Das Hier #40

 

I am most upset with you humans!
 
Your poorly designed blog, by my people's standards of course stole 185 words from me because it can no longer seem to capture the words once they are written.

And in my haste to draw, before the end of the day I did not complete the process of publishing the blog as I would normally. so not only did I lose those 185 words from the 3rd quarter, but the words from the 4th as well.

Or thought them lost for a moment as I was able to find them in a counter.

But there was a moment where I had lost an additional 615 words, so all the writing that I had written in the second half of the day.

And all because of your human failings.

Yes, I was hasty and some would even say reckless but who could see the failure of the browser?

And even if it was entirely preventable, with a better design, the words would not have been lost to the ether.

What, you cannot make it so that it is automatically saved?

I highly doubt that because I have seen this ability elsewhere.

So I am of course, complete within my rights to be quite cross with you humans right now because you failed me.

Not that you will do anything about though.

And yes, 185 words is a loss that cuts deep. Imagine how upset I would be if the cost had been 800 instead of just 185? 

I am so upset with you that I can see no way in which I will be drawing anything for today's posting and when my legions of diehard fans are upset with you, they will deluge you with a wave of e-mails expressing their displeasure with you.

And you will have surely earned it.

Now I must strive harder than I might be capable of striving, thanks to the sense of loss that I feel for those words.

But I would be surprised if you cared enough to help me, even if you knew of this unfairness.

As if we didn't already face a struggle as it was, we had to face a new one.

And I blame you, even though you are not the sole party to blame as I bear a small share of the blame in this, the masses will side with me, in spite of my alienness.

They will side with me on this will they not?

I am  not human after all and your lot does like to stick together, when aliens are involved.

Or are those movies wrong?

In any event, it wasn't a total loss at least.

But still, shame on you!

While my haste hurts me in the immediacy, over the longer term, you will regret not giving ore to this damn place(Right hands shakes with the rage of the unable to do anything about something that shouldn't have happened in the first place.

Oh bother!!_1st

It didn't look good for a time here, as your power grid failed where I have come to stay in a most snowy part of your little backwater world that I have chosen to live.

And then when power was restored, your so called information highway was closed to me and I was thinking that you humans were striking out at.

As humans are full of stupid vengeances.

Especially one human of terrible importance.

Fortune was with me though as I was at the the time of this inconvenience drawing in a little book that has no need for electricity.

So I did not lose any more words. Because to lose words twice in two days would have been most upsetting.
 
Our power grid hasn't gone dark in a hundred years.

But we can't all be full of exceptionalism now can we?

Yes yes, I know the loud country touts its exceptionalism but I shake my head and say that was more apparent in the past than the now, but I'm not hear to debate the stable geniuses who will come here in defense of their greatest Furstte ever, I'm just an alien making my way through my life whose chosen to live in a quieter country than the loud one.

Wait, now you refuse to save my text in the colour of my choosing?

How irksomaciously annoying your things can be humans.

Why is this happening now?

Though yes, at the least the words are not being lost, but this is curiously stupid of you humans to allow such a thing.

And if I sound too harsh, it's because I feel like being harsh and you are being too soft.

Seriously humans, you are annoying me with this.

Why must it be like this?

Why I ask you, why?

Our alien technology is not so limited in being accessible to only a select few.

The first work-around did not work. Though for the life of me I cannot figure out why it did not because it absolutely should have as it was struck from a shiny new page.

If it's because I am most upset with you then you are being petulant just for the sake of being petulant.

And that is not very big of you. 

I won this time? And all it took as saving what I had written in a new place, deleting the old and resetting the new in the way that I liked it?

I can live with that.

Thank you humans.

And now that I have in fact, I think that I will withdraw now and return tonight.

Yes, the drawing from earlier has in fact inspired a story beginning.

Be well humans_2

I have been able to be writing for more than an hour and I was passing time away on the bird site.

You humans just love to draw me in and keep me from writing don't you?

Yes, I know, you are not to blame for my not writing. I can write and enjoy the people of the bird site.

I chose the bird site over the writing. And it wasn't because I was afraid of having words stolen from me.

I don't think of that happening, even though it's happened more than once.

But it will not happen now and might not happen for years. 

But will I write more than what I lost yesterday in this quarter as it nears the end?

Whatever I write though will not be any kind of storying however.

Perhaps in the 4th as I did draw something earlier in the day that I liked.

And you'll like it too.

Fingers crossed. 

I just looked at it again and I like the stick man the most.

Don't jusdge it until you see it because immediately the thought can be a stick man? Ugh, how can he think that is any good.

Well, you haven't seen it yet, so you can't say it isn't unil you see it now can you?

Fine, you could but that would jumping the gun and you are more patient than that are you not?

Oh what this third quarter could have been if I had fought the urge to just hang about at the bird site.

So I'll have to make the 4th what the 3rd could have been.

Only better.

Later Humans._3

How long before the score is tied, then probably untied and if I had to guess, not by Nos Glorieux?

And it wasn't long ago that it was a three score game in favour of Nos Glorieux.

Oh bother. 

At least they are headed into the final period with a lead. The question is, can they keep it until the end of the regularity, because one gain is not enough. They need two. 

And it's so much better not to let the other team gain as well, especially when you are in the midst of a hard to bear season where your haters have already written you off.

Make them wrong Nos Glorieux and just win!

Please. 

Colour me surprised.

Actually, when Nos Glorieux were up by three scores, I was foolishly thinking that they were on their way to winning with ease.

Now the question has to be can they make it to overtime because they don't look like they're going to score again which means it's a question of can stop the opposing team from scoring?

Sadly, there's half the peiod left and the other team has the last three scores.

Will they make it four? 

They did make it four. But at least Nos Glorieux earned a gain right?

Save that they were up by three and didn't get another the rest of the game.

How many times can give away games like this?

That was a terrible ending to a game that had a goodful start.

A start that they could not finish.

Is there no hope left for their qualifying for the tournament this season?

There is hope, but it is flickering fast, or slowly, as this is agonizing.

Oh bother indeed.

We are still doing better then them, though if we do not find our way soon, we will join them in the ranks of the lessers.
  
My head is cold humans.

Why is your world afflicted by seasons of frigid cold and terrible heat?

My homeworld is blessed to be perfectly temperate, never too hot and never too cold. I wish your world was too.

Now you see why i like the stick as much as I do yes? It's like a stick given life.

But it no longer inspires me to craft any kind of story now like it did earlier. 

It's late at night now. is this when the human built desktop that I am using while I am away must fail?

I refuse to accept that for a second night in a row!

Can I write now?

After a seeming eternity you’re going to let me write?

Thank you stupid human built desktop.

Now if you would kindly stop failing late at night I would appreciate that as you have likely cost me and by extension, the collective, a shot at the glory of reaching the camp at the base of the mountain.

Though, it is true that I could have served us better with more effort in the third than I did  so this failure is partly on me, but only partly.

Why are you failing late in the day when you are not sentient.

Oh bother.

And then I did the math and found out just how far I was and it is definitly your fault stupid human bult desktop. Your futtery is why I fell short of any good aim by as little as a hundred words.

Though I have the time if you do not get in my way with anymore failing and I do not go and look at the bird site where humans interact with me because on that site, they can deal with my being an alien better than tooo many can in the real.

That might be too much to ask on a night when Nos Glorieux lost and I have less than five minutes before the day ends and I am 138 words short of a mere 2000 word day.

So if you think that I shaking my fist at this desktop than you would be correct, because I surely am.

And with good reason because were it not for that fir that it took when I could nothing but stew, I would have already slipped past 2000 words.

Or yes, if I had just written more in the 3rd when I had the chance because I waited so long to write.

That's the real cost of the failure to even write 2000 words today.

As much as the failings of this desktop infuriated me, I should be more upset with myself for letting us down, once more.

Maybe now I'll just be 38 words short, but that is still short when I had it in me to be well over with just an additional ten minutes of writing when I had more than an hour when I didn't write.

I feel so very human now humans and I do not care if you get upset with me for saying this.
