I am really curious about something, and I thought this would be a good place to take a little survey on it...
I have noticed (when I pay attention to it) that when doing anything "artsy", such as going to a museum, art gallery, openings, even playing drawing games, that the left-handed people generally outnumber the right-handed people. This would sort of confirm that we left handed people are in our right mind, which is the creative side of the brain. (Not to say, by any means, that there aren't scads of talented right-handers)

So.. How many of you people are South Paws?

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 9, 2004)
Well, most of the people that have responded so far are right-handed (and some of them the most talented here ahemm (looks up at Axil) Either most of the lefties are too lazy to respond or they just aren't here. :)

I'm right handed. I use my left hand to type though, I get all tangled up with both hands on the keyboard.
But I use my right hand to draw.
I like both though, I probably wouldn't get very far with out my left hand.

marcello (Mar 10, 2004)
you only type with your left hand? does that mean it took you about 10 minutes to write that message?
  icon
Harmanye (edited Mar 10, 2004)
Um. No, I learnt to do it rather quick because I was too lazy to let go of my mouse. Plus I used to be something of a gamer, no good letting go of your fire button in Quake.

DBA: Well... I can wiggle my toes... *Wiggle wiggle. Wiggle.* Awesome, in'it?
  icon
DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Mar 11, 2004)
Wow Harmanye, that's pretty amazing stuff. What can you do with your feet? lol!

Yes, Harmanye---that's the best toe wiggling I've ever witnessed. :)

Right. It seems to me that a ton of people here are right handed... might suggest that using this site forces you to be at least minimally technically proficient, in which case being a left brainer helps.

But who the heck cares?
  icon
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 11, 2004)
Well, I'm not even minimally technically proficient. Most people are right handed, but I really thought that here there might be a majority of lefties. Oh well, so much for my theory. (Either that, or they are all so technically 'unproficient' that they can't find their way to the forums, dunno...) And I care! I care too much about everything!

... I should use that as a signature sometime.

"...I care! I care too much about everything!"

(With exclamation marks, having a shift key on the other side of the key board is very handy. Yes.)

I'm a lefty! I'm left-handed! ^_^ Mrow! Yup...
  icon
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 12, 2004)
Yay! A left-hander that's not ambidextrous! whoohooo! :) and pink is a great color! (My right hand is like totally retarded)... I taught it to be still and steady so I could shoot my bow and my guns, and I bat right-handed, but other than that... well, if i try to eat french fries with it I miss my mouth. lol
