About Me:
I'm a big nerd. My profile name is from Star Wars. Back in the day I chatted with other Star Wars nerds in a majestic place called Holonet, so of course I needed a handle that would prove my nerd superiority to the other nerds. In Episode 4: A New Hope, Obi-Wan cuts off the arm of a violent alien named Ponda Boba, who just happened to belong to a species of water-planet-dwelling aliens with peach colored tusks on their faces. Tusks that happened to look like butts. So I went by the name of buttfacedponda, but as I grew older, I felt I needed something more streamlined, more...well, let's face it, something more mature. I felt that rockinponda would be suitable, as it showcases both my favorite genre of music, and, more subtlely, my nerdiness. So there you have it. My origins. Not that anyone asked, but after all, every superhero needs a bitchin origin story.
Interests:
I LOVE movies, I adore comic books, I feel most alive when I'm at rock concerts, I like to read, I mainly came here for AFI, I watch more tv than I ought to watch, I'm writing and illustrating my own comic book about a vampire woman named Lily, It's fairly rare., She's badass to the extreme, and I think I should get a discount at the comic shop for being a cute girl who loves comics, and now I thoroughly enjoy the QOTD forum, and now that I'm back from college, around the house, but unfortunately I don't have much time to work on it these days, draw, in my head...you get the point, in the car, in the pit, paint, screaming my head off and being moderately violent, sing in the shower, then found MCR stuff
