I HAVE THE VISA! Ahahahaha, I have now moved to UK. And listen to this...

I haven't been in UK for more than a week with my shiny brand new visa and already I got involved with the police! No, it's not what you might think...
I was alone in the house yesterday, see. Sometime around 1pm, there was a knock on the door and I went to see who it is only to find this short...stocky...40ish y/o guy with a brick of a folder in his hands. Here's how the conversation went. WORD-FOR-WORD. I kid you not.

Guy: Hi, I've been here last week and I was wondering if I can interest you in...*shows me some leaflet*
Me: Sorry, I wasn't here last week.
Guy: Really? Where were you?
Me: Croatia.
Guy: Oh right.
Me: Yeah. And no one told me anything about your visit last week so I don't know what this is about, I'm afraid.
Guy: So, you're Croatian?
Me: Yeah.
Guy: And no one's around?
Me: No, everyone's at work. They should be back sometime around 6 so you might wanna drop by then and speak to someone else.
Guy: Ok, well, what are you up to?
Me: *slightly puzzled* Well...I've been doing some ironing and cleaning up and now I'll see what else I can do.
Guy: Wow, your husband must be very lucky to have you.
Me: *laughing nervously* Yeeaah...
Guy: What will you be up to now?
Me: Well as I said, I'll find something else to do. I'm home all day so I gotta do something.
Guy: *laughing* Well, you could invite me in and we could...make love.
Me: *pretty freaked out now, laughing* Ahahaha...haha, uhm, I think I'll pass on that!
Guy: You're not into sex?
Me: *still laughing nervously* Haha, no...
Guy: *laughs* What about your husband, he's not into sex either?
Me: I'm sorry, this is getting too personal now.
Guy: You sure you don't want me to come in? We could find something to do if you're bored...
Me: No, I'm very busy and I have to go now.
Guy: *laughs again* Well ok, have a nice day!
Me: Yeah, you too...

And I closed and locked the door.

WTF. So later on, we called the police and they said they take this sort of stuff very seriously and they'll be coming over to have a chat with me, get a description and ask me some questions. Also, that they don't get many people like this around here so this is pretty suspicious, and that he was supposed to introduce himself etc etc...
Honestly, we don't have door-to-door salesmen in Croatia so I had no idea who this twat was, for all I knew when we started "chatting", he might have been someone who knew mum or dad. As it turns out, he wasn't. I was sporting a big fuck-off knife attached to my belt for the rest of the day, whenever I'd go out for a cigarette I still do.

The Judgment Day of my life. If you roll back one blog post, you'll know why.
Keep your fingers crossed, pray, whatever it is you do to make things happen, keep doing it until Thursday.

Well, as some of you know, I've gotten married. Here's a bit of the backstory. I've met the guy 3 and a half years ago online. He's British (and I'm Croatian). We managed to keep a long-distance relationship during those years, visiting each other whenever we could and finally decided to get married. Now come the (bigger) problems. I have to apply for a settlement visa for UK. I've tried student visa last year and got refused, which diminished my chances of getting it next time I apply. This wouldn't be a problem normally, BUT...we learned that UK passed a new law, saying sponsors for visas can't be younger than 21, and the law is starting on 27th November...my husband turned 20 on Halloween. So...we're in crap now. I have a week to apply for a visa and the chances aren't very good that I'll get it. He was supposed to have been working on a full-time job for 3 months before I could apply, and he only just started on Nov 3rd...and we can't wait. If I get refused for a visa (which just might happen...) I will have to wait until he's 21 to apply again. It would be a year with only 24 days when I could see him. Why? Because he will only have that many days of leave. I can't go to UK anymore because last time I did, the woman at the Immigrations desk told me not to come back without a visa next time, the bitch. To add fuel to the fire, the flat my mum and I rent (in Croatia) is now up for sale and we can't afford buying it, having exactly 0 savings. Renting another place is out of the question because the rents are HUGE and we got a deal on this one because mum knows the owner. I can't get a job because this city severely depends on tourism and generally the only jobs available are seasonal (and it's off-season now) which is the same reason my mum will stop working in December. SO. No visa=no husband=no flat=no job=no money=no nothing.
Yeah. Sometimes it seems you just can't get a damn break in life.

Sorry for the whine-journal. Just getting it off my chest before I go and vent out on UT. Since I don't have 360 here.

I have been away from this place for a long time. Lost my ranking as well. Damn. But what's been keeping me busy and away is as follows:
Jeff Somers - The Electric Church
Keep It Clean
Halo 3
My wedding preparations

In that order

How is everyone around here? Have you been glued to Bungie countdown as well?

P.S.: A bit of news I somehow forgot to say - Don't know if you know what the 405th Infantry Division is...but Google it up and you'll understand the following. They'll be issuing a monthly E-Zine and I am one of very few who have been selected as fiction writers for it. My (currently) 9 chapters of Halo fiction will be chopped up in smaller pieces and published monthly as the part of the Zine!

I can't wait. I can't possibly wait for that. I remember the day I got Diablo 1 and Hellfire. I used to spend hours, literally hours killing monsters and piling gold, trying to get the best equipment and whatnot. I still play it! As well as Diablo 2 LoD, that game turned my head around. Even after so many years, it's just not getting boring! I just hope requirements for Diablo 3 won't be horrible and that I won't necessarily need a new computer.

I bought the 360...I bought Halo 3...
...
I am officially in love.

I'm away from this place for too long. Sorry about that. It's just that there are a lot of things in need of attention right now, that I never seem to be able to do more online than check up on places I'm at and perhaps, just tiny tiny perhaps, post up a reply or two. :-/ How's everyone? Well, everyone...there aren't that many...

...or the community isn't very active?
I have a few questions about this place.

1. What's that ranking system thingy? It says I'm 20th, of 980. That means there's a total of 980 people here? And I'm...20th!? Talk about having no life, hahaha

2. Is there a filesize limit to screenshots or any other picture when uploading? Because it wouldn't accept my screenshot the other day. It was 1.3MB.

3. Damn, I can't remember now. This is all for now.

...that Captain Keyes has a patch-tag on his chest that says "Hello, my name is Keyes"? I laughed. I laughed hard.

Let's see what this place is all about. Here's a little bit of intro. 22 year old female gamer who enjoys pwning boys at Halo...and collects pretty much everything Halo...and is an insatiable geek who can't help herself but keep building and buying new computers and piling them up all together, enjoying their friendly, warming glow...and wants to spend 24 hours a day, 365 days a year doing nothing but watching Star Trek...and absolutely loves guns. Well, that pretty much sums it all.
