I swear, on average I'm getting about 4 hours of sleep per night, usually less.
How much sleep have you guys been getting recently?

Isn't it though?! Well, let's see, here. I go by many different names but the one people use to refer to me the most is Midori. >_> I've been living for fifteen years, but I haven't had my fifteenth birthday yet, isn't that awesome?! Yes! I just puzzled that out last night! Now I don't know if I should say I'm fifteen or fourteen, because technically I'm fifteen years old. But I haven't had my fifteenth birthday. Bah, humbug, I'll just wait then, my birthday is in just about four months, after all.
I feel free to rant! Your guys' user information told me it's okay to go off on sleep-deprived rants here. That's good. I daresay my sleep deprived rants are a lot more interesting than my sleep-fulfilled ones. =D
Why do I question sleep? Hmm, not a day goes by I don't ask myself the same question. I guess it's because my subconcious fascinates me. It's a very interesting place, and quite a bit of my worst fears manifest themselves into my dreams. Rarely do I have pleasant dreams, when I dream at all. However, the nightmares only frighten me when I have them--afterwords I'm perfectly fine. What frightens me more is the fact that I am, indeed, having them. Hm! I stay up very late all of the time, because there is a lot to do at night that I just can't do during the day. Because during the day I'm either sleeping or at school. Or both. Or all three... Insomnia? No, I don't have it. I get my six to seven hours of sleep a day. I yawn and rub my eyes as I type this. *yawns, rubs eyes* Yes, indeed. My favourite work by Mr. Vasquez? Johnny the Homicidal Maniac! Invader Zim is cool too, but I daresay, Johnnyboy wins outright. I've discovered I have a sort of thing for fictional serial killers and anti-heroes. Of course, Zim is an anti-hero too, but. You get my point.
Righto! That's all I think of to say, right now. What's the point of this community, anyway? Just a place for people to rant about why they question sleep and love Jhonen Vasquez? How interesting...

"Over My Shoulder" (MIKA) |
] |
To heck with time lapses, I need to be here.
Well, for starters, I'm Jewel Lightraye. Female, totally asexual, and better known as spinningcannon, of course.
I'm a seventeen year old spazhead with a rabid imagination and way too many headvoices for my own good. But we have fun.
To be brutally honest, I have never questioned sleep... until I met Johnny.
Honestly, since my childhood, I have been a literal sleep addict thanks to my deep-rooted love of dreams and the worlds within them. I still am, but... I don't get to spend as much time with them anymore.
Life has been quite a headtrip recently. I have never had this much stress thrown at me at once, and with my naturally busy family life and work/school schedule it's only getting worse.
So... I haven't been sleeping much at all. Five hours tops per night, really.
But the funny thing is-- half the time I really don't miss it.
I miss the dreams, sure. I miss being able to relax after a long hard day, sure.
Yet there's so much for me to do before I even think of sleep that I'm finding it difficult not to stay awake.
Either way, I am indeed questioning sleep, for one reason or another.
Why does it hunt me so tirelessly?
And why does it never truly reach me?
Lastly, on the subject of that fantastic being we know as Jhonen Vasquez.
He is truly an inspiration to me. I highly admire him, not just for his art, ambition, and imagination, but for the dear characters he has given me the chance to meet.
Zim, Johnny, Bob, Devi, Squee, all of them... I love all of them and am very thankful I have their voices echoing in my head when they do.
My favorite series of Jhonen's is an eternal stalemate between Invader Zim and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. The subject matter for both is absolutely riveting, the character design is genius, and let's face it-- I freaking adore both Johnny and Zim.
So yes. It's really a pleasure to be here with you guys, even if I'm not the sort of person you'd expect to be hooked on a graphic novel about a serial killer! But that's what makes me me, I guess.
G'night, then... and don't let the flesh-eating demon bed babies bite!

I'm Sam. I see this community isn't very lively, but it's relevant to my interests, which is all that matters.
Anyway, I guess I could say I've been a fan of Jhonen for a few years now, but that's not really true, unless you count occasional watching of IZ a few years ago. A bit over a year ago, a friend of mine introduced me to JTHM, but I didn't get to read much of it. I recently got my hands on it, and I've really become a fan of Jhonen's work.
I've also been an insomniac since I was little, but it's not as bad now as it was then. Now I just decide to not sleep nowadays. There are so many productive things you can do during those years wasted away. It makes me a rather cranky person IRL, but I decide to barely sleep anyway. I also don't dream most of the time, and when I do it's usually full of sadness and failure, so I'm a bit envious of people who can just sleep away and let go of their worries in a fantasy world. But that's being rather unrealistic and avoidant of reality, isn't it?
I also admit to being a bit too lazy to try and change my fucked-up sleeping habits. Haha.
Yep. So that's me. Hope to see this community come to life a bit more.
Oh, and if you see ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) xnewxgodx commenting here, that's my public journal. Sometimes too lazy to log out, too.

