Chernaudi's blog and random stuff...
Not really. It's seemed to be that way off and on for a while. It's counter intuitive, since normally people have more free time on their weekends, but I guess that maybe people come on here during the week on their free time to either blow off steam or as a distraction from work.

POLL; WHO IS APOLLYON?
To me, it's either Murakami or someone new to the Guyver universe. If it's Murakami and he's not gone after Sho yet, either he's acting on his own accord (IE, Alky's not controlling him for whatever reason), or Alky is commanding him and he, as result, has an ulterior motive. But it could be a surprise, too, as to who Apolyon is

That doe seem to be the pattern here. Usually around the time a new Guyver chapter comes out, activity peaks. But the forum this weekend was kinda slow. Saturday was good, but Sunday and Monday were kinda slow. It seems that people are more active during the week than on weekends. That's the opposite of most forums I go to, where activity peaks on weekends. I don't know why that is on here.

Weather: how is it in your area, etc, etc...
It's cooler outside, but the air is stagnant in my house, so that means it's humid so I have the fan on to stay cool. It's supposed to rain off and on all week, but the temps will be down a bit.

Any of you guys having issues with You Tube?
Anyone having issues with watching You Tube videos? Namely that you have to refresh your page, sometimes repeatedly, to get them to load properly? Over the past couple of days, I've had issues with videos loading and even playing, and I've had to refresh several of them to get them to load and play properly without stopping? A YT/Google problem, or is it an internet problem (I have CenturyLink and I've never been exactly happy to put it lightly about their service where I live)?

My Guyver and Twilight Saga crossover fic that I've hinted at
One change and one other OC. Veronica will be a bit shorter than 5'8". Probably about 5'6" or a bit less. And one more OC: Vanessa, Jennifer's adopted sister, who'll look a bit like this: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.561658723884439.1073741827.507406099309702&type=3

Chernaudi's blog and random stuff...
Hi everyone. I don't feel as horrible as I did last night, though I still feel a bit out of it. I'm gonna try and look some stuff up this morning and see where my day takes me. I think it's the heat and humidity getting to me. That stuff often doesn't make me feel well. But hopefully my day will go better than yesterday, because I was just spent most of the day. I'll be back later

Basically. Main reasons I don't like it are snotty people and the 140 character limit.

Automotive thread.
I have an old book on various car engines, there's a whole section on steam engines developed in the 1960s. Photo of the new curbs in action at Le Mans: https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/t31.0-8/10271196_10152436577083798_8479332261837724686_o.jpg You might have to rewind this video, but here's a video of the test day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ5IWU_q2lo#t=133

Chernaudi's blog and random stuff...
Just woke up and sorta feel like crap. I'm feeling a bit better than I was when I got up, but I still feel wonky. I was typing something earlier, and I did think about that I love writing, even though, aside from the middle of this month until Sept, I'll won't be doing a ton of it probably, or at least not as much as I want to, until like Nov or Dec, especially if I head back to work soon. And this is in spite of being like the worst typist in the world--I only learned in High School and I didn't get an actual computer until after I graduated. I was also just thinking of the fact of how I write stuff, be it fan fic or explaining stuff in my posts. I've associated with women most of my life and I've also been highly inquisitive most of my life as well. And when women do take an interest in stuff that I'm interested in, I do feel that I need to explain stuff in detail. Not really "dumb down" stuff, because I do believe and know that women are highly intelligent and logical, but I do feel that I have to explain stuff in detail, be it a scene or character in my fan fic, or stuff on cars or aircraft of even firearms. Mostly because that's how I understand things when I don't have a visual. I need details and things to be explained. So it can be said that I "think like a woman" when I write, and if people say that about me, I don't take offense to that. That does mean, though, that Twitter is pretty damn useless to me. 140 characters is a helluva small space for me to express myself. That's why I spend a lot of time on Facebook where I can do that type of thing without the space consideration. I just kinda wanted to say that stuff above because I was thinking about it and such.

