as some of you may know, I am throwing my stock Metal Drifter by Duncan and my Yomega raider of r 2A for the rest of the year in celebration of Edcember. day 1: great, no problemo. Day 2: awesome. Still going strong from this rush of heroism. šŸ˜› Day 3: friction stickers wearing down. no one in the entire state of rhode island sells stinking friction stickers. none in stock at YYE, and i donā€™t want to order them online anyway, because I have to go through the inventory while constantly hearing ā€œhey, Pajama man, why donā€™t you buy me?ā€ in my head. all the while my Supernova is sitting on my desk, chilling like ā€œhey, are the pads in your drifter going out? well, I have some fresh silicone in me, and Iā€™m really awesomeā€¦ā€ how are you guys doing in your endeavor? ---

Day 6: day 6 sucked. I was so darn tired after school, but then i had to play basketball and go to choir practice right after. I had no energy at all, and iā€™m still trying to recover. BLAH! šŸ˜› ---

Day 7: a lazy day overall. I am still kinda wiped from yesterday, but i threw a couple loops with my raider, and iā€™m getting pretty consistent with one inside loop. so i guess thatā€™s the first week. Alright! only three more. ---

I find that I am not throwing as often either. My Edcember throws are an Ann WHiP with a fixed axle sleeve, a pair of Loop 808ā€™s (currently only using one to learn on), and an Aquarius. With the fixed axle sleeve, the WHiP is very responsive and sleeps for about 20 seconds at most. I suck at looping, so thereā€™s not much to say there. The Aquarius is the silver sparkle 2007 Worlds edition. I got it brand new from a certain online yoyo store, and it came with a locked, over-lubed, somewhat rusty bearing. I guess thatā€™s to be expected from a 5-year-old yoyo though. ---

Day 8: a great way to start week two of Edcember is to get new friction stickers in the mail! (thanks modman!) They are still pretty grippy, and i hit myself in the face a couple of times. (ouch). but i think iā€™ve gotten them broken in enough to notā€¦ you now, hurt myself :P. Iā€™m still working on those inside loops, and i can do two consecutive ones maybe two or three times out of ten. I wonder what my Supernova plays likeā€¦ I forgotā€¦ ---

Day 9: yo-yoed literally all day, and have the injuries to prove it. ---

Day 10: Iā€™ve grown to hate the metal drifter. Itā€™s a nice enough yoyo, but after youā€™ve played with it exclusively for 10 days in a row, you grow to despise that hunk of metal. I practiced a bunch of loops, and hurt my hands and face multiple times. _sigh_ only 21 more daysā€¦ ---

Day 11: Iā€™m kind of getting settled into a routine. Finally. the metal drifterā€™s pads have almost gotten into an unresponsive state, so I havenā€™t gotten hurt as much as in the past couple of days. ---

day 12: nothing to report really, unless you count that i want a new yoyo so bad! or at least to be able to throw one of my favorites again. also the pads in my yoyo have gone kinda weird on me, so thatā€™s still up in the air. Iā€™ll be glad when this month is over. ---
