ITT: Phox is not emo, but is inspired in that vein

[Phox]

Thanks. You know I feel better about this, we talked about it last night, remember? 

Yes, I know.  But I know you're still not on exactly comfy ground in the situation.

That's true. But it's just a matter of time. And I'm fine with that. 

We have PMs.  Just saying.

True 'nuff, but since the discussion related to the OP, I didn't see a reason to take it to PM.

Well, then, since this is a private conversation, I'll just see my way out.

My first amp was like a 15 watt Gorilla. And man, my 14 year old ass just loved to get the shittiest tones available on that thing. I think I did something like a reverse scoop and cranked the mids all the way up. I know better now.

OFUK!

Yeah, it was so weird sounding but for some reason I liked it. It had a very muffled sound like I put the amp in a cardboard box and threw some packing peanuts in for good measure.

[Phox]

I've never really tweaked the mid on my amp. I should try it out sometime.

Might work better on a Peavey. Gorilla wasn't known for its awesome tones 
I don't know what happened to it, but I probably sold it to Daddy's Junky Music to get some money for something else. If so I probably got $20.

In my later teen years I actually had a cabinet with a tube head. Don't remember what brand it was, just that I bought it off of some guy for about $100 that had advertised for it in some local publication or another. Had to get rid of that one too though, due to its size and that I went for a couple of years without being in a band. That one was awesome and it's too bad I didn't keep it, but it would have been a pain in the ass to transport when I did start gigging. Wouldn't have been feasible to have until about 2 months ago when the band got a van.

Yeah.
I like my Peavey.

[Phox]

So, yeah. I did it. I didn't mean to. I didn't want to. Okay, I wanted to, but I didn't want to want to. But I knew it would happen, in the deepest part of me. 

It was Christmas. I didn't want to be alone on Christmas. My family hates me, and my beloved was a million miles away. What's the harm? I mean, we're still friends. It wasn't like we were going to have sex or anything. But I'm just sucker with no self-esteem.

And then it happened. Okay, no big deal. We used to all the time. Nothing's different, right? And besides, she still loves me. She didn't drink that much. It's not like she was just trying to hurt me again. What does she need to do that for? I hurt myself enough as it is, because I'm a loser with no self-esteem.

I know, I should have said no. Kinda hard when she's ready to go. I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb, just a sucker with no self-esteem.

[East Coast Hustle]

That song sucked then, and it hasn't gotten any better with age.

But take heart, pretty soon your Big Boy pants will arrive in the mail and when you put them on you'll realize that sex is, well, just sex and there's no reason to let it mess with your head.

What the hell are they teaching you kids in school these days, anyway?

[AFK]

Also, that song ripped off the Smells Like Teen Spirit riff.  Which was a rip-off of the Pixies.

This song always cheers me up when I'm feeling down. Listen carefully to the lyrics for full effect.

If you want to chat about it sometime, just let me know.

Who, in turn, ripped off Little Richard.

Thanks, Kai. May take you up on that in the near future.

Ain't it the truth?

I really like that song. And that guy has a great voice. Thanks, Faust.
