If people think back to the beginning of 2004 I was speaking alot about going overseas, mainly emigrating to England to be with my beautiful girlfriend(I now hope that she dies and rots in hell for all eternity) I had also made plans to attend QLAN, which I was actually on track for until the whole emotional break down thing.

I had tried to apply for italian citizenship but unfortuanately we were missing some documents, which has taken the last 2 YEARS to get, so I finally am eligible for getting an Italian (ie. EU) passport. This obviously makes travelling to Europe extremily easy, I could even go to Sweden like Krek suggests with not much difficulty. However I haven't really factored this into my plans because I've heard that applying for an italian passport can take up to a year and I'm getting it through my great great grandfather.

Otherwise I'll be applying for a student visa for the czech republic (and then for a working visa once I'm there) Luckily, South Africa does not need to pay anything for visas to the Czech rep.

I plan to leave between march and may and have saved up £1200 so far, I've worked out I'll need about £2000 to sort out everything, unfortuanately I have 2 £100 phone bills to pay, need to repair a guys car that I crashed into, pay a speeding fine and my radiator just broke on my car. Oh and today is my last day at work, I just quit :) (I work for ASDA home shopping, DON'T SHOP WITH THEM THEY ARE CRAP!)

Regardless of all this I think the future is bright, or atleast interesting.

In other news I've been making my first Quake map since Quake 1. It's a cross between t2(playing style) and pdm6(looks) I've put in some innovative things which I hope are interesting (nothing over the top) and I should have a beta out by tonight or tomorrow. Also if anyone is interested to work with me, I desperately need someone to handle the texture/lighting/decoration side of things, because I'm not very good at it(not bad either mind you, just not world class)

Anyway, new years awaits and I'm going to TOTALLY HAVE FUN. WOO HOO! lata x
