really your in DC that is sweet I'm here for a few if you wanna throwdown. My sis is getting a stem cell transplant at NIH (best hospital in USA) right outside DC if you wanna meet up and throw. I'm from chicago and dont know anyone out here. And i just yoyoed for the pediatric ward here.
I guess it's all up to the circumstances. If I'm asked to yoyo in class or something I get really nervous but if I'm throwing at the mall and someone asks me something it's easier or even when I start on my own
The other day in cpu graphics... i had to take out my yoyo cause i was sitting down, and it was really uncomfortable. Anyways, some recognized it as a yoyo and asked me to do tricks. I gave in and i was halfway through the combo when i noticed the teacher looking. i got really nervous but I finished it off with a thigh bind. i realized that like half the kids in the class were watching. I bowed. that was fun day. The teacher said that it was really cool.
