The Great Size C Battery Heist (Part 4) – Mad Chaos: December 31, 1998

Black Pants Panic

Once again I have to dip back into the past and basically tell the story after my sleep over at Lyssa’s house on Tuesday night. The alarm being set at 9:30 a.m. woke the both of us but as it bothered me I jumped up and turned it off. Ten minutes later Lyssa woke up from her sleep and decided to have a shower so she could get herself prepared for her day in the City with Penelope.

For an hour Lyssa got ready and then she started screaming as she walked from room to room looking for a certain piece of clothing, black pants. Lyssa was frantic and as she asked me questions I tried to answer them as quickly as possible so my head wouldn’t be bitten off.

Alas, whatever was said to me Lyssa would have a go at me but I just kept my cool and kept my thoughts to myself. Later Lyssa found her pants and all was well as I jumped up and made myself breakfast, one muffin. Lyssa asked for a bite and when we finished the muffin it was time to head off.

Goodbye At The Station

Lyssa and I walked together to the station looking at the time constantly on the way down. Lyssa bought herself a magazine for on the way and giving Lyssa a kiss goodbye she crossed the road and to the other side of the train station to catch her train. As she bought her ticket and made her way to the platform we waved each other goodbye once again and then my train arrived.

From the train I smiled at Lyssa and made my way upstairs to enjoy the trip home. From Campbelltown I walked home, I didn’t have much money to buy bus fare. Arriving home early I had myself something to eat and then for two or three hours I got myself some more sleep. Upon waking up I had something else to eat and then prepared for the Gym. My workout is thus for Wednesday…

Chest Day Report

Chest: Warming up on the bike for two minutes I made my way to the Peck Deck Fly’s and with 90 pounds performed 20 reps. Stretching continuously I increased the weight to 160 pounds managing 13 hard reps. Pausing for a short while I dropped the weight to 150 pounds and once again I performed 13 reps. Moving to Machine Bench Press I put the weight up to 160 pounds and performed 10 reps.

Moving to Incline Dumbbell Fly’s with 45 pounds I performed a set of 10 reps. With the same weight and after a short pause I continued with another 10 reps. Moving to Cable Crossovers I started with 50 pounds per arm and performed 10 reps. Taking the weight down to 40 pounds I performed another set for 10 reps. One last set I did manage this time pushing the weight to 60 pounds and performing 10 reps in a Bent Over position.

Biceps: Starting with Standing Cable Curls with 35 pounds I warmed up for 12 reps. Moving the weight up to a new 70 pounds I managed with great strain towards the end to complete 7 reps. Moving to Preacher Cable Curls I loaded the weight to 40 pounds to perform 10 reps. Trying out a new exercise I moved to a preacher bench and with a dumbbell performed One Arm Dumbbell Preacher Curls. The weight was 25 pounds and I was surprised that both arms pushed out 12 reps.

Abdominals: Being the last body-part of the day I pushed the weight up to 40 pounds and for 3 sets performed 30 reps, not bad at all…

The Day Just Past

That’s all I have to write about Wednesday and chronology. The rest of the day and the phone calls I gave to Lyssa through the night have already been chronicled so look them up if you need to. Let me now speak of the day just past. Lyssa was supposed to ring me at 11:00 a.m. and wake me up so I could head to Campbelltown but I woke up at 11:30 a.m. without that call.

Having myself a shower and preparing to head out I gave Lyssa a call as she told me of her planned night. From all the information I’ve gathered over the past hours Lyssa is heading out with Ali, Penelope and all the Lebs including my friend Imad who is taking a day off for New Years Eve. Lyssa was spewing that Imad was coming and hoped he wasn’t jumping in the same car as Lyssa.

What was also getting Lyssa pissed off was the fact that Phoenix might go along with her and Lyssa wouldn’t jump in the same car as Phoenix at all. I’m not sure where Lyssa is headed but they will probably visit Wollongong and have a beach party like everyone else.

Macarthur Square Mischief

For my last day of the year I gave Keith a call after I talked with Lyssa and finding out he was also headed to Campbelltown I asked him to pick me up. As to what he’s doing tonight I’m pretty sure he’s going to this party of Tamsen’s because Noah was buying a Darth Vader Costume, it’s a dress up party. Keith picked me up around 12:30 p.m. and from there and with Tamsen in the car we headed to Campbelltown to drop off my form.

While in there I bumped into Manson who is looking more and more like a try hard, I know what his roots are. From there we drove to drop off Tamsen at work and after buying some oil and window wipers for Tamsen’s car we headed to pick up Noah. Keith walked inside because Noah was taking his time and once he was picked up we headed to Macarthur Square.

Macarthur Square had a reasonable amount of people inside and I enjoyed the perve although it wasn’t as good as it usually is. While there I bumped into one of Lyssa’s friends whom I can’t remember the name of. She’s engaged to that nice Asian guy and she has a little sister that got onto the guy who’s known as Snoop.

Seeing her in the Commonwealth Bank I just asked her what she was doing for New Years Eve. She’s headed to Byblos even though it’s going to cost her heaps of money to get in. Giving her a kiss on the cheek and wishing her a happy new year I made my way back to walking around Macarthur Square.

Toy World Chaos

This is around the time we made our way into Toy World where Noah was buying a Darth Vader costume. He ended up buying a costume that was big enough to suit a 10 year old and he stole size C batteries to put into his light sword. All through the store we kept yelling out to each other “Size C batteries.”

After causing our havoc in there we made our way once again around the square where Keith was going to get his hair cut but he decided to have it done in Campbelltown. Driving down we parked the car in the parking lot near Feelin Fit (Which is now Mid City Gym). While Keith was getting his hair cut Noah and I were practicing our whistling techniques while we looked at girls passing and cranking Tamsen’s system.

Tyler Reviews The Film

While still in Macarthur Square Keith and Tamsen made their way to Fun n Games and after buying my CD I made my way there to notice Tyler standing around. After greeting him he told me how he taped the home movie and thought he was very drunk in it. Then he commented about the flick that Shawn and I done after that and how he thought we were really slashing our hands and our stomach with the knives.

The guns he thought they were real or at least replicas and our acting, strangely he thought that was alright. I just laughed off he believed but in this breath I found out that Tyler had no plans with that girl. Asking him if he wanted to head out to the City tonight he told me he might because he had nothing to do. Later on in the night I still have to call Tatton to see what he’s doing and probably give Tyler a call because I want to head out to a nightclub.

Last Poem Of The Year

Thursday 6:14 p.m.

Here once again I am listening to the new CD that I bought and for that reason and for the lonely thoughts I have now of being alone for the new year I have written one last poem for this year. These last two years being 1997 and 1998 have been known to me as the lost years and this night will end the splurge of depravity that has been taking place.

With this song that speaks to me in French I do not understand the words but for that reason my thoughts believe in the tones and make words to match the mood. These words are written below and as all I have to write for the end of this year, hear these words that do not rhyme as usually happens but do flow of a melody…

I am the protector of my pride,

That I am sovereign of my stars,

Bachelor of my fortune I am,

And faith is the ruler of my life,

For here I have learnt none but alone,

I am as I am in my lone thoughts,

And faith sits proud to rule over me,

And makes depraved of my dreary jaunt,

Yet, my pride does not wither away,

My stars shall shine upon my fortune,

Languish shall not become of my day,

As I proudly stare upon my fate,

Shall speak this bard to your thoughts upon where,

This song that solitude sings in my prayer,
