I'm utterly amazed that you can use chopsticks with both hands. I wonder if your mom's figured you out yet haha. I've always been amazed by those really big cooking chopsticks. I'm not sure why..
I always have to make a very conscious effort not to hit others or I just sit a little farther cause if we bump elbows it's likely to be my fault.
I do, however, feel very special when I'm in a classroom and notice that more than half the class is righthanded. I kinda like being lefthanded....ok I really like being lefthanded.

my signature... i just write 'derek' in my own handwriting, but mirror-reflected. (yes, i can read and write mirror-reflected very well)- and no one has had a successful attempt yet to forge it.
calculators... uh, for a theatre major like me i rarely need them anymore- but in high school I used to 'calculator' with my right- so I could write at the same time
Ah those huge-ass long cooking chopsticks. It's still a mystery for me. I never understand how my mom & dad (yes he's a good cook too) can pick up deep fried food with them without any troubles (I AM a bad cook).
About bumping elbows- I learnt to eat with kinda, keeping my elbow closer to my body while I also sit a bit further. Or when I go to eat or to the pub with friends back home, I always remind them that I'm left handed and asks for the left-most seat. (It's annoying when someone slams your elbow when you have a glass of beer close to your face... especially when everyone's tipsy)..
Ha- my first thread that reaches 2 pages, I think.
