I'm the normal dude in school, not really as popular, but not a person who has no friends, or has bullying problems either. I'm really the kid that kinda talks to everybody, has a close circle of friends, but cannot join the shallow nature of most friendships with "popular" kids, due to my intolerance of people like that. I really detest popular kids not because I have problems with them personally, but because of how the majority of them treat other, more unfortunate kids.
When I try befriending people, I look for people who don't have friends, and sit alone every day. My whole circle of friends of mine and I go to that person and talk. A lot of my closer friendships were forged this way.
There was an autistic child in my class, who had no friends. Everyone would patronize him, make fun of him, and treat him badly. My friends and I stepped in, and we called the bullies heartless jerks, and asked them why they were trying so hard to make people feel bad. Mind you, this was in the middle of the quad, where everyone was. People gather around, and lucky for us, they sided with my friends and I. This was literally one of the happiest moments in my life. Turns out, the autistic kid was a really good player in TF2, a game that I like too. We became awesome friends, and we are also the best team in TF2 you can find.
The best darn team. Ever.

Well, I'm not really sure that I would need two of the same yoyo if I'm focusing on 1a ha ha
i think he was saying buy one of them and they are great yoyos although I still think you should get a la gout How would this X^3 (X-cubed) yoyo compare to say a burnside or a supernova? Depends on the model. The LaGoutte is a great competition yoyo, but their wilder designs are funner. I'd say the Stampede is an all around great yoyo. Great grinds too. For me, I love the 888. All the people who say to not get an 888x are entitled to their own opinions, but many people do not know how to use it correctly, and thus, when they get their next yoyo, they think,"Wow, that 888x was a POS, why did I even get that? It's so unstable!" The walls are used for tilt control, and if you have a sloppy throw, it's going to tilt. If you're used to metal yoyos by now, you can use the walls to your advantage, but so many people complain about the highwall. It's there for a reason! It's for tilt control! It really is a spectacular yoyo though. If you aren't used to it, it will probably come across as unstable for you. I learned almost everything on mine. It's a really good yoyo, but it's not one that takes mistakes very easily. Otherwise, my other best undersize would be the CYYC Gullwing. So quick and zippy, while actually being very stable.

thanks for the replies guys
so now i'm heading for the code 1 or 2
is there a huge differences between these 2 ?
Yes. I personally like the Code1 better. It gives a really fun feel to it in my opinion, and it's really bouncy and nice. Code2 is pure competition yoyo. It's stable, and it's much wider than Code1. I'd say it plays better, but not as fun as the 54 or code1.

UPDATE:  Okay! I'll probably get some heat from this. But curiosity got the best of me and I didn't wait the full 24 hours (my reasoning being that it's a pretty thin layer of silicone, so it doesn't need to cured the full time. I was maybe 5 hours short of 24). Anyway, it plays great! I've actually never had the proper response to this since I got it from the BST last December. The response someone jammed into it was maybe a mm above the recess, which resulted in very snaggy play. This is perfect! Granted, maybe a mod will be a better solution in the long run since I'm not sure how long this silicone will last given how shallow the well is. But I don't really mind. This is great! It'll probably rip apart pretty soon. I played my thin-pad YYR with onedrop .555 pads or Chaz Pads. You just have to cut them a little.

Pink Floyd makes me sleepy....
If Pink Floyd makes you sleepy, then you need to listen to Joy Division's final album, Closer. It will literally rock you to sleep. And it'll leave you feeling depressed afterwards. Closer has to be one of the most depressing albums I've listened to.
