Left-Handed
But for the most part I can do anything with either hand,
except write & throw a baseball.

But I do all the things typical left-handers do,
I put my shoes on left then right, etc.
It's definitely my dominate one,
but my right arm is stronger, that's curious...hmm.

Right handed here. I can only think of one thing that I do with my left hand. All the rest is right-handed. Anyways:

"One in every 10 people is left-handed, and males are one and a half times more likely to be left-handed then females, according to Lefthanders International. Medical researchers have looked long and hard for what causes people to be left- or right-handed. Their answer? The same reason why brown-eyed people have brown eyes: genes that manifest their trait one out of every 10 chances."

Ambidextrous.

Write with my left hand. Equal left or right foot. I throw right but catching can be either hand. Raquet sports are left handed.

I am naturally right handed. However, I can use both for almost anything. I have had a few surgeries on the right arm / hand and so I got used to doing anything with my left.
If I find myself in a situation where it is more convenient to use my left hand, no problem. The left is every bit as steady as the right and equally as strong.
I use two computers at work and simply because of the way I have them placed, and my preference, one of them has the mouse on the left, the other on the right.

Back at the beginning of high school, i broke my right arm in a tennis accident. Anyways, the deputy principal (a nasty old man) wouldnt let me have another student to write my papers while i dictated them, so i had to learn how to write with my left hand.

So yah, end result, im ambidexterous.

(I can do most activities equally well with both hands, but instinctively (like if somethings falling towards me), my right hand goes up, so i am not a pure ambidexterous type, i guess...)
I sprained my right wrist really bad once and had it in a cast for a while. I also had to learn to use my left, but after I had the cast removed I stopped writing with my left and I lost practice... and I was getting good at it, too! ::sighs::

I've actually noticed that all of the umm... mentally challenged people I've ever met were all left-handed. Weird. My friend Steph is left-handed and she's freaking smart, though.

One of my best buds is left-handed but he plays right-handed. I think this sort of gives him an advantage. He says the guitar feels uncomfortable if he holds it left-handed. He tried to learn to play lefty but he just didn't like it. Some people think the picking hand is more important, others think the fretting hand is more important. Good guitarists realize that both hands are important. All I know is that I can pick faster than I can fret, so this means my left hand just isn't fast enough yet. He doesn't have this problem, since he's a lefty who plays right-handed. Do you experience the same thing?

My brother was a lefty, my mom and dad tide his left arm down for two weeks when he was 4 or 5 and he finally started using his right hand. It totally fucked him up mentaly. We never let them live it down. They said everyone did it back in the fifties. I never ran into anyone else who did.

As a lefty who play's right handed I find fingering is very fast,
Picking is a bigger challange. I find it harder to develop the rythem in my right, that is natural in my left hand.

The biggest reason I choose to play right handed, is so I can play any guitar I want to! Not just that rare lefty!

Some things are easy and natural right handed, writing, throwing, etc. Some are left, swinging an axe, opening doors, and painting. some are both, eating, archery, swordplay.
