Feeling Worried
Update and Stuff
This is just an update/alert in case anybody's wondering why it's been so friggin long since I've updated this thing.
Since moving to college, I don't have AOL anymore (although sarahchickie22 is still my AIM name), so it's a bit more hassle to get onto the AOL blogs site. I totally forgot that this existed until recently when I was e-mailed about it.
Because of that, I started a LiveJournal instead. You can find it here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/timecanwait
You can also find me on Myspace or Facebook. Just type in my name, Sarah Mobry, and you'll find my page.
Thanks for reading. This will probably be the last time I post here, so thanks for reading, and maybe I'll see you on my LJ!

Feeling Quiet
Hearing Rise Against - Siren Song of the CounterCulture
The State of the Sarah Address
So now the clock is ticking. Three of my friends are already at school, another is leaving Monday, the community college starts Monday, my best friend leaves on Thursday, another close friend leaves Friday, and then it's my turn. It's so hard to believe that I have less than two weeks left in Minnesota. Believe me, I am happy to go... it's just, well, I guess I'm afraid. There are so many unknowns: what if I don't make friends? What if I get lost? What if no one sits by me in class? What if I get there and find out that I'm missing something important? What if I am late to class?

new e-mail changes
Just wanted to leave a note for everyone about the following changes in my accounts.
1. Whitedove72287, my other AOL screen name, no longer exists. I deleted it due to inactivity and irrelevance. After I recovered this screen name, the other one was no longer necessary.
2. My new e-mail is mobrys01@northland.edu . This will be my primary e-mail from now on. Other e-mails that will remain active include hurley_guitarchick@hotmail.com (checked about once a week) and sarahmobry05@yahoo.com (checked about once a week). My Northland email will be checked daily. mobry001@tc.umn.edu , my old college email, will be inactive as of September 1st (although I haven't checked it in over a month anyway).
3.If you want to actually talk to me, I have MSN messenger, AIM, and Yahoo messenger. My AIM account name will be changing as I will be downloading it to my laptop and will need a new account. I'll keep you posted as to that name change.
Any questions? Email me at mobrys01@northland.edu . Thanks for being patient with me as I change all this stuff.

Hearing The Strokes
Life After High School- Countdown: 20 days
Well, last night my friends and I got together for "the Talk"...no, not what you're thinking about. The conversation ranged from our plans to the next couple of weeks to who we think will stay in touch after college. We basically just discussed how little time we have left together, and how the arguments that people are in are stupid because they really don't matter in the long run. We are all very stressed out with our own preparations for college, and it's becoming hard to find time for each other within our schedules. We aired out all the issues between us, and surprisingly, it stayed calm, and everyone was really nice and open-minded about it. I think people actually listened to each other for once. It was probably the only time we've hung out this summer that I haven't felt an extreme amount of tension between us.
I've known for a long time that I won't be able to stay in touch with everyone. If I tried, I would be online or on the phone constantly. Actually, I've already lost touch with a few of my friends. And you know what? That's ok. It's not like I don't care enough about them to stay in touch with them, it's just that I realize it's impossible to do in some cases. I really enjoyed the time I spent with them, but it's just time to recognize that the day will come when I have to say goodbye. I'll have the good memories I shared with them, but it's just no longer feasible to call each other a lot or hang out in person. It's a tacit realization...no one has the heart to actually say "I love you, but I'm sorry, I'm just not going to stay in contact with you"...but it's one of the most important things I've discovered this summer.
In talking to my friends over the last few months, I've learned a lot about them and their lifestyles, and I've learned a great deal about myself as well (both good things and bad). But over those movies, pot lucks, graduation parties, and gallons of ice cream, I think our whole group learned a lot about dealing with people. About friendship, trust, honesty. About the relationships that last, and the ones that are for seemingly a moment in our hectic lives. And most importantly, about loving people even when we don't agree with them. There are people in this group that I thought I would actually be happy to leave. But now that that time is drawing near, I am beginning to realize how close I have grown to them, and how much they mean to me, and how much I mean to them. Like it or not, they have made an impact on my life, they have become a part of my heart. And even when I lose touch with them, that's not going to change. No span of miles or number of years is going to change the fact that they taught me something about life. They grew with me, changed with me, laughed and cried with me, matured with me, and explored life with me. That kinship is a sacred connection that may fade, but never disappear. My life is forever different because of each and every friend I have made.
OK, so I'll move on. I'll find new friends. I'll lose touch with some, and grow distant from some. I'll stay in touch with some. I'm going to accept my losses and move on...it's what we all do when dealing with huge changes like this. It's all we can do. But all is not lost--for in every new friendship and relationship, a fragment of my current friendships will exist. Things that I learned from one of my best friends, Maddi, will impact the friendships I have with my college friends. The compromises I learned when staying with my friends over Sonshine will help me get along with my roommate. And I've learned the most important thing in all relationships...love. As cheesy as it may sound, it's true. Love weathers all hardships in any relationship. Love is a guardwall between hearts that strengthens and protects us. Love stands above broken trust, betrayal, failure, and disagreement. Love may fade or wane sometimes but it will never, never disappear completely. As I move into the most uncertain time of my life thus far, I know that the love I feel for my friends will carry me through even the darkest of my days.
Thank you, my friends, for making my life what it is. Without you, I would be nothing.

