Chernaudi's blog and random stuff...
Hi everyone. I did get my tax refund yesterday just before I left for my appointment. As for that, I'm now on some medication. It'll be 2-6 weeks before I know exactly what effect it'll have on me. There's a drowsiness advisory on it, but since I don't drive, that's not a big problem and it's not supposed to really have any side effects. I still have a few things to get today when my older brother goes back out later on. I still want 1-2 new pairs of shoes and I forgot to pick up a bag of fries yesterday. So that's all I have left to get. Of course, between some grocery stuff and grandma's stuff, we didn't really have room in the Jeep for that stuff anyways. So that's what I was up to yesterday. Now I have to get grandma her breakfast and stuff. I'll be back later

Hi everyone. I don't really know what I'll be doing this morning, but right now I don't really feel very good. I have that appointment today, and right now I'm trying to get some stuff looked up online, and hopefully my brother will get up fairly soon, because I feel like I need to lay down soon. Hopefully I'll be feeling better before the appointment. Also after that, I have to do some more shopping at Walmart and such, and hopefully I'll be able to eat this pizza I want when I get it later on. I also slept in last night. I was awake almost from 5:00 yesterday until about 11:00 last night, so I didn't get to work on fan fic or anything like that yet. Hopefully tonight I'll be able to get some of that stuff done. I'll be back later

What are you currently reading?
I don't read a ton of fiction (though I've read the Twilight novels), but right now I'm mostly reading some automotive books that I have at home, mostly before I got to sleep at night.

Hi everyone. I still haven't gotten my federal tax refund yet, but I still have quite a bit of money, and the mouse trap that I got yesterday worked. Unfortunately, my brother had to fight one of our cats to be able to throw away the mouse. I have an appointment (finally) for my anxiety stuff tomorrow afternoon, then I'll be going to Walmart and maybe in the morning before that I'll be trying Taco Bell's breakfast stuff. Also, I'll be trying to get some Little Ceasar's deep dish pizza tomorrow after the appointment, too. I also ran into a friend from school yesterday when I had to pick up some bank statements. I'll be trying to talk to her and stuff soon. I plan on working on a PC game later and working on some fan fic later on today/tonight, but aside from that, I don't have a crap load of stuff planned right now aside from what I'll be doing tomorrow. I'll be back later

Hi everyone. I did do the JFS stuff today, and I should be getting $55 dollars in benefits ($110 if you count that it'll include back pay from March). I also got some groceries today, and because I did a few things before I went to the JFS stuff, today is pretty much free now. I'll probably be taking a nap soon, and then I'll work on fan fic and do a few other things later tonight. I'll be back later

Hi everyone. Today at first wasn't as successful was I had hoped. My brother and I misread something on the letter we got from JFS, so we have to go this morning and try again. But at least it was nice out today and I spent sometime outside. Only downside is that our yard is wet and nasty with mud and standing water. It'll be warmer tomorrow, but it's also supposed to rain. I'm also $29 richer after I got my state tax refund back, and I should be getting my Social Security money too this morning. That means that I'll be on a bit of a buying spree today after we get out of JFS. Hopefully we can get something out of our across town trip today, unlike yesterday where we only got two pizzas and two bottles of Pepsi, which wasn't all that bad, but we only normally would've traveled half the distance to get that Also, for some interesting technology, if you're bored, type in "Audi LaserLight" in your search box. The new Audi R18 e-tron quattro has that technology on it, and it should be on Audi and BMW road cars within a year. I'll be back later

Hi everyone. My parents did drop off my groceries and I got some new Crystal Light stuff to try that I've never had. After a while, I'll be getting back offline to take a nap and later on, after doing a few things, I'll be working on fan fic Other than that, I don't have much to write about, though at least it's warmer out (and be careful if you have snow on the ground and it's sunny--that crap will damn near blind you, especially if you head indoors into a dimly lit room!), and sometime tomorrow, I'm probably headed to my local Jobs and Family Services deal to try and get some food assistance stuff for until I get back to work. Not a bit deal if I don't get it, but it'll still help a bit. I'll be back later

My Guyver and Twilight Saga crossover fic that I've hinted at
Hopefully tonight I'll be able to work on this a bit. I've had a kinda busy past couple of days, but tonight should be free. I'll try and finish up my current chapter and get a start on another possibly. I'll be taking a nap later on, then I'll probably work on my fan fic after doing a few things. I just need to figure out who'll be the "star" (AKA, narrator) of my next chapter.

