Jett came over my house like he said he would but there was a difference. Opening the door Jett asked if he could borrow my Camera and a bit taken back I said yes. Jett is going to a Mountain Bike Expedition today and he needs the camera to take pictures of bikes that have been made this year. Jett wants to buy a mountain bike so I guess taking pictures will help him out. Jett didn’t have a movie and finding that a bit rude I found it more rude when he called up Min-Su after bagging her Saturday morning for being so snobby and using him. As I tried to listen to the television and not his conversation I found it disturbing to hear him still being controlled by his feelings for Min-Su. This boy doesn’t know when to give up his feelings and the signs from Min-Su are right out there for him to stop liking her. Nevertheless, Jett used my phone for about 45 minutes and when his depressing conversation was over with Min-Su he made his way to the car he brought himself to my house with. Jett told me he would return the camera today and come over to watch the Grand Final Game.

Lyssa called me back on Saturday around 9:00 p.m. unexpectedly. Thinking that Lyssa would have already been at Chevy’s by now she called me informing me that she was getting picked up soon. Lyssa was going out with Bielka, DJ and Penelope to Chevy’s and Penelope was coming to pick her up soon. Lyssa told me how Rhiannon called her at 8:30 a.m. Saturday morning asking if she could also go to Bali with her and Nikita. So now the three of them are going to Bali and I mentioned how Rhiannon might want to get onto Nikita or her since she was a Bi-Sexual. Lyssa got upset and then told me that Rhiannon was over that phase. Five minutes after that call Penelope rang her and asked her to Parramatta. Lyssa and Penelope shopped for five hours at Parramatta for Penelope’s birthday and only ended up buying two articles of clothing.

While talking with Lyssa I received a call on call-waiting and was wondering who it would be. Shawn was on the other end and wanted to know if he could come over with the Play Station. Being bored I didn’t mind Shawn coming over and he told me he would be twenty minutes. Lyssa left the conversation prematurely once again, she just doesn’t like speaking to me anymore. Asking Lyssa if she was still considering coming over tonight and sleeping. Lyssa just told me “I’m not sure, we’ll have to see on Sunday”. So Lyssa left to wit for Penelope but her reason for leaving was “I have things to do before my lift arrives”.

Shawn came over like he predicted, in twenty minutes. Trying not to make much noise as my mum was sleeping we chucked on the Play Station. Competing in soccer and some other sports games we started to get tired around 2:00 a.m. Blow, blow, blow is all I done with tissues and my nose. Never do I really drink tea, not that I have anything against it but I found myself drinking tea about five times during the night to soothe my sore throat. It worked for my throat but as far as my blocked nose went, it didn’t unblock it.

Shawn was noticeably tired around 2:00 a.m. so I opted for us to have a couple of hours sleep and he told me that he would call his mum at 6:00 a.m. in the morning. Shawn dropped off almost immediately and watching David Letterman for half an hour my eyelids started to get heavy also. Trying to sleep I had to use the toilet twice and jumped up to have some tea because I couldn’t sleep. Coming back into my room I held my nose to the window which was open all the way so fresh air could come in. Unexpectedly the phone started ringing and luckily for me it was cushioned under Shawn’s pillow so it wouldn’t make much noise. Picking up the phone Lyssa was on the phone like I expected. Lyssa told me she would probably call at this time and she did.

Lyssa told me about her night at Chevy’s and how she had a good night. Lyssa told me things that I didn’t really want to know like how she likes guys and they come up to her. Lyssa told me how she was looking at a bouncer guy with muscles and she said to Penelope “I like that guy”. Sitting down at a table that bouncer came and sat with her and then when one of Lyssa’s friends asked her to dance the bouncer announced “She’s with me”. Lyssa was thinking to herself “Alright” in a good way but she got up to dance with her friend anyway. Lyssa liked the guy but as far as anything happening Lyssa wouldn’t allow it. If you ask me his attempt to be with Lyssa was lame. Sitting next to her, not saying anything and then saying “She’s with me”, lame. Kofi was also at Chevy’s and he now hangs out with Mallory. Introducing the both of them Lyssa mentioned that she knew Kofi and when he asked how Lyssa informed him that she was going out with me. For some reason Kofi walked away and Lyssa thought it was just so he could dance again but she also thinks it could be because he didn’t think he should be speaking with Lyssa. Lyssa then told me how they left at 3:00 a.m. and Penelope’s car broke down so they had to call Ali. Asking if Penelope had mentioned anything about Lyssa and I, Penelope said nothing. So, she’s keeping her mouth shut but her mind still speaks loud enough for me to hear the insults.

