Maybe if I motivate myself I'll actually get things done

[karanguni]

Things to write for people:

- knightlineninja: Zack and Tseng; either Crazy Ronin Fic or Winter Is Coming!!! or Welcome To Wutai (TM)

If I knew the way
I'd seek it out and set forth too;
With scarlet leaves
Woven into offerings,
Autumn has departed

- aikonamika: Turks; no-kill job: PROSTITUTION RING ANYONE fjalsjflas or THE TEN TIMES TSENG DID INTERESTING NEGOTIATIONS why am I using capslock smash smash

- schatterstern @ IJ: friendly fire: all I can think about is that line from Sage Francis' song Slow Down Gandhi: friendly fire - that's a funny term, like "civil war".

- shadowwaker: Rufus; acting evil being good: PROSTITUTION! I really need to stop thinking so much about Rufus and just start writing him. If I can canon-bash through Tseng, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO -- *falters and fails*

- logistika_nyx: Yuffie versus Tseng, TSENG WINS, because Tseng is a Hippy Tree Hugger (TM). Sort of. Kind of. Almost. Yeah.

[[Anyone else that didn't leave prompts in the last post is invited to leave them now!]]

Also, hi:

Have any of you guys travelled to Japan before? And know cheap but good places to stay? Or really cool places to visit? Am planning a trip with friends and really want to keep my budget as low as low can go (otherwise I necessarily sell my soul in the interim). :D :D :D

And as a potential side note, anyone know anything about travelling cheap in the Toronto and New York regions? If I'm going alone I can bunk out in Canada with a friend, but since I'm thinking of taking people with me I'm looking for good places to put them if it works out.

INTERNETS I KNOW THAT YOU ARE POWERFUL. PROVE ME RIGHT!

Kyoto and Tokyo as of two years ago. Really liked the Tokyo backpackers - Kyoto we stayed in a woman's house/bedsit style thing, which was great for getting a look at how people live. Will dig up some old records.

Would be so so so thankful for your help! :D

K's House Hostel (http://kshouse.jp/tokyo-e/) in Tokyo, fairly good location and a good vibe. Very fun peeps in there. Great for partying. When we went, though, everything was fresh as. Had only been open about 6 months. So no telling what it's like now. And me, being old and cranky, had a cry about the mattresses, but my friend loved it specifically for the mattresses so... :shrug:

I liked the mattresses better here (http://www.rose.sannet.ne.jp/c-inn/) in Kyoto, where we got to sleep on the floor on a mount of quilts. Mmm. This was a twenty minute walk away from Kyoto central station (or a frantic mad 10 minute sprint at midnight, if necessary XD), but was in a very quiet neighbourhood. But then, Kyoto we went for the culture, not the midnight sprints for the train.

It was also our base for shinkansen trips because of the proximity to Central. Not a lot of stuff inside the house, just a quiet crashout zone.

Hope it helps!

awwwwwwwww you made me all nostalgic for Japan now. ;_;