Feminenty vs masculinity: who knows, who cares?
This is the biggest thing I don't get. WHO says what fits what standard? Kinda goes back to something I said in Yuki's blog about people being more tolerant and open minded. We all think differently and have different values and perspectives. What fits one person doesn't necessarily fit another. Some guys might see me as gay because I'm into women's fashion and such. Well, I'm into world history, weapons, and motorsports. Then again, women who are into that stuff get categorized as tomboys and such, even if they're actually pretty feminine. And besides, I am sexually attracted to women. You don't know how much sometimes I want to tell these "world standards" to stick it. As I said, there's no such thing as "normal" in this world. "Normal" is what you make it. I feel a little drunk right now, since I got up and totally feel like crap--hot, sick, been trying to drink water to see if that helps, and it did a little. But I was thinking about this so I decided to post what I was thinking at this moment about the topic. You guys also may wanna check out my blog for some more stuff, namely my perspective on my writing style.

My Guyver and Twilight Saga crossover fic that I've hinted at
Another OC: Violet, Vernonica's sister. She'll look a bit like this: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.647531835322875.1073741839.523611434381583&type=3 https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.647960768613315.1073741840.523611434381583&type=3

Chernaudi's blog and random stuff...
Hi everyone. I'm up early this morning. Last night I got some pretty good sleep, thanks to my fan that I'll be taking to bed with me until we get the AC installed in our room. Audi had a good test at LM yesterday. Lead the morning session and set the third best time in the combined table for the sessions. Today I'll be looking up some stuff, watching some videos, and trying to do some gaming and fan fic work. Not to mention staying cool in such a humid environment. I'll be back later

Yuki's blog
Problem is as George Carlin said about 25 years ago, there's a bigot on every street corner it seems. People get scared when they're pushed out of their comfort zones and are confronted with something that's not "normal". There are those who don't understand or get confused by something "strange". But then there are those who are just flat out bigoted. I'm about to start to think of the world "normal" as a dirty word pertaining to people. Why? Because, really, what is "normal"? We're all not the same in any way, and that's even if we all share 99% of DNA with one another. We think differently, have different values and views, and so on. But if people were more open minded and tolerant, this world would be a much better place. If people could be comfortable with who they are--and are allowed to be so by others--a lot of things would be non issues. But how people perceive things is different from person to person, but if people would be a little more tolerant of views and issues that they have no control over, this world would be quite a bit more pleasant.

Riv's random self
I'm sorta addicted to the internet, but even then I get bored of being on my laptop after a while. I also have no problems with helping out around the house, but some of the stuff is annoying around here. Also, when we had to leave our house so it could get remodeled, that was a bit of a fear, that people would try and steal the stuff for drug money or just money. People are greedy and amoral anymore and whatever makes a quick buck... BTW, I don't have a smart phone, or even an actual cellphone. Only Verizon has decent cell coverage where I live, and since I'm not currently working, I can't afford that.

Reason not to believe Wikipedia: Which mag is Guyver published in in Japan?
As mentioned, on Wikipedia one can post almost anything they want and it doesn't have to be varifiable, though for the article to be considered factual, one should include a reference to back up their research as Yuki just did.

Reason not to believe Wikipedia: Which mag is Guyver published in in Japan?
Relax Point says that most recent issue was published in Shonen Ace, as well as every chapter published since 2008. So Wikipedia is wrong and since damn near anyone can edit it, and to this day there's a misunderstanding on what shonen vs seinen manga is (it's based as much as where it's published/aired on TV for anime as much as content), it's no wonder that there's an assumption as to Guyver being a shonen/seinen hybrid. But since Guyver is published to this day in Shonen Ace, offically, it's a shonen manga, not a seinen manga or even technically a shonen/seinen hybrid, though most of the characters are now adults and Guyver is certainly adult themed. But Guyver is aimed mostly at teens and teens fit nicely in the shonen demographic.
