It's 3:16 AM where I live. I think it goes without saying that this place won't let me sleep.
But does the same thing happen to you guys?

Do You Lose Sleep Over The Duck?
Depends whether you mean working on the update till late night/early morning or hanging out in the forums. For my previous update, I stayed up till 3am and only got 3 hours of sleep before going to work. As for the forums, I'm quite often here, yes, either lurking or writing mile-long posts, but I haven't lost sleep because of that. Just this one time I was so focussed on writing a reply that I didn't have my breakfast till noon.

Forums or comics is fine, they're both part of the Inebriated Waterfowl.
My problem isn't the sleep time I lose while actually ON the Duck. My problem is the obsessing time I spend, either thinking about my next page, worrying about what I might have said to offend someone in the forums (which I did accidentally once and oh boy was it bad…) or worrying about a comment someone made on a page. Oh yes, my sleep has been troubled often. I think the important thing here is why. It's because I care so damn much. My creative life work is spread out here for everyone to see–and so is everyone else's. I have seen people get flamed–and I hate it, because I KNOW how much their work means to them (I especially hate it when it's a non-posting user with no work up who does the flaming–like who cares what you think anyway?!?) So yeah, I've lost sleep. But it's been more good than bad let me tell you!
I think that I am at a point now where I need my internet fix pretty regularly.
that includes a visit to the mighty Green Mallard
Today, I heard a Librarian tell a kid that when she grew up, Television wasn't around.
The kid had this look on his face like he just saw the woman suddenly regurgitate a live Writhing Octopus.
Now, I can remember all the way back when the internet had only words and REally Grainy pictures.
that was like 10 years ago.
THAT WAS BEFORE THE DARK TIMES…BEFORE THE EMPIRE!
Gasp!
You should have seen the Old
Apple II e
DIG THAT SNAZZY COLOR MONITER!
That is what I cut my Eye teeth on.
No internet for me back then…that was when you were still charged by the minute.
I stay up for days at a time sometimes. Its such a problem for me sleeping, I've lost entire days before and saw comics that I've made that I don't remember. I nod off in strange places or wake up confused and scared. Its a hard life being me.
Course I'm hilarious and wonderful, so it evens out.
I don't loose sleep over "The Duck." But, I'm sure glad she's here when I can't sleep. I have insomnia a LOT and it's nice to be able to login at four in the morning and seeing dozens of other people from all over the world who either also can't sleep or are playing at work on the other side of the planet. Something to do on those dreamless nights.
Nah,I don't lose sleep over the Duck. I'm typically up relatively late anyway, and I don't post on the forums as often as I should. The only time I tend to "lose sleep to the Duck" is when I'm late on a page, and scrambling to get it done on time.
Speaking of which…I should be working on another page right now. -_-
