my heart, it's all been saved for you

My brother seriously needs to learn anger management. Someone kept calling very early this morning and my brother, in a fit of ANGER and RAGE, ripped out the telephone and the Internet cords to stop the phone from ringing (since the Internet cords are in his room, and his own telephone extension), efffectively making us lose our Internet connection. (Why he didn't just pick up the phone, I'll never know. I mean, the ringing woke me up after I had trouble falling asleep last night too and I eventually picked up.)

Not to stereotype, but lemme tell ya, Serbian boys have the worst anger there is to be found on earth, and that is speaking from experience.

The one good thing is, I did manage to write a lot since I was disconnected and couldn't goof off. And I finally figured out how to start my romcomorama story! (And am about a thousand words into it as of a half hour ago.) yay! I mean it's due in June and I had about three months to work on it and finish it by now, but ya know *shrug*...The plot of the story, I knew beforehand, but, man, it was just hard starting that first sentence, you know. I'm also rather undecided on how close I should keep to the movie version and how much I want to make my own and how to fit that into Psych's universe and characters. I think it's easier to make these choices once you're in that moment of writing, instead of deciding beforehand or making any kind of outlines. (And I've also found that the things I'm NOT keeping the same as in the movie/prompt Ella Enchanted are things I disliked the movie. I mean, there isn't much that I don't like about the movie, it's one of my favorite movies of all time, but I can't help wondering how things might've been different if they'd decided to go a different route in the movie.)

So there was that bright side.

And I finally brought Abandon by Meg Cabot yesterday, after being in town to pick up my new glasses (which have an awesome dark brown plastic frame now, whereas all my other old glasses before were very thin and had no plastic frames). I'm not very far into it, but man, it's making me realize why I love Meg Cabot so freaking much (and am enjoying it even if the reading is very easy).

But, still, arrghhh! my brother. I love him but sometimes, man, you just get this strong urge to grab him by the shoulders and knock some sense into him.

(Here's hoping that with age, he'll mellow out some...)

*hugs* I have a housemate with that problem, although his tanties are more leveled at his computer, PS3 remote that cost him 80 dollars to replace after getting frustrated with the game, mind you, it was well after middnight and I could hear him from my room right down the hall, and Kat, who fortunately sleeps through her fiance's rage outbursts gets annoyed when she hears of what he does... I sat him down one day after he went loco of\ver one of the kittens doing something, I was so mad I threatened to get an Apprehension order if he didn't get help, he has since talked to Kath and I and is getting anger counciling. we have already noticed a difference after two appointments, and after his last explosion I talkeed to him for three hours about life and things he had piled up inside, most family related, he just needed an ear - a lot of us guys do have problems expressing emotion, but personally I decided long ago to buck the trend and always get it off my chest, I think I am a happier and healthier person for it...

Tell him there is nothing wrong in talking things through, even if the person listening can't directly impact the situation, it does really help and maybe he could talk to a counciler, but opening up, taking responsibility fort the damage, (his own expense), will ground him and should highlight the fact that anger will not change what has worked him up. He could have taken the phone off the hook, and dealt with the situation when he was ready to.

If your parents can step up and make you custodian of the internet and phone, even if he had it in his name, in the calm light of day, as a way of making recompense, he should agreee to that and pay for all the damage...

Anyway, that's just my lil thoughts on the topic of guys getting too angry. (I guess that it helped that I did yoga and a reikin training course, (touch for health healing, chi, working with life forces to bring balance to the body, mind and spirit),,, and read a lot of Asian philosophy while studying and for the fun of it, and comparative religions, Native Culture and anthropology for ten years, so it kind of helps in a big way to broaden my outlook on life and stuff).


The story sounds great, I know little of the ffandom, but I know you're a wonderful writer! <3333

Meg Cabet sounds good as well! I have to find a audio-book sharing -downloading com on LJ, if you come across one Lady J, could you let me know please, with a cherry on top?*winks*
