Mystery Solved

This morning, I decided to finally put some new tones into my pedal. I was supposed to have done this about three weeks ago... or perhaps even longer, but my memory doesn't go that far back. So anyway, last week, it took me a whole night to download and install GearBox (because I initially wanted Podfarm2 but it wouldn't work or I had some false info..) which is a program that will download some nice tones for me, then transfer them into my pedal. The great thing about Line 6 is that they provide this kind of free software for the hardware you buy. Anyway, I had a general idea of what kinds of tones I wanted, but there were so many of them that I got distracted and found myself clicking on wayyy tooo many tones - more than I could have. The other good thing about this program is that you can try out the tones on the spot. You have to simply plug in maybe 4-5 cords here and there and then hope that you connected them right - voila (insert accent)! Actually, it's not that hard since everything is labelled, but its a great big hassle to connect everything everytime I want to do something with my computer + pedal + guitar. Also sucks because I have to move everything from my room to another room because the computer in my room wasn't compatible with the soft/hardware etc. Long story short, I have to move everything to another room to do stuff. I was playing some random stuff when I noticed that strange feeling in my right thumb. I looked down and I saw the tiny little bump there, on the side of my thumb. On the side that I was sort of strumming the strings with. I caused my own finger to get a bump by playing without nails or a pick. How lovely. Yes, you read all that just to get to this hhahaa. =)
