Right-handed Or Left Handed?

I was just thinking about it... I once heard that often artists are left-handed... I don't know where, and it was a long time ago, but I thought it would be interesting to find out which hand everyone uses to draw, or do other things, like hold a hockey stick or play guitar for example...

Me, I'm right-handed all the way... I don't think I use my left hand for anything, actually... hmm...

I'm a righty. I've been trying to practice writing and doodling with my left hand (procrastination!), but it always turns out sloppy looking.

I'm ambidexterous. I can write with both, draw with both, and on occasions, play guitar with both, if the strings are reversed accordingly.

I said right-handed becasue well, I am. ^_^

Actually it's said that right-handed people live, on average, 9 years longer than left-handed people.... WTF?

So what does that mean for ambidexterous people?

No idea.... Perhaps it means you will live longer than both, or you will live 4 and 1/2 years longer than left-handed people...

I don't think that statistic ment that right-handedness contributes to longer life. I just think it states that right-handed people on average just happen to have lived longer than left-handed people.

I know, just felt like saying it. It was really funny when my friend started crying when she thought I was gonna live 9 years longer than her when i told her.

Really?? Sweet-a-ronies!! You're ambidextrous, Flea?? That's cool... I wish I was, that would be neat... I try writing with my left hand, but it looks like a 6 year olds.. It would be a lot easier if I didn't have to hold that damn pencil... that's the hardest part, I think.. *shrug*

Yeah, I'm ambidexterous, but it's not natural.

In Japan, adults used to train the leftied children to be able to write with the right so they can do japanese caligrafy (sp??) because it's done with the right hand and it doesn't work with the left hand....useless fact but it's interesting .....right? ....*silence*.....yeah.....

btw...my brother is ambidexterous also and he plays the guitar too. I think he was born with it. cuz he writes with his right but he uses everything with his left.....i think....and he got all the good creativity genes...he's a musician and an artist.

I'm sort of a musician but i suck at it and i also suck at drawing stuff
