# About me
I am more of a writer than an artist (but I'll still do my best with my art--I finally took down my hand-drawn profile pic b/c I know it wasn't pretty; this is just a digitally manipulated photo). When I was younger, I used to make up stories to match the pictures in the books I had. My grandmother told my mom to encourage my writing in every way she could. She did. I hope it shows in my writing.She also trained me in art (she's a professional artist) and I hope some of what she taught me actually helps me with my drawings. I'll keep practicing and working hard so that someday I can be as good as some of the Deviants here.
My current occupation is adjunct professor; I'm currently working towards grad school so I can become a full-time professor...either that or a librarian. I just want to be surrounded by good books. What I'd really like to do for a living, though, is write...and I'm working on that one too.
Current Residence: A very cold and dark place called "the basement"
deviantWEAR sizing preference: XL (I really need to loses 20 lbs)
Favorite genre of music: anything but hard or metal rock and emo...basically anything that sounds like screaming
Favorite photographer: my father
Favorite style of art: varies by my mood
MP3 player of choice: don't have one currently...most of my current music listening is on youtube
Favorite cartoon character: America (Axis Powers Hetalia)
Personal Quote: Never explain. Your friends don't need you to, and your enemies won't believe you anyway.

I'm one pokemon away from having 100 entries in the pokedex! Now maybe it's because I walk a lot or because I know of three really good spawns nearish me (one for dratini, another for vulpix, and one that has an insane amount of charmanders) but truthfully I think it's solely because Blanche expects her followers to excel, spark's too laid back and candela's too busy being fan service. All hail queen Blanche! Β

Yes. *throws confetti half-heartedly* hooray for the queen of blue things. At least you're getting a dratini and vulpix...and charmanders. All I seem to have come near me are pidgeys, geodudes, paras, and ratata. Ugh, I'm so sick of all these paras...I don't like insects XP And I'm not nearly as close as that...I'm only at 56 pokemon b/c I can only catch them where there's WiFi (I can't afford a smartphone cellular plan at this moment--I'm living off my savings and I only have about $1000 left)

Oh no I have to make a special trip for those (I know of locations where they are but it's quite a drive so I've only done each once) I've only caught two geodude so far. Wait you get ratatas and pidgeys! That's so lucky! (Ain't I a stinker? ) And do not belittle the Queen! (A friend and I discussed whether she was a woman until we googled it, I was fine either way but she wanted to know because she likes the ladies and was curious) I'd be at even less than you except for the fact that my school is a pokespot, I am one handsome, lucky guy!
*throws confetti full-heartedly like he does everything*
Rawr! Hooray for Poisonous Tiger, she's a double whammy, if they gave it out for writing, she'd totally win a grammy!
*Shakes hips and pumps fists*
With razor sharp claws and meat you cannot eat, this kitty's a double header, you cannot get much deader!

Running out of steam, this train's lost it's locomotion, but hey that's okay because PT's worth all this commotion!

Grrr. you are a stinker. I've not signed up for a cell plan so I can only go where there's wifi T_T you should pity me, not mock me. j/k I'm ok with it. My school is stupid full of pokestops (b/c it's a university that's been around since the late 1800s. I know that's not saying much since some schools like Harvard have been around since the 1636, but for a school in the West, it's an impressive amount of history and lots of landmarks to place pokestops at).
*blushes: Thanks for that poem ^_^ it made my week (even if some of it was a little tigerish).

You say that like Tiggerish is a bad thing. You know the most wonderful thing about Punders? I'm the only one! I'm glad I could make your week, nothing helps one feel better than to make someone else feel better. Dunno you're a teacher shouldn't I respect rather than pity you? Because I could never pity someone as great as you! *Throws left over confetti at you* I makes it rain! No that's not a typo! I incorporated the fact you have poison into that poem, no easy feat but I'm a poet and I decided to show it. Yeah well MY school has been around for like, four years? There's a lot of history there! It used to be a business center! It has a whopping one pokestop! I'd tell you what was on the other three corners (it's at an intersection) but I don't think you'd like the answer...Punder the master of mystery.

