I need to start using this thing more. I keep meaning to write down stuff that happens because wheee memories! but then I get caught up in other stuff or I'm too freaking lazy (mostly that second one) and nothing happens.

Speaking of Japanese, it sounds like you're pretty well versed in it, would you have any recommendations for a website or some resource where I can quickly brush up on my conversational Japanese and Hiragana/Katakana? I'm going to Japan in a month and sadly all my reading/writing skills have long since left the building, haha xD Would appreciate any suggestion <3

Hmm, I actually haven't used online resources other than dictionaries and stuff like that since I was trying to teach myself yeaaars ago, but I think this site has some stuff? http://www.japanese-online.com/
Other than that, the books I used to teach myself were of the Japanese for Busy People series, and I feel they were helpful. Using those books (vol. 1-2), I managed to test into Intermediate level when I started taking classes, so I'd say they were a good buy. I think they're about $25 or so? I'm sure it'd be cheaper used or on Amazon or something.
If you have a DS, there's a dictionary 'game' that I use that I really like called Sonomama Kanji Rakubiku Jiten, and you can write in kanji, kana, or even English words. It's very useful. :)