Hi everyone. I've got the F1 race to watch later tonight--at 4:00 in the morning. That's because it's taking place in Malaysia, and with unpredictable weather. Audi did top both sessions of the FIA WEC test this morning, though Porsche did run the fastest overall time--though Porsche never came close to matching their best time again, unlike Audi, who did get close to matching their best in both of today's sessions. But other than that, I got the dishes washed and I have a few things to do after the F1 race ends as far as cleaning stuff up, after which point I'll probably be in bed until my parents come out tomorrow. I'll be back later

Hi everyone. I just got up a little while ago and I didn't get to sleep again until about 11:00 this morning. I wish that summer would get here so I can get to sleep whenever I want, or that I get called back into work so I have a reason for changing my sleep schedule. I don't have too much planned for tonight. I might work on fan fic later on, but I haven't decided yet. I really don't feel too well at the moment. But other than that, I'm fine and at least the temperature warmed up, but it'll be cold again Saturday. I'll be back later

Hi everyone. I ended up staying up until almost 11:00 today because my brother was occupied with helping getting stuff ready for my grandma's appointment with her new doctor today. But none the less I'm awake now and I have F1 practice later tonight. Also this weekend is the ACO/FIA WEC "Prologue" test at Paul Ricard Circuit in France. The three new factory LMP1 cars are there, including two examples each of the Audi R18 e-tron quattro, Porsche 919 hybrid and Toyota TS040 hybrid. Also, due to their car not set to be race ready until Spa in May, Rebellion Racing are running their 2013 spec Toyota-powered Lola LMP1 cars, and they're back to their old Red/White/Gold color scheme that existed before they got a Lotus sponsorship deal which resulted in Black/Gold/Red cars. The test takes place on Friday and Saturday. I'll probably get back to work on my fan fic tomorrow night, then take Saturday night off to watch the F1 race, and on Monday I have to go to Jobs and Family Services to see about getting some food assistance stuff for at least until I get back to work. And I think that I heard thunder for the first time this year at home just a few minutes ago. I'll be back later

Hi everyone. I don't have too many plans for tonight, but what I plan on doing depends a lot on when I can make dinner (taco salad) and finish off playing a PC game on my laptop if I decide to finish it off. I did get some ideas for future story chapters and stuff in my current chapter from watching some stuff on You Tube and Dailymotion, as well as some music I've heard recently. Hopefully I'll be close to getting the current chapter finished off tonight or within the next couple after that. Other than that, I haven't really done anything interesting today. I'll be back later

Hi everyone. Today has been a lot better so far than yesterday/last night. Though it got interrupted a few times, I did get more sleep, and I feel better overall today. And it finally came today: The 2014 Audi R18 e-tron quattro, what it looks like: http://fourtitude.com/news/motorsport_news_6/audi-sport-unveils-new-r18-e-tron-quattro-le-mans-commute/ And here it is in motion and what it sounds like: We also have plenty of wood at our house now to last us though the cold next day or two, and tonight I might work on fan fic and do a few other things. I'll be back later

Hi everyone. I didn't have the greatest of days. I had to stay up until almost 10:00 this morning, didn't get back up until just before Top Gear came on, new lap got broke and is being repaired right now. And we have a rather annoying problem with a mouse and we don't have the money to get traps or poison for it, and won't until the end of the month when I get my tax refund. So I'm not really happy right now, let alone being tired of it being cold being stuck inside a lot and such. So I probably won't be working on fan fic, and I'll probably just be happy to go to sleep later this morning. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. At least there's the Audi presentation deal later today that I can look at later. I'll be back later.