Lyssa and I talked for fifteen minutes as I tried to be extra quiet so Shawn wouldn’t wake up. Luckily Shawn didn’t wake up when the phone rang, he was snoring so that’s a good sign. Every time Lyssa jumps off the phone these days she’s upset with me for some reason and wants to go. Continually I asked Lyssa if she is coming over for tonight and continually she told me she won’t know until tonight. Lyssa’s coming up with excuses more than answers to get to my house tonight. The only good thing I heard was that Lyssa will ask her mum for a lift because she doesn’t have money to spend on public transport. Everything else was detrimental and I was somewhat angered to hear Lyssa trying to squirm her way out.

Right now Lyssa’s sleeping from a long night and when she wakes up she will decide whether to come over my house. But let us see what can stop her. Friends can come over, she won’t be bothered and she’ll be angry with me and too upset to come over. Lyssa made it out as if I was using her for sex tonight if she comes over but in truth Lyssa was the one that practically just wanted sex. Sure we’re probably going to be sexual tonight but I want Lyssa over to be with her, next to her and share with her, not just for sex. If sex was on my mind then I would rent a hotel room.

For the rest of the night I tried sleeping after Lyssa’s phone call ended and I was having a better chance. My nose was still blocked but I had sound sleep this morning. Hearing Shawn wake up around 5:15 a.m. he walked to the toilet and for ten minutes I was wondering what he was doing. Jumping up I heard the shower on and thought this was a bit weird of Shawn, I thought he was sleep walking. Coming back into the room I kept my eyes closed and five minutes later I woke up. Shawn was getting ready to go home and in ten minutes he called his mum to pick him up. Shawn had to travel to the Comic Convention in the City so seeing him off at the door I walked back into my room for three more hours of sleep.

Waking up this morning at 10:00 a.m. I had a shower to soothe once again my cold. The warm water felt nice over my body and as I brushed my teeth I felt the cold going away. Right now the cold is still here but I will give it until tonight to be almost gone. My throat doesn’t hurt that much anymore when I swallow so that’s a start. Today I wait upon the Grand Final to play and Shawn, Jett and whoever else wants to come over to watch it. When I think about it, Lyssa could be right about not coming over tonight. If fate has its way Lyssa will find her way over but on my side if Shawn and Jett come over they will stay at my house later than the game and when Lyssa calls they will be here. Lyssa will get tired and not want to come over. Then there’s the fact that I have to be at Liverpool on Monday at 1:30 p.m. and I don’t want to rush Lyssa on Monday if she sleeps over. Then there’s the fact that I have a cold and I don’t want to pass that over to Lyssa but I think she was the one who actually gave it to me.

Well, that’s about it for me for today and speaking of the events of Saturday. One more thing I will jot down of no real importance but something I forgot to add. When Shawn was over my house he had a comic for Lucas in his hand that cost him $35 to buy but he was selling it for $70 to Lucas. Driving over in his new car bought from Keith he sat with us for a couple of minutes, thanked Shawn for getting him the comic and was then on his way out. Keith came over at the same time and Keith must have become bored of Shawn and I playing against each other so much so he left ten minutes into coming over to my house. Now that I’ve mentioned that little bit of information it’s time to get to the Grand Final Preliminary games and await the day’s happenings. Brisbane Broncos will win, after all, they are unbackable, that’s how good they are.
