Bitter Argument Over Visiting Lyssa

Waking up this morning once again I was called by Lyssa on the phone.  She had taken another day off because she was real sick.  Still half-asleep on the phone, she asked if I would come over her house today.  I told her I might be able to. 

Lyssa got angry that I wasn’t going over to her house that day.  We had a big argument over the phone about it.  Lyssa hung up on me twice.  Then I left the phone off the hook for a couple of minutes trying to relieve some stress. 

It sounded like she didn’t appreciate the hour of walking I do in the blistering sun to get to her house.  This one time that I probably wouldn’t make it because of other obligations, she chucked a spew, so to say.  Lyssa called me back once again.  Angrily I told her I might be at her house.

Imad Calls To Apologize

Before I left Imad called my house.  He asked me if I was still angry at him for Saturday night.  I forgave my best friend for being a dog.  Then we talked on the phone for half an hour.  He told me how he’s quit his job at Mobil and how he wants to get back into a normal sleeping routine.

Hand In Dole Form

While getting ready to walk to Campbelltown I called the printing shop up again and some other places from the “Drum Media”.  With my form in my hand I was ready to head off and started walking. 

At Campbelltown I handed in my form, collected the Drum Media and started heading for Lyssa’s house.  The sun was very hot on the way to Lyssa’s house.

Read Drum Media At Lyssa’s House

Upon arriving I noticed Penelope’s car.  Walking in they were in the kitchen to be doing what looked like work.  I made a drink.  Taking my new Drum Media to the lounge room I started reading.  There were some interesting articles in there. 

A couple of minutes later Lyssa came in to the lounge room and sat with me to make things better.  We sat there together watching television.  Then after a while Penelope came in.

I had a shower at Lyssa’s house because I was so sweaty.  Then I had something quick to eat.  Staying for two hours over Lyssa’s house we didn’t do much but watch television, although, Lyssa and I were jumping around on each other for a while.

The Boring Hour-Long Walk Home

Having to leave, I gave Lyssa a couple of kisses goodbye.  I told her I would call her when I reached my house. 

Before leaving I called Ralf to see if he wanted to jam at my house with his guitar.  He was up with that.  Walking back home is always boring.  That was a waste of an hour in my life, time lost.

Before coming to my house I stopped off past Imad’s house.  Knocking on the windows I knew he was asleep, so I left. 

Guitar Jam With Ralf

Back at my house I started playing around on computer and called Ralf up to come over.  I then called Lyssa for a couple of minutes, as we were rushed for words.  Ralf was at my house in no time.  Saying goodbye to Lyssa and I might call her later, I helped Ralf with his gear.

For the rest of the night we sat in my room.  At first we were just mucking around so he could get warmed up on his guitar.  As I had expected, Ralf played and played riffs of his own and songs in his mind for an hour. 

When all that was finished and we done a duo on the piano, we started looking at my work.  We got as far as working out the first verse.  Basically they are the same as the other two verses.  The guitar chords are broken up.  Ralf and I sat there singing along the words to the guitar.

Shawn & Keith Barge In

Later that night Shawn and Keith came over.  They walked into my room.  That meant we almost suddenly stopped working on our song, as we had to pay attention to the new guests.  Shawn took a look at my songbook.  Flicking through it, he told me he liked one of my songs in there.  The reason he probably liked it was because there was space for a rap to be placed. 

From there it came a big family affair.  Then half an hour later they left.  I didn’t really want Keith to be there but he always happens to pop up where you don’t want him.  I told Ralf I would call him for another session some time but I don’t know if it’s worth it.

While we were jamming and everyone was over, Lyssa gave me a call around 10pm.  Seeing there were people still over my house we said our goodnights and hung up.  When they left, I wanted to call Lyssa to give her a right goodnight but I thought she would already be asleep.

Plan To Snap Photos For CD Cover

For tomorrow, I should have my money in the bank, so I will pay some bills and then trek to Burwood and Newtown so I can take some pictures with the new film I will buy.  The pictures will be art for the CD cover I’m designing.  I’ll also be visiting the City where I will be coming back home with Lyssa and taking some pictures of studios. 

From there Lyssa and I will come back to my house for one night.  Then the rest of the weekend is at Lyssa’s house since no one will be there.  All that and a bag of chips… tomorrow.