My Guyver and Twilight Saga crossover fic that I've hinted at
Small update: I didn't work on fan fic last night, but this morning, while trying to get a fire in the wood stove going and waiting for my brother to get up so I could get ready to go to bed after playing some Postal 2, and I was drinking tea. I got a bug up my ass to watch some clips from Guyver: The Bio-Boosted Armor TV series on Dailymotion (the videos that Funimation and Hulu posted there) and watch some clips of Shizu. I remember where she made some tea for someone and I checked out some clips of her in a couple of the episodes, and I think that I have a direction that I'd like to go with her (I don't know when she'll get another stand alone chapter where she's the main narrator--she's already had two!), but some of my characters are inspired by some of her attributes, so that'll help with some stuff. Tonight won't be a good night for fan fic writing, because I have some stuff I'd like to watch. There's a chance that I'll be working on it, but not a huge one. I also have a big Audi event that I'll be following on Tuesday (2014 Audi R18 reveal at Le Mans and the car's drive from the Place de Jacobins (where tech inspection before the 24 Hours of Le Mans happens) to the grounds of the Circuit de la Sarthe where the race happens. So it might not be until Tuesday night or Wednesday before I really do much more work on it. But at least I have some thoughts and such for future use.

My Guyver and Twilight Saga crossover fic that I've hinted at
I did get a couple of pages finished with my chapter tonight due to having found some time work on it before getting ready to get a fire in our wood stove. That's more progress than I've made with it since last week. And I'm now motivated, moving from a dark section to a lighter section of the chapter, to maybe get it finished tonight or at least soon. Of course, I do have to be fair in saying that the song "I Don't Wanna Fall In Love" and Postal 2 did help inspire some of the stuff that I wrote. But I should be done with this chapter soon and move on to one that's a bit more fun. One of the problems that I'll be having if/when I get this published on a fan fic site is that some of you might think that the first 10 or so chapters will be a bit boring because a lot of them aren't action oriented and sort of are fleshing things out. But then again, I'm trying to sell this to Twilight fan fic fans, most of whom have never heard of Bio-Booster Armor Guyver, and if they have, it was probably from me. So I do have to explain stuff with the characters and such. And over the next chapter or two, some of the stuff with the Guyver units will be explained. But never the less, my current chapter will be finished soon. I might also be posting updates and such (including musings and thoughts about the story) on my blog area in that section here.

My Guyver and Twilight Saga crossover fic that I've hinted at
Actually, I'm more of a console gamer, but the newest console I have is a PS2. I haven't bought anything newer yet because of money issues. But I do play Postal 2 on steam. Like the Grand Theft Auto series, I know that it's a controversial game (Postal 2 and GTA are often compared to each other for irreverent content and violence), but here's the thing about it. At least the main game (Monday though Friday) it's only as violent and irreverent as the player wants it to be. In Apocalypse Weekend, the player does have to kill, among other things, diseased cows and, especially, zombies. Also, standard Postal 2 is an open sandbox game where you can do as you please as long as you get your objectives done. AW is much more linear in game play. The version I have is Postal 2 Complete, which is a watered down version of Postal 2: A Week in Paradise (AWP) that's avaible on Steam. There's so much wrong with Postal 2 I have to admit. You're not encouraged to go down the "good route" AKA do a pacifist play though and do things for example like Sho would. You're actually more encouraged to vent your displeasure on the whole town (which is a total hell hole to be fair) like Agito would (I even call what the characters do in Guyver the "Postal 2 effect", where they chose what route to go as far as how moral or amoral the character is). Also, the game's jaded dark humor isn't for everyone, it does take a rather big crap on society (namely parodying the negative/annoying aspects of modern life), and the game itself is glitchy as all hell (I can't tell you how many time's it's crashed on me for no really good reason--it's a definite save spam game because of that) and some aspects of the gameplay, even given that Postal 2 is over a decade old, are crap. But the catchy dialogue and humor (if one's in the mood for it) does make it worth while (to me at least), and, like Running With Scissors (Postal 2's developer and publisher) says, inappropriate actions belong in video games and not in real life I hope that this doesn't paint me in a dark light, because I at least try and be a happy person, but with my anxiety and such, it's not easy some of the time. I have to admit that I'm addicted to the Jane Child song "I Don't Wanna Fall In Love". Who wouldn't feel a bit up after hearing that song? Anyways, this "Postal 2 complex" will be explored among some characters in this story. Though my story is mostly intended to be lighthearted, it does ask some questions and I hope that they might get the reader to think, that is if I ever get the damn thing done. Of course, I guess it doesn't help that I'm in a sort of dark part of my chapter right now, but hopefully as pull towards a lighter section, it'll get easier for me to write.

