Kanashii desu!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*lots of tears* I actually did tear up at this horrible horrible news. One Manga.com is going. It's taking down all of its manga and by next week - *bursts into tears* IT'LL ALL BE GONE! GONE! *more crying*

You may be thinking, "That's it? Really? Overreaction much?" However, for me this is the equivalent of THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!!

*Grows mushrooms in a corner*

FINE, whatever. Leave me alone. *grows more mushrooms*

This is the message that greats you now:

"There is an end to everything, to good things as well."

It pains me to announce that this is the last week of manga reading on One Manga (!!). Manga publishers have recently changed their stance on manga scanlations and made it clear that they no longer approve of it. We have decided to abide by their wishes, and remove all manga content (regardless of licensing status) from the site. The removal of content will happen gradually (so you can at least finish some of the outstanding reading you have), but we expect all content to be gone by early next week (RIP OM July 2010).

So what next? We're not really sure at this point, but we have some ideas we would like to try out. Until then, the One Manga forums will remain active and we encourage all of you to continue using them. OMF has developed into a great community and it would be a shame to see that disappear.

You can also show us some love in this moment of sadness by 'liking' our brand new Facebook page. It would be nice to see just how many of you came to enjoy our 'better than peanut butter and jelly' invention.

Regardless of whether you stay with us or not, on behalf of the One Manga team, I would like to thank you all for your unwavering support over the years. Through the ups and downs you have stuck with us, and that is what kept us going.

As a certain Porky was fond of saying... That's all folks!

Time for me to go lay down and let this all sink in.

Two Things That Start with I

Wow. It's been a long time since my last post. About 26 days. There wasn't much to say and I had to wait for mom to finish her post so I could say: LOOK AT HER BLOG FOR LOTS OF INFO ON THE TRIP.

There, now I don't have to give you tons of information. I would like to say, I enjoyed Italy very much. I never want to drive there, but it was a nice vacation. The ice cream really is to die for. If there is a heaven it's filled with Gelato. Frutti di Bosco is my favorite flavor. The beach was nice. I found sea shells and fish. The fish were thin, silvery, and when they stayed in one place by the sand they looked like ridges in the sand until you're about two feet away and they suddenly swim off! I found some really good birthday presents for my best friend and a souvenir for my other best friend. If we go again I'd like to go not in summer. It was hot. The hotel was pretty cool though. Oh, also, I want to eat a fresh tiramisu. It looks good even if it is mostly coffee.

Watashi wa kanashii desu!

Or maybe annoyed is a better word, yeah, I'm annoyed. Due to the fact that the Bamberg High School is shutting down the Schweinfurt Middle School is being turned into the Schweinfurt High School. Only all the high schoolers go to it, not just the ones is Schweinfurt. Basically, Schwienfurt High School will become the high school. This wouldn't bother me except for two things. First, this transition takes place next year, my ninth grade high school freshman year. Second, the high schoolers are made up of bullies and idiots. I am not joking. All the time you here stories of kids getting beat up at school on the bus. Not just beat up, but no one really talks about it very much because it's always happening. And get this, they don't help each other. Apparently your big chance for survival is if you take some form of defense training or have big brother(s). So yeah, also, it is official. My mother is home schooling me for my freshman year of high school. I'm not completely sure exactly what emotion I'm feeling, but I'll tell you this - I am not happy. Although, i might be even more unhappy if I'm looking over my shoulder every day in school 'cause I wouldn't ride the bus afternoon or morning ( I already don't ride it in the afternoon no matter what the weather). Well, that's my news. Now enjoy this picture which makes me laugh:
