A Gearbox With Three Working Gears (Part 5) – Mad Chaos: February 22, 1999

Fog Lights and Fake Aliens

Calling herself a taxi I packed up her Nintendo so she wouldn’t have to rush with it or worry about it herself. Having three bags to take to the taxi I walked out the front with her and as we got to my front door we noticed huge fog lights on my road.

It looked like a scene from ‘The X Files’ and Lyssa curiously asked me “What the heck is that”. Knowing that Lyssa was still dazed from sleeping I replied, “It’s the aliens” and then noticing the taxi in the distance up the street she kissed me, thanked me for a good night and then wished me a good night. Watching her butt as she walked into the taxi I saw her off and then stepped back into my house.

Playstation Meets Dark City

Within the next half an hour Shawn called me and then along with Tatton they came over to my house. Shawn had informed me beforehand that he had the Playstation from Jett and he had brought it with him along with a rented game of ‘Madden 99’. The time was 10:30 p.m. when we started to play Madden and I noticed one huge difference between Playstation and Nintendo. Between the both of them Nintendo has the better graphics but Playstation has more movie sequences and is better if you didn’t have to compare the graphics to that of Nintendo.

After three games on Madden 99 we turned on the movie that they also brought “Dark City.” Being for the imaginative minds, which includes me I had to follow all parts of the movie to figure out the plot and illusion of it all. Three quarters of the way through the movie I realized that they were on a spaceship controlled by Martians and it was some sort of study on humans. The time arrived to 2:00 a.m. and basically when the movie was over they called it a night.

Confessions After the Movie

That now my dear friends is the end of my Sunday night and around the time that I started to write in my Diary. Before I continue let me make some loose points and some valid points at that about my conversation with Lyssa that brought out some hidden secrets.

Firstly, the first time that Lyssa and I had sex in our night and I came quickly Lyssa was afraid that I had dripped down there. That was the reason that the both of us had a shower and although I cleaned myself I feel that I could have had some sperm still deep within me when starting up again. Let’s just hope that Lyssa doesn’t get any pregnancy scares this time around but I believe with firm confidence that she won’t.

The second point of information is how Lyssa finally confessed and revealed that I wasn’t the only one to see her boobs in full bloom. “I’ve never told you this because you might get angry” Lyssa said, “But when I was going out with Braxton he saw my boobs”. Prying some more into this matter I thought that Lyssa could have meant after we were going out and I was about to get angry but Lyssa informed me it was before the both of us.

Lyssa then went on to tell me that it happened just before Lyssa and I started going out, a couple of months beforehand. When Lyssa was going out with Braxton for a month and they would occasionally get onto each other alone at his house he made his move. Kissing started and then he eventually pulled up her top which she allowed.

From there he pulled up her bra and started to nibble on her breasts but Lyssa claimed that it was only for a second and then embarrassed she pulled back down her top. That was the first and last time that Lyssa’s boobs were seen before I started going out with her. I guess this was a platform that Lyssa stepped upon leading her to curiosity which probably opened extra doors for me. While Lyssa and I were chatting she also informed me that I’m the only one that’s ever understood Lyssa long enough to put up with her but that’s a different story completely, some other time…

A Wearisome Monday

Now commenting on today will not be that much of a hassle as it was a wearisome day at my house. The only times I chatted with someone was when Lyssa called me and woke me up at 1:30 p.m. and when Keith rang me late tonight to ask if I had called him. When Lyssa first rang me in the afternoon I was had had nine hours of sleep to my belt. The conversation lasted for around 20 minutes as Lyssa told me how tired she was from the weekend and how she wouldn’t get proper sleep again for the night.

Birthday fever was in the air for Lyssa’s mum and forced to attend a function at a restaurant to celebrate her mum’s birthday Lyssa had no control over what time she came home. The Risks were driving and thus, Lyssa thought she was getting home around 11:30 p.m. Only six hours to Lyssa’s sleep cannot be good at all but she is forced to put up with it.

Lyssa also advised me that her mum wouldn’t let her play the Nintendo but made sure to thank me straight away for giving her the Nintendo and a great night last night. Pondering what measures to take to play her Nintendo Lyssa commented how she was now eager to play the Nintendo, explaining it was like a new little toy. Lyssa had to jump off the phone the first time because someone else was jumping onto Reception so we said goodbye.

Ali and the Dying Gearbox

Waking myself up and having something to eat and a shower I started to watch television but around 4:00 p.m. I started to get tired. Wondering if I was ever going to make it to the Gym for my Monday training I opted to rest my weary eyes knowing I probably wouldn’t have a good workout being tired anyway.

For the next hour and a half I slept until I was finally woken up by Lyssa again. Being 5:40 p.m. I wondered how Lyssa got back home so early but I gathered it was because Ali gave her a lift and I was right. “I was afraid to ask Ali for a lift” Lyssa announced, “His gearbox has blown up and he can only use gears one, two and five”.

Being more inquisitive Lyssa told me that he uses the first two gears and then puts it in neutral for down hills but up hills he would rev second gear out and put the foot to the floor for fifth gear. That conversation lasted fifteen minutes as Lyssa was getting ready for her night out and as I let her go I knew that I wasn’t making my way to the gym. What had stopped me before was that it was raining heavy and I guess that brought out the lethargic in me.

Odds and Ends After Midnight

Now the time is almost 5:00 a.m. and let me just note that this entry has taken so long because the start of the night had seen me being so stressed from typing with a mental handicap. Nevertheless, that mental ignorance left me when I had a shower and then another one to loosen up furthermore. Altogether, today I’ve had four showers, I’ve placed Bryl Cream in my hair because it was agitating me being so fluffy and I killed a cockroach flushing him down the toilet.

Before I leave these pages now once again without poetical thought to get myself some more much needed sleep I have two more things to add. In Macedonia there is a City called Belgrade. In Macedonian this word broken up means ‘White City’ and it sounds kind of cool when you say it in English. ‘Bel’ means white and of course ‘Grade’ (Pronounces Grudt where the ‘R’ rolls on the purring tongue) means City.

The second appendage to this paragraph has to do with my computer and its performance. The left shift button discontinued its working practice a couple of days ago and even though it’s working now all these broken buttons were starting to piss me off. On top of that the monitor was starting to flicker only in Microsoft Word as if a fuse was about to blow.

Although the color only changed a fraction and the effect was like watching your reflection in water as you put your finger in it to make it ebb and flow one would ask how good a deal I got on my cheap computer. With all these problems occurring you would wonder if I should be worried or praiseful that nothing has happened to the memory where this three year old Diary has been gently stored.
