Left or Right?

I'm just curious - are you left-handed, right-handed, or ambidextrous?
I am right-handed.

I bet PA looked at this thread and got all excited, then found himself all depressed when he realised that it doesn't give him an opportunity to moan about the political left.

I'm mainly right handed and partially ambidextrous. As in, I have more dexterity in my left hand than your standard right handed person, but the same amount of dexterity in my dominant hand.

I'm right-handed, but my left hand's fingers are a bit more flexible than my right hand due to playing the guitar. And for some reason my left hand seems to be more susceptible to cramp than my right...

Probably due to the stretch of inversion bar chords.

I think I'm ambidextrious. I can only write and draw with my left hand, but I do everything else with the right. If I tried doing other stuff with my left, I'd probably screw up. And even if I'm wrong, I've already voted. Hah.

Right handed, but like other folks have said, instrument playing helps your left hand become more useful.

Y'know... I don't think I've ever cut my fingernails, I just bite them down to a reasonable level. I seriously can't remember cutting my nails in living memory.

Absolute ditto. :x

I'd actually rather be left-handed (fan issue because Link is, shush) but then I heard about the whole school-desk issue... I write and draw with my right, but I do everything else like a left-handed person.

I find it interesting that while two people have voted ambidextrous, none have commited to being lefties.

Right-handed, meaning chances are my brain's left hemisphere is dominant. However, from all the psychological tests I've taken and just from knowing my own interests (science but art and music too) and such, I'm quite positive my hemishperes are fairly equal.

Here, for those that don't know (and for your discussiony needs, Esus) is a brief explanation of the dominanty stuffs I'm talking about: http://www.pierce.ctc.edu/tlink/gene...s_js_hand.html

And here's something I found that gives a few theories about why some people are left-handed. http://psychology.hypnoticworld.com/...handedness.php

Oh yeah I hate that... the way you've got to reach round the WRONG way to do chords of any kind. That's why I like e minor... just a couple fingers, right up the end of the neck. You get a nice, meaty powerchord off it too, good way to check that everything is in tune.

Screws with your wrist after a while too, cause you've got to keep it in an unrelaxed twisted-round position for ages.

Ummm.... you're talking about guitars, right?

Anyway, I'm right-handed, just like Jesus was, which is just one more clue that I am, in fact, an incarnation of the Messiah.
