Sleepless

[valiha]

I'll be eternally grateful to whoever comes up with a cure for insomnia. I tried everything, but nothing seems to work. I finally got up, turned on my computer and started fiddling with Photoshop. The result is below:

Ambidextrous Quickdraw

hmmm.... i never thought of him as a woobie. can't say as i've read much fic where that comes across.

i love that he shoots with both hands equally well, but not both at the same time (like JD). i also saw somewhere that someone had put together a vid or a picspam where they went through the whole series, piecing together whether he was a lefty or a righty. and the ambidextrous thing stood out... he even wrote with both hands on the show!

It's just that I've been trying to tire myself out by reading fics. I have folders of favorite authors and then one for various, and I've been reading some of the old, old "various" ones, which had a bunch of fics where Ezra is misunderstood, or mistrusted, and ends up hurt and has to tend to his own wounds, and they mistreat him horribly and I was getting sick of those. Deleted them all.

I remember that, it was a vid! I think it's somewhere on YouTube. I wonder if that was just the character, or if Tony's ambidextrous too.

I've seen a lot of fics like that too (they normally give a warning or summary first), and it's one of the reasons I don't read fanfic. I just don't see Ezra as wimpy or getting beat up a lot, or being mistreated. Under appreciated by the other 6 sometimes, but not to the point that it causes him a mental breakdown.

Tony is ambidextrous too! I think it was his decision to add that bit of himself into his character. Here's the vid you were talking about:

Sorry you're having trouble sleeping. I have the same problem sometimes, although I think I only have myself to blame. I think it's my weird sleeping patterns that do it. If I were to go to bed and get up at the same time everyday, I probably wouldn't have that problem. Have you tried taking over-the-counter pills? They're really the only thing that helps me fall asleep, and stay asleep.

Awesome wallpaper! Love the colors and the blending of the photos.

Thank you! I was worried that the colors were a bit much, since I make it on my laptop which shows duller colors, and the colors on my desktop monitor are very vivid.

That's a nice tidbit about Tony! I wonder if that's one of Ezra's God given gifts or if it's something he learned. In any case, it makes sense to take advantage of such an asset. I wonder what it would be like to be ambidextrous...

I have weird sleeping patterns too. We don't have a textbook we'd like to use with our students, so we have to write our own lectures and that takes time. None of us goes to bed before midnight or 1 a.m., sometimes later. As a consequence, all our sleeping patterns are shot to hell. I'm desperate for a good textbook!

I tried over-the-counter pills, but my trouble is I have a strong gag reflex and it's tough even getting them past my throat. And if they're plain, un-coated tablets they tend to make me sick. :(

I like to think that Ezra had to acquire his ambidexterity himself. Seems like it would be very useful in his line of work.

I have trouble swallowing pills too. I always have to psych myself out, by chewing some food, and then putting the pill in my mouth right before I swallow. That way I can't feel the pill at all when it goes down.