I question sleep because while I’m sleeping away I could be doing things. Productive things. Or not so productive things, depending on my mood.
My favorite Jhonen Vasquez work is JTHM orrr Invader Zim.
And I am here to liven up this community. Or at least post in it some. And hope that it livens up. The last post in here was like, last year =O Which was like, WEEKS ago. DON’T LET YOUR LOVE FOR NNY DIEEEEE. LOVE HIMMM.

I question sleep 'cause I actually am an insomniac and I like the feeling that the rest of my family is so vulnerable to me when I'm awake and they're not(vicious grin, heheheh). My favorite Vasquez work is I feel sick, and I think that all the people who still go here should try joining the fanlisting I mentioned before, here's another link:

Hello all. I am sorry that I have done a shitty job as a moderator and I have kind of let this community go to the wayside. So this is my attempt to make some sort of improvement. One thing I have meant to get done is make a banner for promoting and such (if anyone feels the need to do so). But alas, I do not have the skills to make anything that fancy. So if anyone out there would be kind enough to make a banner for this wonderful community, it would be greatly appreciated. And if anyone else has any suggestions/comments to make this place a bit more alive, it would be wonderful. Whatever works. So this is where I bid you all a good night (homework beckons) and remember, question sleep and all it's motives...

Age: I... dont... know. Either that, or at the time, I just dont care to remember.
Why you question sleep: I believe that most fans of Johnny C. try to hard to be like him. I question sleep because I cant, for the life of me, see why someone would ENJOY wasting hours of prescious time on doing nothing. Of course, surfing the internet could be construed as doing nothing. I guess, another thing about sleep that I really abhore, is the fact that when I do sleep, all I see is blackness, and all I hear are screams. Mind you, I see nothing. Maybe a flash of something here or there... But no real image. When I wake, I am slightly uncertain as to what day it is, what time, or even who the fuck I am. This uncertainty makes me question the value of a good nights/days sleep.
Favourite work of Jhonen Vasquez: Hmm... Well... Probably Johnny. It makes me think, and realise a lot of fucked up things. So, yes.

My name is Amber, not that it is terribly important and I am 20 been a fan if the Vasquez since i was 15. Sleep....hmm now there is a good question. I just dislike it..nightmares and I have better things to do. like chase ninjas..and make toast. belive me its suprisingly difficult at four in the morning.
I guess my favorite Jhonen creation would be Invader Zim. I honestly think it was genius and a shame that it was cut short. But alas I sustain myself on terribly overwatched dvd's and Jthm. yess Jhonny...a creation without wich I would still resemble that of a moderatly normal person...thing...or something.
But I digress, now is the time for toast and what may be some sembelence of sleep...

Age: According to your local EARTH gregorian calendar, as of February 27th 2006, 6896 days, or rather... 18 years, 46 weeks, and 6 days. But who's counting HAHA... >.>
Why you question sleep: I question sleep because waking yields intellectual thought. The longer I'm awake, the more alive my brain is, the more I think, and the more I enjoy life. So naturally, I'll agree with everyone else, that sleep is an evil time thief.. a time ravager, if you will.
Favourite work of Jhonen Vasquez: How cliché... but JthM was the first. It's excellence is undeniable. BRAIN FREEZY!

Favourite work of Jhonen Vasquez: JTHM - the bit where Nny says "I'm not happy" at the end, that was so cute. that and the one where he made that guy try everything in the fridge. Squee in general is so cute i want to squeeze his gigantic glossy eyes. Anything of Jhonen's is geniusly awesome.

Age: 21
Why you question sleep: Because I have freaky messed up dreams, and it's nigh impossible for me to do at night. Even when I had to work regularly at 6 AM, I just couldn't go to bed early. There are so many other important things to do - at least to me. I get most of my shite done at night.
Favourite work of Jhonen Vasquez: JTHM. Specifically, the part in Issue 3 where he kills all the people in the cafe while listening to Beethoven. "And the chorus swells!" heehee. Or the "Meanwhile" where Devi's date exclaims that someone put shit in his pants.
