I was gonna see if we can get a nice Chaucer set though.
I feel like a bitch if I don't get Chaucer in like some enormous oversized tome with like gilded edges and shit.
Exactly.
Which is why I'm gonna need that 30% off.
That's why I like you, St.
You are classy.
How'd that Japan treat you, then?
I grew a lot from my experiences there. They were most deffo necessary, sirrah.
That's interesting. I think the only part of me that did a lot of growing was probably the chore-doing part.
Not having clothes for lack of washing them and not having hot water for lack of marching myself down to 7/11 got old in a hurry.
Yeah I hear ya. I remember living in the coldest damn apartment down in Shikoku for a couple months. We basically lived and died under that damn kotatsu.
Great! You used up all of our i's. Now starving forumers are gonna have to make better use of the other vowels. How do you expect Quoth to complete a novel when she can only use four vowels?!?!

Oh, man, I have a story for this.
So I lived in kind of a small town. You could bike from one end to the other in like 3 or 4 hours. I know, because I did several times per week.
So the apartment these nice School District people hooked me up with was built in the 70s. Old school in the extreme, tatami floors (that were wrecked to shit) sand-and-wood walls, the whole 9. These things were built to circulate air in the summer time, not keep you insulated in the winter.
It had two Heater/Air conditioning units, but I'd been out of the Japanese program at UCI for over 2 years by the time I moved out there, and I could not figure out some of the characters on that remote control. So when winter hit and it got cold, it was literally below freezing in my apartment. IT WAS WARMER INSIDE THE REFRIDGERATOR THAN INSIDE MY APARTMENT. I left a class of water out over night and the damn thing was frozen solid the following morning.
Because I had no electric heating, the next best thing was a kerosene heater. I will repeat that: I used a kerosene heater to stay warm during this time. Why not my kotatsu? Because the computer was not on the kotatsu, and I didn't watch much TV. There were three places in the apartment that I could be that whole first winter: in my bed, which had like 7 blankets on it, in the shower with the hot water turned up aaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllll the way, and in front of that kerosene heater, playing WoW. Occassionally when the smell of burning kerosene would make me dizzy, I would turn the thing off and pass out under the kotatsu until morning.
Trudging through snow with two 10 gallon jugs full of kerosene obtained from the local Gas Station is THE DUMBEST THING IN THE UNIVERSE, I TELL YOU WHAT.

It's hard to imagine, but small towns in Japan are pretty ridiculous.
This is Tokushima
It's the biggest city in Shikoku, and the people who live there are still hicks. They even have hick accents. This is a small town in Japan.

I'm just thinking about "small towns" I know in the Northeast and how even the hilliest among them could be traversed by bicycle in about an hour, maybe hour and a half.
