Are you right- or left-handed?

Kinda both. I think I was born left-handed but was forced to learn to write right-handed.

This theory is borne out by the fact that anything I learned to do myself (ie. play snooker, play guitar, etc) I do left-handed, while anything that I was taught to do I do right-handed.

Edit: I voted for 'Natural left, learnt ambi' on the poll, even though I can't really write very well left handed. Everything else I can do pretty much equally well with either hand.

right handed for most things

the reply button on the right is starting to annoy me (too) now though:mad:

Left handed. Completely and entirely. I once tried learning to be ambidextrous, and failed.

Go righties!

I'm right handed, in sport I have more power with my right and more dexterity with my left hand.

Naturally right handed. Started using my left more deliberately in my teens and now I guess I am ambidexterous, though self-taught.
I can throw,catch, write, punch,type,drive or give you the finger equally well with either hand. When I write,it just slants the other way.

Go righties!
*pummels with both hands* :p

both-ish

I can do just about anything with either hand, but write semi-nicer with my right hand, since when writing with my left I write upside down and backwards. (which I can also do with my right hand but it's pointless then)

Right-handed, some ability with left hand.

*pummels with both hands* :p

*defeats with third hand*
;)
:eek:
:cool:

Lefty here. I do just about everything with my left hand, but I can train myself to do things with my right hand. (I can play guitar with either hand, since I was originally taught right-handed but gave up on that idea when I got a left-handed teacher who advised me to switch...Now i'm about ten times better playing it left-handed.)

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much information there :eek:

Right-handed, though I've taught myself to do some things left-handed.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much information there :eek:

Too much or not enough? ;)

That could be kinky....

Left handed.

I accidentally hit the 'some function right handed' option, though. :oops:

I can't do anything write handed really, though I do use righthanded implements in my left hand if that counts for anything (left handed stuff is too expensive IMHO).

I also learned guitar right-handed - though that's actually better for a left handed person once the initial "weirdness" curve is overcome. Right handed guitars are also significantly cheaper. :D

:eek: :( :eek:











:fluffle:

Right handed guitars are also significantly cheaper. :D
Yeah, they fucking are as well. :mad:

:fluffle:
I'm a little bit worried by that...

Shiva got you beat...

This should have been a public poll.

Oh well.

Naturally right-handed, with some left-handed abilities. Strangely, I'm born to left-handed parents (yep, both are pure left-handers)

Whats the deal with weasels?

Well, it started off as an inside joke between me and my boyfriend, since he's a 'waccoon' (yes, not 'raccoon') because he would drink the really gross left over flat pop in the fridge. I became a weasel because I'm good at 'weaseling' my way through crowds of people.

It has since evolved because people made a couple of weasel comments, and when I was getting my own domain (see my blog below in my siggy), I decided to live up to what it stood for. Plus, I got tired of trying to draw the fine line between sobriety and being baked, so, I went for the whole nine yards!

Plus, every NSG'er needs some bit of randomness that sets them apart from everyone else.

Bollocks. I was stuck in a rut. I had no rhythm in my right hand and couldn't do anything with it. Once I made the switch, I improved heaps.

Right handed guitars are also significantly cheaper. :D

But yes...that's true. Sigh.

I'm a little bit worried by that...
As well you should be

Shivas got everyone beat. That's what Shiva does.

Haha :rolleyes:

Yes, for example, I'm a Christian SimCity addict who feels that modern civilisation could very well be on its last legs. That doesn't necessarily mean I believe it's the end of the world, mind... But it's a distinct possibility.

*notices the room has suddenly emptied*

Yeah, I usually have that effect...

I play guitar with my left hand, I do everything with my left hand, I only use my right had for holding say golf clubs, tennis rackets or scissors

Completely underhanded.

I'm entirely left-handed. I can scribble with my right hand (see the "Whatcha write like?" thread), but it's not exactly legible and looks more like a kindergartener wrote it.

Oh and RIGHT handed, not FREAK handed. Damn lefties.

it's on the left. and i started a petition to move it back.

ahaha!:p
where are you from?
you sound like you are from back in the olds days!
old days as in pre-celtic tiger.

purely lefthand for me.

When you only have one the choice is obvious! :p

Right handed for everything except playing lacrosse. I don't know why.

i'm right handed, but i've trained myself to wank with my left hand so as to even out the wankers muscles in my forearm.

I'm right handed but I'm better at lifting things up with my left hand because I play the trombone which puts a lot of weight on your left arm if you play right handed.

I'm very similar. I'm naturally left handed, but I do some things right handed (such as batting & bowling), because that's how I was taught. I throw, eat, write, use a mouse, etc left handed.


LEFT IS BEST! :)

I was originaly right handed but taught myself to write with both after my sisters friend who is left-handed broke her left arm and had to miss school. I wanted to make certain that if I ever broke my right arm, I'd be able to still write.

I'm right-handed, but I've injured my right wrist so many times that I had to learn how to do pretty much everything but write left-handed. I still can't even hold a pen properly in my left hand. Amusingly enough, I was ambidextrous in archery long before the wrist injury, so adapting for practice took no effort at all.
