Memoirs of a USMer: Bama Blast 2007 (Day 2)--by Emi

Karen went around the next day to people's rooms to wake them up. She was determined to get everyone there nice and early. This would be the biggest day, filled with water fights, karaoke, and the BBQ!

The water fight began early, with Karen filling up a water balloon to hit Wye with. She broke it over his head, and suddenly Jeff (Chops) came after her with a water gun. We headed to KMart after this to get more water guns (I was the only one that didn't look like a drowned rat at the time) and saw George and Ginger there. They asked about the water guns, and Jeff sent George off in the direction of the isle they were in.

And so started the water fight. It lasted pretty much the entire day, on and off. There would be times of rest, and then when everyone seemed dry enough, it would begin again. The funniest part was probably George, who walked around the entire pavilion with his water gun and hitting people on the back.

"It will cool you down!"

If you have ever wanted to hit George with a water gun, this was the time to do it. lol.



The BBQ was wonderful, though Wylie ended up getting sick afterwards. He got too hot, so Karen soaked down our two towels to put around his neck. Later I got too hot, which lead to my normal closing up and sitting by myself. So, sorry for that guys. Those who were witnessing me just kind of sitting there, this is why.

We took the big group picture right before karaoke began, and then signed people's books. I think you forgot to sign mine, Prissy. :( So I'll be making you do it later!



And to the karaoke...

Videos are posted at the end of that page, which tells a lot more than I could ever try to write. It was a lot of fun though.



At the end of the night, it was time for Kiara and Chops to start leaving.



Karen and I were both pretty sad, and ended up crying. I just couldn't help it. Jeff gave me a hug and told me he was proud of me, and that made me cry even more. I can't begin to explain to you all how much they mean to me, and how close I am to them, but I'm sure many could understand.

We went back to the room and watched more YouTube videos before going to bed. Oh, we also wrote that "Phantom Crow is my hero" post while she sat back and helped dictate it. It was hilarious.

"It sounds like you're writing a love letter to her, Wylie!"

Karen: "If I hadn't helped write this, I would be like... what?"
