1. Does using my mouse with one hand and my nostromo speedpad with the other count?

5. I'm ambi on most things.
I just can't pitch right handed, I can throw but I can't pitch. The opposite body motion fucks me up. I also can't play the drums in a left handed setup even though I can use both hands and both feet interchangeably in a right handed setup. It's weird.

6. And from the mouths of babes...
My friend said that when his niece was little, in the late 1960's, she said "Uncle Ray can use either hand. That makes him a transvestite."

7. My left handed writing is not very good and I throw "like a girl" with it,
other than that, I can do everything else with either hand.

15. Thus the quotation marks.
I just can't think of any other way to describe it, I can bat right or left, shoot b-ball with either hand, but overhand throw... well, you know.

9. I'm lefty but play guitar righty.
Felt wrong at first, but I got used to it. Other than that, I'm pretty hopeless with my right hand, although I can use a mouse equally well either way.

13. The only thing I never do with my right hand is writing.
Everything else I do with whatever hand makes the most sense at the time.

I think it was working as an auto mechanic that sealed the ambidexterity business. Often, you don't have a choice about which hand to use.

16. I can do most everything with both hands except writing. I can write somewhat legibly
with my right hand, but my writing hand is my left. It's funny, because it took me a long time to learn the difference between left and right, because I don't have a pronounced dominant hand. I dine with both hands, I apply my makeup with both hands etc. My friends and I had a Big Lebowski night not too long ago, and I couldn't remember if I bowl with my right or left hand. I discovered that I am equally bad with both! --Myrna "Gutter Ball" Minx
