Well, well, well! Lookie here! [As];;o n e has managed to get her computer to behave to such a point where she can begin making site images once more! What a shocker, no? Aside from fixing up side-table images, she's also got some more plans in the works for the site. This may require The Cellar Door to go down into maintancence mode for a short while, let's hope it doesn't have to go down at all! There will be some new shiny categories and even shinier boards. Be sure to keep checking in!
Again, from the previous news, the new submission guidelines will not take effect until further notice. Please stay tuned!

Well, The Cellar Door may be under construction for a longer time than was originally anticipated. [As];;o n e's laptop finally kicked the bucket, scuttled off of its mortal coil and gone to sing with the bleeding choir invisible, and thus, all of her work with the site's graphics has gone with it. It's not like we never saw it coming but still, it's rather distressing to say the least. So for those of you new to The Cellar Door, please excuse the altogether unfinished look of the site. We're also unsure of how long it may take to replace her hard drive, wish us luck!

The Cellar Door is back up and running! You can probably tell that there are some things still under construction for the new version, but everything's functional and ready! If you haven't guessed, the new version is "Because the Sky is Blue" so please remember to change your active skin from your profile! Also, the new change in submission guidelines will not take effect for a few more weeks; we can't critique and comment works that aren't here, now can we?

My hands quiver in fear. My heart speeds away from me like a bat out of hell. I go between muttering and screaming nonsense rhymes. Thoughts of doubt, guilt, regret. My mind crawls ever so slowly, ever so closer to the edge of sanity. Today is one of the better days.
Since I get the feeling only one person will read this, I'll just go ahead and say "Mae govannen, nin melethril." Anyway, I'm writing a song right now at my piano (NO YOU MAY NOT HEAR ME PLAY IT NOR MAY YOU SEARCH THROUGH MY STUFF FOR THE LYRICS)* and it's giving me some trouble. The bass is coming along well enough, and the melody is under construction, but I'm still waiting for the lyrics to surface from the ocean of my mind. OCEAN OF MY MIND!!! I CAN USE THAT!!! I want the song to show people the rise of the darkness within, the first glimpse of the eternal moonlight, the failure to contain the darkness, its eventual fall, and end with finding the moonlight again. Needless to say, I'm planning a shitload of key changes.
*(There are two conditions you must fulfill to hear the song. One, you must help me to write it. Two, I'll tell you tomorrow.)

Pain for pain. Sorrow for sorrow. Sickness for sickness. Life for life. Health for health. Joy for joy. Peace for peace.
Life is worth living, but only when you truly get to LIVE it. I can't LIVE without her. I can see, but she's all that's worth looking at. Pictures and sketches are not enough, though. I can hear, but I only want to listen to her. A recording of her voice doesn't cut it. I can taste, but nothing compares to my favourite taste. Mmm, minty! I can smell, but without her pleasing aroma the air goes stale. Sandalwood. I can touch, but I'd much rather feel her near me. Hands so soft, skin so fair. Why can't she be near me again?
You may hold a knife between my eyes, but I will never flinch so long as it is you behind the knife.
I turn sixteen tomorrow! I'm prepared to party all weekend long. Tomorrow night I'm gonna see The Vampire's Assistant with some friends, and I've got a date on Sunday with an amazing girl I've been in classes with for, oh let's see... seven years! I used to have a crush on her in fifth grade, but thankfully she doesn't remember that.
As for my ex, I wish her all the best. I briefly, and regrettably, was bitter about things, but now I think what she did was best for both of us. Hopefully she can accept my apology, beat the shit out of me, and we can move on. My view on people you've loved and lost is quite simple: two people can just misinterpret their feelings for each other. The feelings were there, of course, but we mistook them for something else. I hope we can reevaluate our feelings together soon, because I'll never stop caring about her.

I can't believe I got a free cake, a TNBC button, and candy from people on my birthday. I also can't believe that I had to bury a bloody squirrel and drink fish crap. All in all, a most interesting birthday.

Trippy weekend. Had some brownies. Now I realise that you should ask how strong they are before eating half the tray. But I fell in love again. With the music of Nyhm. Heh heh heh, HIGH elves.... "Hi, I'm Vic Mignoga, and I'm a warlock. I can even do.... ALCHEMY."