I have another journal
I have a journal on Gaia as well, so I kind of forgot about this one (sorry).
The only news I have for now:
My friend's dad is in the hospital right now, and may have to have bypass surgery. It's pretty scary, and we're all concerned about him. I think he'll be okay, though.
I've been working eight hour shifts about three days a week, so I'm not home a whole lot. And when I am, I'm busy. So I'm not online as much as I would like to be. Sorry if you are going through Sarah withdrawals :-)
Anyways, I'm off to another seven hour shift at work so I have to go. Talk to y'all later!

Hearing veggietales...don't ask lol
gaah
first things first. On my birthday I ended up skipping the movie and instead a few friends of mine went out to a Christian lounge/club in Minneapolis...it was really fun. I would like to go back to that club sometime soon. It's still a club but without all the sex-crazed horny teenagers trying to cop a feel. one of my other friends and her boyfriend met us there too and he actually didn't piss me off that night. a few days before I was about ready to smack him because I went shopping with him and every other word that came out of his mouth was either "fucK", "fag" or some other obscenity. plus the whole night he was making homophobic comments and as you all know I am not usually friends with people like that. argh.
anyway i kept my mouth shut because whatever...the hate he feels is going to come back to him someday. plus whatever it's none of my business what he believes in. i will just sleep well at night knowing that i am a tolerant and accepting person and I choose to love people for their personalities and not whether they are gay or straight.
yeah so on with the other stuff. Apparently while I was out of town for my cousin's wedding, all of my "groupie" got in a major drama-fest again and decided to create yet another soap-opera episode. you've gotta be kidding me, right? I mean seriously I wonder sometimes when these people are just going to get over their issues and be friends again... for God's sake, people, we're all leaving in a month anyway so why the hell are we starting all this stuff now? Just deal with the people you don't like for another month and then it will all be over with anyway. If you don't like them, you don't have to hang out with them anymore. gawrsh.
sometimes i wish i had another group of friends to hang out with so I could escape all of this nonsense without sacrificing my social life completely.

Hearing Pillar- "Dirty Little Secret"
My Birfday :-D
I am 18 years old now! Hooray! It's funny, though, because I really am not going to take advantage of it for a while... I mean I won't be able to vote for a while, I don't gamble so I'm not going to go to a casino or buy lottery tickets, I'm not into strip clubs or porn or any of that... ya know? There's really not much I can do. Instead, I am going to go see the new Hayao Miyasaki film, Howl's Moving Castle. It's only showing at a theater that's like a half hour away, which kind of sucks, but I think it will be worth it. Anyway, I will have to go shopping until rush hour dies down, so (oh shucks) I might have to mosey into the manga section at the bookstore and buy myself a little birthday present. he he . OK well I am going to go finish checking my mail and such so I can get on with my anticlimactic birthday, lol.

Hearing Mourning September
New Bands That Rock
Today I thought I'd share some good bands with anyone who is looking for a new sound to listen to.
Mourning September-they were at Sonshine two years in a row, which is cool, and they rocked both years. They have a unique sound, but they are a tad bit like a lighter version of Fuel combined with like five other bands... lol. OK so they are hard to describe. Anyway their website is down right now but I'll link it when it's back up.
The Awkward Romance- they are a new band out of the southern US... they have a hard rock sound and they are also different than any other band's sound... they are also hard to describe so I won't even try. Their website is here.

Feeling Chillin'
Hearing random songs that are stuck in my head :-)
Back from Sonshine! ! !
Just thought I'd say a few words about Sonshine. I returned home about 11am today, exhausted and sunburned, but full of spirit and faith. We left on Wednesday morning. Anyway, I went to see a lot of concerts including:
Mourning September, Switchfoot, Philmore, Relient K, Audio Adrenaline, Newsboys, Roper, Casting Crowns, Mercy Me, etc.
It was a pretty good weekend. The music was not quite as good this year but we had fun neighbors at the campsite, so that was fun. There were some... social issues between the members of our group, and I kind of wish we had talked about it, but we didn't. A lot of times the people in our group decide it's better to keep stuff to themselves. Which is OK to a point but then when people get angry it's a massive explosion instead of a tiny spat. Anyway.
Yeah I have to go now, so I'll try to write again soon. Bye for now!

Hearing Mourning September
Sonshine
I have probably already talked a lot about Sonshine, but now that I am officially going I figure I'd better put up a direct link and stuff. My forum, at http://p2.forumforfree.com/proverbialsunri.html , has a lot more about Sonshine on it so I won't explain too much. But here's a link to the official site.
http://www.sonshinefestival.com
You can buy tickets today for $68.50 or anytime until July 13th for $75. Day passes are $39. Camping is included for all tickets!