It can be if sheep keep asking you out and all you can think is "You don't want to date me. I'll eat you alive with you screaming in panic the whole time." So instead you just say "no" without explaining why and then feel badly about the rejection when you see the poor little lamb's ego get crushed. You are the only one *pats on back*...
Anyway...you *should* respect me, yes. But you should pity me when it comes to PokemonGo b/c I'm surrounded by Pidgeys and ratatas and can't seem to catch up with anyone in my team (btw I talked to other Yellow team members the other day and we determined there really are only a few of us, but the fun thing about that is that we can attack a whole bunch of gyms. As one of the Yellows there said, "It's our job and pleasure to take down gyms" *evil grin*. So I laughed and said that must be the Yellow mission statement and maybe that's why no one likes us XD
Yes, it was a nice poem...it could use a little more density and imagery but it was still decent.
XD *pats head* you poor dear...in just 3 on-campus buildings that are only a 10 min walk to visit all of them there are 8 pokestops and in our gardens nearby those buildings there's 7 pokestops (but the gardens are like 3-buildings worth in size) so I'm guestimating (b/c I haven't counted) that we have over 30 pokestops on campus.
don't tell me...it's probably naughty...j/k

Punderstatement In reply to PoisonousTiger [2016-09-17 20:07:17 +0000 UTC]
Not going to lie (because I never do) I had to reread the first part of that sentence a few times because at first I was like, "Wait no one has asked me out this week. Is tiger drunk?" Because I thought sheep was a typo for she and you were implying there was a girl constantly asking me out. But then I was like, "Oh tiger's being asked out by sweet guys who can't handle her! Yay!" People say you should feel good about it since it's a compliment but I countered with, "If I can't be the partner of someone I don't want to seem attractive to them, it's just going to cause them pain." I'm sorry you're drawing a harem of followers, but it's good that you have mercy for them, poor little sheep, don't you realize the power ewe orig02.deviantart.net/5c79/f/2β¦ have over them?
I really do want to respect you! I do! But then you mentioned being on team instinct and then just pity arose. Β Don't you belittle my poem! (Shakes fist jokingly) You want density?!?! Well maybe you should divide the mass by the volume! And you want imagery?!?!? I'll give you imagery! www-scf.usc.edu/~jiyeonmo/itp1β¦ And two can animals.sandiegozoo.org/sites/β¦ play the gentle touching to show condescending nature game! *Rubs shoulder sadly* You poor sweet thing, it's about quality not quantity of your pokestops. *Shrug* I just reached 100 pokemon entries in my pokedex so I think I just schooled the teacher. Β Β Don't worry though maybe someday you can be as great as me!
And also because you put j/k I'm going to tell what's on the other corners anyway! A twin peaks (which is a strip joint, two guesses how it got the name) a hooters, and another strip joint. I made the joke that I know how some of the girls are paying for college but then later I overheard a girl saying she was going to go there to pay for college and I was like,"Oh it's not a joke, that's not good."

Impossible to be drunk: just talking in metaphors and forgot to warn you. XD I do better when the guy is a dragon, dog, boar or a horse (in case you haven't guessed by now, the Tiger part of my name comes from my Chinese zodiac). I unfortunately keep getting rats, sheep, and rabbits attracted to me (heaven knows why, I'm not their type at all). But these shy guys definitely can't handle me, especially when I come at them with all the fire and gusto that I tend to do in relationships. I do show them mercy: they get one date (and I show them my beautiful stripes, lovely teeth and claws and relentless heart and if they're still interested after that, I'll let them have a second date, but usually I scare them away pretty quickly).
Hmph! I love my team, nothing you say will make me feel less of myself because I'm on the yellow team. That's the wrong kind of density, you goose.Β Density in poetry is referencing meaning and depth. A poem that lacks density isn't necessarily bad; in fact, this on the fly one was pretty fun and a good read. It just means that I can't really explore the poem beyond my initial reading, that's all. Oh my pokestops are quality ones: I can get 3-4 pokeballs out of one stop, multiply that by 50....you get the picture. You may have schooled me for the moment but since I last wrote, I finally broke down and activated the smartphone my cousin gave me as a
gift. So far I've caught over 500 in the pokeballs, but I only have 125
that are in my "backpack" as permanent residents. Hee hee I made up for
lost time. Only complaint is the smart phone is a iPhone 4S and it
crashes the game quite often and I can't enter any gyms (the whole game
just shuts down the instant I tap on the gym). Meh, I'm okay with that
since I enjoy catching and evolving the ones I have (and trying my
hardest to catch the ones I haven't registered to the pokedex yet).
O_O I'll never use j/k again.

