"The problem with Livejournal is that we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. Hence, I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you."


I don't think I posted this when it came around a while ago, but I have some new friends recently, so maybe this will be helpful. please have at. I will make a diligent attempt to answer all questions.

I am right handed.

I was probably naturally ambidextrous as far as my hands go but I am very right-eye dominant and I initially learned to write, draw and throw a ball with my right hand. I can throw a ball or a frisbee decently with either hand since I spent some time training the left hand, and I can write with either hand, but my left hand writes like a fourth-grader. Quick experimentation just now indicates my left hand can probably draw better than people who are not trained how to draw but my right hand has muscle memory and training it does not. Years of predominantly typing have dramatically reduced the advantage in pen-holding callouses that my right hand has, however, compared to when I was in high school. Also, the injury to my right shoulder of four years ago altered a lot of the habit of reaching for doors and heavy things with my right hand. Which was interesting.

But when it comes to requiring a fast twitch or for the hand to do something autonomous while the brain is distracted, for anything other than driving the car, I'm right-handed.
