into each other before. I've been in a million different clubs and stuff - are you a big club goer?"
