Don't stop talking to me I haven't been listening.

About Me

Playing guitar. Just got a Gibson Les Paul Studio in Classic White with Chrome Hardware. Chillin and jammin with my lover Emily. Dancing with Apollo. Playing guitar and singing for a band called THE CRITICAL ACT (myspace.com/TheCriticalAct). I have a solo project called Petra The Poet, which was formely called Nous. I started that in 2003 and recently got back into it. It's more minimalistic and electronic than The Critical Act, but both are extremely awesome so check both out! I love pizza, especially my homemade variety. I enjoy reading books such as Ender's Game and House of Leaves. I am currently reading God's Debree and about to start Speaker For The Dead by Orson Scott Card.
I've been a licensed massage therapist for 3 years. Email me if you need one. Why I got into this? Basically, I wanted to do something that didn't confine me to a desk and that was humanly natural (no drugs). Considered being a Physical Therapist, but I didn't have the will power to go to school for that many years.
My main interest is music. Singing, writing, playing, recording, etc.
