Well I Think I Set Off A Nerve
Friday afternoon. Did a little Christmas shopping earlier. Caught up on the internets and now I feel that this is a great chance to MOC a little hero/Toa I've been thinking about for a few weeks. Sounds like a good plan right?
Well I guess it was since I was building from about 4-10, aside from dinner.
My brother gets back from school at probably 5:30 (goes to my dad's office first and then goes home when he's done) and walks up to our room where I've spread myself, my pieces and my music-playing laptop all over the floor in front of the desk and door because...nevermind. He opens the door (or maybe it already was) and sees me and immediately grunts something, turns around, and throws his...history?...book to the ground. Sounds like he gives out a little wimper or something as well.
Turns out half a disassembled MOC was lying right where he puts his backpack right after school or something.
I hadn't counted on that. I figured that he wouldn't need the desk because it is a Friday afternoon and he probably would not be doing homework. (And if I was mistaken I would have relocated to my living room, where my sister was watching TV so I would not have been able to play my music, hence building in my bedroom.)
Granted, he shouldn't have gone crazy because I disrupted his schedule.
I am very organized and want everything to go as I plan it. Scheduled. Thinking a few steps ahead in life. But this right here, my brother's actions, was right out of TDK's The Joker's "according to plan" and if not then "everyone loses their minds."
He could have asked. (Though, unless he really needed to use the space I was occupying, I had every right to be there.)
