A Mature Relationship With Lyssa – Mad Chaos: April 16, 1998

Yep, haven’t written in my Diary for two days.  Could have yesterday but didn’t get around to it.

Lunch In Parramatta With Lyssa

Tuesday morning after writing my entry I jumped up and caught the bus to Campbelltown.  Catching the next train to Leumeah I bought my ticket and then headed for Parramatta.  Almost running to Lyssa’s college I was only a couple of minutes late, as Lyssa was sitting down waiting for me.

Lyssa and I headed to have lunch with the money Lyssa had left over.  We bought hot chips that tasted like egg on the inside, but we still ate them. 

Sitting on some public seats, we watched the birds swarm around us for food.  This one bird was squawking at the others to keep away from us.  After we ate, we sat there talking for more than her half an hour break before heading back.  Lyssa had a plan to only go until the next lunch break and then go home with a sickness.

Lyssa Truants From College

While Lyssa was at college I visited the shopping center.  I was looking around in HMV and Sanity, listening to songs before meeting back up with Lyssa. 

Picking Lyssa up at 1pm she didn’t have permission yet to leave college for any reason.  But after some thinking and no help from me, she decided it was time to go home.  Lyssa doesn’t like college that much.  I don’t know why but I hope her work doesn’t find out about how slack she is being in that respect.

Kuper Cooks Dinner

Catching the train we caught the bus to Lyssa’s house.  At her house we had lunch around 2:30pm.  There must have been around ten people that called for Lyssa that night, which pissed me off as she was on the phone for half an hour or more each.  We still had the movie at Lyssa’s house because we didn’t return it, but I was returning it the next day.

Nearing nighttime, Lyssa’s brother came home and was going out later with Colton.  While he was home and Lyssa was on the phone for her half an hour Kuper asked me if I wanted some dinner.  A nice gesture that was, as I said yes.  Ten minutes later he came out and handed it to me because he must have thought I would have been embarrassed. 

Colton came over and also sat down in the lounge room, as we were watching Seinfeld.  Lyssa was still on the phone, as I was in the lounge room.  Then later she came in but back on the phone soon after.  Kuper and Colton left shortly after for the night as I thanked Kuper for cooking the food.  I guess that was hospitality for staying over his house and his okay for helping him with his sound system.

Lyssa finally finished her last telephone conversation, as we watched Melrose Place and Beverly Hills 90210.  Half an hour later Kuper and Colton came back with another friend.  I shook his hand but later was embarrassed to remember that I had a real bad ponytail and his was all-neat when I shook his hand. 

Kicked Out To The Kitchen

Lyssa and I were both looking like housos, which was funny.  We were kicked out of the lounge room so they could watch the “Star Wars Trilogy”.  We were watching the rest of Melrose in the kitchen.

After television we jumped into bed to prepare for the next day.  Lyssa told me that Kuper had great respect for me.  The only thing Kuper didn’t like about me was the time I made her quit smoking because he tried to make Carleigh quit but she wouldn’t.  Setting the alarm, Lyssa and I kissed and talked for a while before actually going to sleep.

Lyssa Leaves For Work

Wednesday morning the alarm rang.  While I slept Lyssa had a shower and prepared for work.  After her preparation she woke up Kuper so he could get ready, kissed me goodbye, and then left. 

Lyssa came back in a couple of minutes because she missed her bus and it was freezing outside.  She wet her feet outside.  Her feet were freezing, so she jumped in bed for the next ten minutes before she had to leave again.

Bumping Into Parents In Town

I went back to sleep until 9am where I had a shower and then left for Campbelltown.  In Campbelltown I handed in the forms for Living Away From Home Allowance.  From there I had seen dad at Mobil, so I got a lift with him to where mum was shopping. 

Doing my own thing before we all left, I decided to visit the florist.  Buying a rose I got it chopped shorter, and then placed in a plastic bag.  I took the rose to the car and threw it in.  Mum finished shopping.  Then we drove home.

Working On Dedications CD

Walking into my room I mucked around on the computer for some time.  Then I lay the rose on a white background.  Laying it out right, I started taking some pictures of it for the CD Cover.  Taking it outside, I took a couple more photos and then placed the rose in a box so that it can die quicker. 

I called some places regarding CD printing.  Then I started notating my song.  Playing the keyboard and writing down the different parts, it was time to head for the bus stop.

Browse Music Central In Library

Catching a bus at 5pm I headed for Campbelltown Library.  On the way to the Library I had seen Penelope and Ali.  I told them if they wanted to (since they were back together), to visit us at Lyssa’s house tonight.  Lyssa told me that Ali begged Penelope back (practically), and she slapped him in the face before taking him back.

In Campbelltown Library I used the computers to browse through Music Central since I heard it was free.  There were no real good things about it.  I thought it would be best to search the Internet for what I wanted. 

Dinner At Lyssa’s House

Anyway from the library I walked to the train station to catch a train to Leumeah.  Waiting there for a couple of minutes Lyssa showed up.  Then we headed for her house with a bus. 

At Lyssa’s house we made a big dinner, which for me, comprised of a sandwich with a fish fillet piece and a chicken piece, including different sauces.  Just before we started to eat, Penelope called up for them to come over.

While we were eating Penelope and Ali came over.  We talked for about an hour, as I was reading my Drum Media that I collected from Campbelltown.  Lyssa answered the door to Kiley.  They talked for about twenty minutes before coming back. 

Meeting Velda’s New Boyfriend

Ali and Penelope left soon after they found out Velda and her new boyfriend were coming over.

Just as we were about to go to sleep with her brother not home yet from work, Velda knocked on the door.  Letting them in, we sat in the kitchen to have a talk for about half an hour.  I met her boyfriend whom I heard walked around gay and wore tight leather pants.  He was Westie looking with a shaved blonde head and a rough face.  He had tight pants on and walked funny.

When they left, Lyssa and I jumped into bed.  We ran around the house chasing each other, making fun of Velda’s boyfriend and his walk.  Lyssa was real tired as we went to sleep around 10pm.

Researching Quality Print Shops

Lyssa woke up this morning at normal time, as I slept.  Lyssa had her shower and got ready.  We had seen Kuper was home.  Lyssa left for work today in a hurry. 

I woke up at 10:30am and after having a shower.  I started calling around for someone that can print bigger than A3 size in color.  While I was calling around, Lyssa gave me a call from work.  After finding out that I was meeting her at Leumeah station this afternoon, I continued with my calls.

After finding most places in the City didn’t have the ability to copy on two sides of paper at the same time, I got lucky by calling a manufacturer of a Zycon Printer.  They told me of a place in Parramatta. 

Calling the printers in Parramatta up, they had all I needed.  Not only do they print magazine quality with 5,000 DPI (brilliant) they print over 480mm, in color and on both sides.  It is costly but that’s what all my projects turn out to be.  Everyone out there is only after the fast dollar.

Feeding the cat, I started my trek to Campbelltown.  Handing in another form to Centrelink I headed for my house, and here I am now.

I think it’s good that I come home every day from Lyssa’s house.  I get a chance to write in my computer and listen to my music.  This weekend, Lyssa and I have the house to ourselves on Saturday night.  But, Saturday I will be coming to my house and inviting Ralf over so we can muck around with music again and work out the guitar part for my song.  If this CD comes through and is done correctly, I’m going to love what I have done.

Now that I’m at home, I will be ringing some more recording studios and then doing some work on my computer.  That’s all I have to say for today.
