damn.. how did i predict this would be the next thread made?

sorry.. right handed here.. but most of my bfs have been left handed.. dunno why..

i'm lefty. am i backwards? i dunno, sometimes. i just see the right-handed world as lacking flair.

i enjoy being left handed whats weird as fuck tho' because i play guitar right handed, use my right hand when dj'in..when i play drums my hi hat is on my right side, strange dontcha think?

Anx said:

i didnt know you were a lefty? and yeah the right handed world is backwards..

IAintTheOne said:

then you are slightly ambidextrous.. my Mum is left handed but there are somethings she can only do with her right hand..

IAintTheOne said:

weird...my mom taught me to play drums and she always put the hi-hat on the left side for herself - it's just what i was used to. snare to the left, too.

i use scissors with my right hand, but i think that was an adaptive reaction to being given those crappy lefty scissors.

yeah i agree with missfee, left handed ppl are sexy..

Anx said:

hi hat on the left side would kill me...

IAintTheOne said:

same with me. in fact the only thing I do left handed is write, use utensils, and use scissors.


well, and one other thing.

IAintTheOne said:

the only thing that was awkward for me was bass drum - i wasn't allowed to move stuff around and i really wanted to be able to use my left foot cuz it's stronger and faster.

I do some things left handed, but I'm mostly right. When I was young I batted in soft ball left handed, skateboarded "left-handed"... Snowboarding I started out left and really could switch stance all the way. I golf left-handed, but really I can do either. Pool I'm mostly right but I can do left-handed if I need to.
I don't know why.

Anx said:

yeah strange

That reminds me, I do ride skateboards/snowboards goofy.

I'm left handed but I noticed I don't write like some of you crazy left handed people, all underhand and shit. Turn the paper sideways. Works wonders.

CarrieMpls said:

omg that reminds me of a dream I had last night.. I was skate boarding around town with Muse and another orger.. cant remember who it was... grr its on the tip of my mind.. damn.. anyway we skateboarded real fast down hills and round corners..

Left handed here.

4 outta 6 in my family are lefties.

i am not cra...ok i am but still

Stymie said:

they tried teaching me that crap in first grade and it got on my nerves. i was like, "why am i the only kid in class who has to write on crooked paper???"

it still annoys me. i'd rather write with my hand all scrunched up.

Stax said:

I don't write underhand or turn the page sideways. I hold the pen the same way as a right handed person does but maybe it still looks weird to right handed people.

Anx said:

is a crooked paper person...

Anx said:

I taught myself to titl the paper. I don't think my cursive writing would be as nice with a scrunched hand.

JustErin said:

The problem is that since we write from left to right in western culture, there's a chance your hand will accidentally smear the ink if you're a leftie. I know my dad has that problem.

spelling edit

I bet it would be fascinating to see that. The only left handed people I know write either of the two ways I mentioned.

Stymie said:

you know, I could never master cursive. mine sucks. i wonder if my left handedness has anything to do with that?

Stax said:

i shoulda been a pharmacist because my writing looks like it should be a on a fuckin' perscription

Stymie said:

I'll get my son's father to film my hand writing with his camera the next time he comes over.

Stax said:

I actually just tried writing with my left hand for fun to see how I'd do.
I can print almost respectably, but my cursive looks like a little kid's.
