Lyssa Vies For My Attention – Mad Chaos – October 17, 1997

Pining For Lyssa

Yesterday after work I got home.  I called Lyssa and talked to her for over an hour.  We were just chatting.  She really wanted to see me and I really wanted to see her.  I was craving for some Lyssa.  When I felt she wasn’t coming, I felt empty, even though I had my new computer.  

Lyssa Visits My House

Around 8:30pm Lyssa and Penelope did end up coming.  I gave her a big kiss.  

Ringing up Ali, Penelope went to see him.  She said she’d be back in half an hour.

That half an hour turned into a couple of hours, as me and Lyssa mucked around on the computer with some paint features.  

The Credit Card Scam

Shawn and Tatton then came over.  Everyone seemed to be fine with each other.  No one was embarrassed, especially Tatton who farted.  No shame.  

Shawn and Tatton were telling me about a scam with Credit Cards.  They have some details.  Today they are on the Internet ordering shit with the Credit Cards.  They said they would order me a LaserJet Printer.  If they can I’ll be a very happy man.  

I’m going to call Shawn later on tonight and see if they’ve done anything.  Maybe I’ll call Tatton.

Watch The Simpsons Repeats

Lucas was the next to come over to my house.  He had come back from a long trip up coast somewhere.  

Shawn and Tatton left around 11pm.  

Lucas stayed over, as we listened to his new CDs.  One of them was The Simpsons CD.  Although funny, most of it was The Simpsons repeats.  

Lucas brought in a super soaker that’s huge, I mean huge.  This thing squirts like a fire engine and 60 feet away also.  You’d get saturated with one of these.  So there I was with no water pumping it up and squirting air into Lyssa’s and Lucas’s face.

Penelope Disappears For An Eternity

Lyssa and I had fun last night, but we got stressed out when I stayed on the computer too long.  

Lyssa also got worried that Penelope had not returned from Ali’s house.  I was tired.  

At one stage Lyssa and I were contemplating to call Ali’s house near midnight.  Lucas even offered to give Lyssa a lift home.

Lucas left for Ali’s house so he could see if Penelope was there.  

Five minutes later Penelope was out the front beeping her horn.  That’s pretty inconsiderate if you ask me.  She knows I’m working tomorrow.  

If Lucas didn’t get Penelope, she’d be at Ali’s house until 2am in the morning.  

Diary Writing Habits Changed

When Lyssa left I was ready for sleep and only had less than 6 hours.  

It’s been around four days since I’ve written in my usual Diary at home.  I have written the diary for the last few days from the work computer.  This weekend I’ll have to write in the diary at home.  

Installing New Software Programs

My hard drive is already over 1 Gigabyte full, but after a few muck ups and a lot of time, I’ve started to gather what my machine is capable of.  

Right now I’m in the stage of just placing programs on the IBM Pentium 200 MHz computer.  Soon I’ll start manipulating my files a little to suit me.  Later on when I start to get used to certain types of programs I’ll read the files and learn more in the “help me” files.  

The programs that I’m going to keep I’ll keep, but the programs that aren’t much use to me I’ll probably save for future preference and delete it off the hard drive.  

The next stage is actually using my packages and progressing, getting to know my computer, how to use it, how to manipulate it, and fix it if needed.  I’m beginning to start to have fun with my computer.  

This weekend I’m going to set up the IBM Pentium computer in my room.  I’ve drawn some diagrams on how I think would be the best positioning for my comfort with the computer.

Tweaking Weekend Plans

This weekend has somewhat changed also.  

Tonight we might be seeing a movie if the crowd calls.  If Friday isn’t a movie night then I might stay home and learn the new IBM computer or go out with people and mingle, probably a boys night if they feel.  

Saturday I might be visiting the City with Lyssa.  Saturday night Lyssa and I might be visiting one of her friend’s parties that are invite only.  Lyssa might sleep over one of these nights.

Sunday I’m over at Shawn’s house, and then Lyssa’s house so I can drop my little gift off.

Keeping Diary Secrets From Lyssa

Lyssa was telling me she wants to read my Diary.  After just pondering that situation, I’ve realized I can’t let her read the most recent entries for the sake of Ali.  

If Lyssa finds out that Ali cheated – even though Penelope deserves to know – he’ll be dead.  

I want to tell Penelope because she’s my friend and I don’t want to see her hurt any more than she should.  But if Ali doesn’t tell her, that will only make it worse.
