For those who didn’t yet notice (I mean, c’mon, we’re so cool it’s rather hard not to notice), Yukan has been inactive since January 14th. Until now, I’ve been selfishly avoiding the announcement of the team’s disbandment, even though jiff emailed me ages back and suggested that I do so straight away. Of course, I immediately set to work, but my stubby little fingers remained still; I just couldn’t think of what to write, and not really knowing why that was so. Two months later, upon reading one of CalAggie’s latest posts, I asked myself why I had refused to bid my farewells to the ani-blogosphere for so long. And then a few minutes ago it hit me: I was afraid — no — scared shitless of leaving officially because you guys have just been so awesome and supportive of my bunny-torturing ways, and did I mention that I love you guys heaps?

Hence the reason I’m not allowing comments on this post (this is also due to my cowardice/cowardliness(?) — see, even my English sucks now). The thought of reading your lovely comments (at least, I’m assuming they will be lovely because you guys are just so cool and I love you lots and lots and lots and it would be a shame if you didn’t feel the same T.T), would make me teary, and if I cry now and wake up tomorrow morning, I’d find myself with very swollen and red puffy eyes. Not good since I’m now attending a co-ed school (hey, you gotsta look good when duty calls). Anyway, basically what happened to me was one day I decided to fan over Criminal Minds and How I Met Your Mother a little too much that I suddenly lost interest in anime and manga at the same time. I’m not entirely bored of those things — I still like drawing … which is still great, right? I also haven’t completely abandoned my murderous ways, and should I ever return to blogging (hopefully I knock my head pretty hard some day and realize I love anime again), bunnies won’t be the only creatures you’ll see dying/committing suicide, haha.

Now I really have to personally apologize to bateszi and Hynavian because I promised you two (and whoever else I promised but forgot to mention, sorry!) I wouldn’t vanish without warning again, but I shamefully did, and I’m really sorry! And I’d also like to apologize for giving such a late notice to everyone because I should have done this so much sooner, but I didn’t. And to JLeeson and newgeekphilosopher if you’re reading this: I don’t use Gmail anymore, but Riex can reassure you that I’m on MSN a lot more these days. At first, it was just me leaving the team (after Omisyth and 21stcenturydigitalboy) but I don’t think anyone’s writing any posts here anymore anyway (f**k, four any- words in one sentence!! Epic achievement!!), and it doesn’t take rocket science to realize that.

So on behalf of the team: LONG LIVE SACRED YUKAN! And this is our final bye-bye! If you’d like to remove us from your blogroll, feel free to do so because technically we’re no longer alive. I’ll miss ya’ll, and shall continue commenting as much as I can, mostly on topics I can relate to!

P.S. THIS IS THE WORST SHIT EVER, RIGHT?! I have no idea what to say … even now! But when I saw that I had three paragraphs going, I felt the urge to write a little bit more, to share my fun experience I had with blogging, and to … tell you guys how much I’ll miss everything, and that includes watching anime (now I just can’t seem to bear it). Even though I comment every now and then, it’s still not the same, you know? But anyway, love you love you love you love you. Good luck in the future, and Shin, I hope you’re having loads of fun in Australia. I know our internet sucks but it’s a pain you must learn to endure for the sake of survival! And to Landlord Randall, I know I’m not that cool and this post proves it, but what happens to Yukan from now on is entirely up to you, of course. I’m so sorry!
