Things you learned at the cellar

Without the cellar, I wouldn't have known that "camel toad" wasn't quite right.

I have learned not only to accept that I need the Cellar more than the Cellar needs me but also to appreciate that as the very reason why.

I learned that words can be looked at saw from the side.

I've learned that the world, which can seem so cold and mean, is full of wonderful people.

I haven't learned a thing. It was all in one ear and out the other.

That's what happened to 2008. In one year and out the other.

I've learned that my life is and has been uneventful to the point of boring.

I've also learned to be happy about this, which I wasn't always.

The niceness of the people nulls my annoyance with the search function.

It is like asking the worker at a store where such and such is only to find out if you turn around and look yourself you'll find it.

You may get better results by searching Google and typing "site:cellar.org" after your search term(s).

shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings

And that there are awesome festivals all over the world (tomato fight, squirt gun fight, naked bicycling) everywhere except near me.

I need to move.

People are basically good. This is really news to me. When you deal with insane, borderline, manipulative people all the time (back me up here, wolf) you can grow a little disillusioned with the human race (yourself included)
