But then one day *everybody* is talking about it?
All of a sudden, various fora and comms I'm in are talking on and on about handedness. After months of no discussion on the subject, suddenly three or four or five people realized their kids are left-handed, all at the same time. (And these aren't all school-aged children either.)
Weird.
Anyway, at one place people are talking about the various things they do with their non-dominant hand. Like, one person writes left-handed, but does nearly everything else with her right hand. Another person is predominately lefty, but uses scissors and can openers righty. A third is right-handed except when it comes to most sports, apparently.
As for me? I'm almost exclusively left-handed. I've posted before about that weird feeling that my right side isn't even part of my body that I get sometimes, right? Except there are *two things* I do exclusively with my right hand.
I pick my nose, and I masturbate.
Seriously, if I try to do those with my left hand it's like my body isn't built right, nothing fits together and it's highly uncoordinated.
I've refrained from commenting about that elsewhere, as you can imagine :P
I'll be off now, but for one last word of advice:
There is no such thing as lefty-righty scissors! Left-handed scissors are jointed differently from right-handed scissors. So called "ambidextrous" scissors are just righty scissors with weird handles.
That is all.

Date: 2008-11-10 03:09 am (UTC)1. Snap my fingers. Easy as all heck on my left hand, can barely do it on my right hand.
2. The Vulcan finger salute. Again, very easy on my left hand, but takes a great deal of effort on my right.
3. Holding a telephone receiver. I can do it in my right hand, but it feels all weird. It's just easier to hold it in my left hand for some reason. *Shrug*