hi
Yep, the manga's older than I am. It was first published in 1985, which means that even though it's only published monthly, that's almost 30 years of stuff to catch up on, though a lot of it's also heavily discussed on the forum itself.

My Guyver and Twilight Saga crossover fic that I've hinted at
Hi everyone. I'm going to see about working more on this later tonight after I get something to eat and work on something on a PC game that I have. I hope to get a pretty good chunk of this chapter done over this weekend. So that's what I have planned now.

Sorry that I've been away for like forever here. Had house renovations, grandma got sick over the weekend, and I really haven't had a crap load of time to post a lot here. I have gone back to working on my fan fic and the racing season has started. For example, a testing video/promo trailer for the new Audi R18 e-tron quattro: This car (unlike last year's) was designed to use two hybrid systems, one that drives the front wheels, and one that provided extra power to the rear wheels, driven by the engine's turbocharger. Audi, though, dropped the rear hybrid system for performance and reliability reasons. It wasn't giving them the performance advantage they wanted (as in it didn't contribute much at all) and was thus just seen as an extra complication. So like the 2012/13 e-tron quattro, it will have only a front wheel drive hybrid system, but it'll be much more powerful than the old system, no speed limiter on when it can activate, and Audi, unlike Porsche and Toyota, will still be running a diesel engine. Also, I've been trying to get back to work on my fan fic, and it's been a bit challenging, since I haven't worked on it much the past two months. But when I get though this chapter that I'm currently on, I'll be ready to really move on with it. Also, grandma (as mentioned) has been sick and she was in the hospital over the weekend. She has a new doctor now and is on new medications that he hopes will help her out with her diabetes and other issues. Hopefully third time's the charm here because she's been though two doctors already who didn't really help her out much at all. So that's my update, and hopefully this will be come a busier place soon

My Guyver and Twilight Saga crossover fic that I've hinted at
I've only gotten to chapter 11 of my story, and I don't yet know how long it'll be. I was out of writing it for almost 2 months because of house renovations and being sick and such. I only wrote a page last night because of being tired and ill and worrying about my grandma, who just got home tonight from the hospital. But anyways, I'll try and work more on it tonight. One of the problems right now as well as just being out of practice with working on this stuff is that I just haven't had the focus on this stuff that I had before. Hopefully when the weather improves and things settle down a bit, that'll help. I'm trying to make the story comical, as well as injecting my knowledge of cars and auto racing and World War II stuff. This is actually easier with the established Guyver or Twilight characters or OC's that I'm familiar with. That's actually a bit of a problem with my chapter right now. It's a bit angsty, even with Shizu around (she's got a sense of humor in my story) and as does Elle and Aptom, but I'm having some issues with trying to find my way though the area that I'm in now, because I want to focus a bit on Elle's and Aptom's relationship. Also, I think that some early chapters are going to be a bit boring because some of them lack action, and most are fleshing out why people are "there" in my story and explaining things before the action seriously picks up. So I hope that when I ever get this done and posted that the early chapters won't be too boring.

Yes, all important Twilight and many Guyver characters are in it

My Guyver and Twilight Saga crossover fic that I've hinted at
This story does focus quite a bit on romance, but being Guyver related, there's gonna be some violence (more in an "uncut" version I'll eventually work on), and it's a story that I'm kinda writing for laughs, depending on if you think some of the stuff I mention in earlier post may be funny. Story will mostly be lighter than Guyver or even Twilight.

hi
Hi there I did post about my fan fic a little bit about where you can find some info about it and extra materials about it. But if you have any questions or wanna talk about something, feel free to PM me