Yeah I figured that's what the tiger part was from but I didn't credit the rest of the animals to it (mostly I remember the Chinese zodiac from Jackie Chan Adventures, what a show, does it annoy you that that's the first thing that comes to mind for me? I hope so.Β ). I just googled what I'd be in the Chinese zodiac and the fact it identifies me as a rat (Jan 1) I was going to call it a load of bull but then I looked at what the rat was about, said to be intense and powerful individuals capable of great good(I am all that is good), who make great leaders (indeed) but are rather unpredictable (DAMN RIGHT I AM). Are said to be intelligent, magnanimous, charismatic, charming, authoritative, confident, eloquent and artistic (oh you're so true and so kind), but can be manipulative, jealous(YOU BEEN TALKING TO OTHER COMMENTATORS TIGER? HAVE YOU?!?!?! hehehe j/k [which is mine now since you gave it up]), selfish, aggressive, vindictive or deceitful . The rats are buddies with monkeys and dragons so yeah the zodiac has me to a tee. I mean I can see not liking goats or bunnies but I guess ze mighty tiger has never heard the story of the lion and the mouse, which is basically the tiger and the rat, you could have someone willing to remove thorns from paws whenever you needed it (I was going to make a joke about another term for having a thorn in you, it's brilliant but ot your sense of humour) do not dis my rat brothers and sisters, we shall rule the world and if you annoy us we'll make the tigers into our mounts! We'll let the horses run free and make the kitties do the work! Bwhahahahaha!
You know I know what density in a poem refers to. English was my best subject in high school! I shake my fist at you once more, next you'll try to tell my that alliteration alludes to the almost absolutely asinine amount of repetition of the first letter. Me a smarty pants, honor roll for life! (So you could say I've (h)on a roll, I made that pun to all my family)
Still way behind me my poor instinct, I tend to have 225 permanent residents and am well beyond 500 caught and have slain many a gym. It's not a contest which is good because otherwise you'd be losing quite badly I'm afraid! The power of Mystic is unstoppable!

Eh, it doesn't bother me. My younger siblings were into that show. I was too busy with school to watch more than one or two eps. I've heard that story and my brother (who is also one of my best friends) is a rat: I just don't get along with rats romantically that's all. And I don't get along with monkeys at all: I have yet to meet someone born in the year of the monkey who wasn't antagonistic towards me, so ... You could never make me work for you, never. X3
Some poems are just fun. That's the poem you wrote on the fly for me: I still like it, and it still did its job by cheering me up. I didn't mean to seem snobbish; I'm sorry if I offended.
Eh,Β Β You're right: it's not a contest. I only play for fun. I don't care about competing with others.

Daw I could never make you work for me? *flips hair majestically* Honey you couldn't handle me. I'm a sexy stallion of wonder and magic! And of course I didn't think you were snobbish! You know I'm just teasing you! Β It's my thing! I play for fun too just like I play with you for fun! Still it's really great to hear from you, was a little worried you were overworking yourself like I was and that was no fun at all. Now you've got me wondering if I know anyone born in the year of the monkey...hmm...are you the animal based on the year you were born or the month? Because year wise I'm a goat but month wise I'm a rat and my hour animal is a tiger so which is me? It's the internal one right because I totally want to be a rat now. And all my poems are fun!

Mostly b/c you couldn't afford me. My level of expertise is pretty high and deserves a decent wage. heh I know you're like that but I still worried b/c when I critique someone's writing, I tend to tell the honest truth as opposed to flattering their ego and fluffing their pride. I am overworking myself a little: it takes me a couple of weeks to really get things figured out for the semester.
I'm basing it off of the year. I'm not certain what my month ad hour are...I don't know...what website have you used to determine those things.

I had a good one for my family the other day and they didn't get it: I play Pokemon Go (mostly for nostalgia sake...the show was around when I was a young adult). Among other pokemon, I've captured two Weedles so far. One has a combat power of 15 points; the other 118. One neat gimmick in this game is that you can give your pokemon nicknames. I told my brother-in-law and sister that I was going to name one "Hillary" and the other "Trump". My brother-in-law laughed and said, "and then make them fight and whoever wins is who you'll vote for?" I replied, "I hadn't considered that, but it sounds interesting: I might just do that. Actually, I haven't renamed them yet." My sister frowned and asked, "Why not?" I grinned (they walked right into my punchline), "Because I haven't decided which is the lesser of two Weedles." *wah wah wha* ...yeah, they didn't laugh. Grinned, but didn't laugh. I must have delivered the punchline wrong. Maybe I'll have to try it again when my students start talking about Pokemon Go (then I won't laugh or grin too much as I deliver the pun).

I appreciate the offer but I'm not the one who left. That was WinterLake25 (who left dA a while ago).Β I'm the new admin who took over for her. For the longest time, it was just me and ShortOtaku (shortotaku.deviantart.com/ ) and then she left dA for who knows how long, so if you'd like to be an admin I'll be happy to invite you (if I have those permissions...not sure how much power SO gave me when she left).
I'll start you out as an admin for now, and then promote you if the need arises. I will warn you: we haven't had much going on lately. I'm not sure how to revive the group either. My own group is a little one you see and so I don't know how to garner large active groups. Any suggestions or help you want to give me will also be appreciated.
