left or right handed

[Arbre]

I'm right handed. Extremely and almost exclusively.

Creativity... like none. I can draw fairly well, preferably without looking at something, but composition, planning, originality and a unique sense of style are weak. -_- I prefer a relatively realistic portrayal of objects even if the juxtaposition is not realistic (the normal rules of lighting and texture and everything would apply even if a scene would not occur in the real world).

I enjoy music (I play piano, clarinet, flute, saxaphone, trumpet, trombone, baritone, recorder (it's fun), and other stuff), but in that, I am not creative. I follow rules. I sightread well, but I can't compose my own songs. I like rules in music and I prefer to depend on something others did and just follow it than try my own thing.

I like rules in basically everything, though. Maybe that's my problem.

My dreams on the other hand are very unique. (heh.... a pun... yay)
In dreams I create original fully orchestrated music, like background music to my dreams. o_O Sometimes characters in my dreams sing. I remembered one when I woke up once. It's corny, but it's recorded on paper, along with the simple melody.
And locations are cool, too. Huge mansions with complex floorplans and everything. That's fun.

I am more creative when I'm tired, about to sleep. Or sleep deprived. ^_^;

Oh, fine, I'll give a proper answer this time.

I'm right handed, though I try to train myself to use my left hand for some tasks -- it really does improve brain plasticity and ability to learn, as I recall reading. I can't write with it, but obviously I type very well with just my left hand, and I use it for some sports tasks.

I would gauge my creativity in a couple of ways. For out-and-out art/music/so on, I'd say I'm around a 7. I can come up with my own stuff, but I've always been better at expanding on someone else's abstract concept (which is why "my" works tend to be derivations or syntheses of something else -- I take a lot of cues, and then make them my own). Or, more commonly, I'll take a bright idea I admire, and then devise my own way to accomplish it. For technical engineering, I can come up with some pretty good solutions to unusual problems within specific conditions (programming in particular), so I'd grade myself an eight there.

Interesting what Gypsy said about leftie males and creative arts. I've thought of myself as creative, but on the other hand, so far I've held very concrete jobs (programmer, database administrator, resident physician, ...).

[Spirit_Wolf8356]

I'm a righty! ^_^

[Ssjjvash]

I'm right-handed.

[agasfas]

Sounds like someone could use a trip to the Leftorium.

I wish there was one I knew of. But I've gotten used to using right handed tools. Actually what i dislike more than can openers are spiral notebooks, the metal seam always gets in the way. Just curious, are there any left handed people out there that are also clumsy? Just trying to see if it's just me (probably is)

[Fsiphskilm]

slowly switching into

[Shinja]

i drum almost as well with my left hand as with my right, which took a long time to figure out

[ShiroiHikari]

I'm VERY right handed, but slowly gaining more dexterity with my left.

as far as creativity...I'd give myself about a 6. I'm pretty decent at Photoshop and graphics, but not very good at original compositions. I can draw but not very well. I can play (badly) a few different things like piano and flute, but I sing better than I play. I also write, but again, not very good at it.

[EireWolf]

Right-handed.

For creativity... probably 7.5 or 8. I can sculpt really well, and I can draw well if I work hard at it. Sculpting comes more naturally though. I can sing, but I don't write songs. I've written poetry and prose in the past, but it's been a long time since I've written. Um... and I can be a good listener if I'm paying attention.

[Mave]

As a leftie, yes, that darn scissors is a pain. Apart from that, I've always thought I faced very few problems with anything else. (Hey, I can even play badminton pretty well with my right hand.)

.....Until the fateful day I attempted to make an oekaki. Ok I didn't want to cheat using the tablet so here I was trying to draw something on the computer using the mouse <-- which is usually controlled with the right hand. But my right hand is not used to drawing, so I switched hands but couldn't use the mouse with my left hand since the clicky buttons were backwards. It was terribly awkward. Result? My first oekaki took me 3 hours to complete.

[Little T-chan]

I'm right-handed!!

Creativity:....I'm not sure...my mother says I come up with creative designs for clothing...But I don't know where I would be on that scale...

Talent:...Um...people tell me that I'm good at drawing anime..and that I have nice form in taekwondo..^^;...but I'm really not sure.

[CDLviking]

I'm VERY right handed, but slowly gaining more dexterity with my left.

HAHAHA! How incredibly ironic. Wow! I feel like such a Latin nerd now.

*Goes back to curl up in his cave with his St. Jerome's Vulgate and other Latin texts.*

I'm mostly left-handed, but I have become more sinister with my right.

[jesusfreakabc]

right ??? anime!!!

[Kinkosami]

Left-handed.

Creativity - Maybe a 7.5 or 8

Talents - I'd say art. And piano comes pretty easy for me, I memorize songs quickly. But i memorize everything else very slowly... -_-;; And maybe writing.

[shooraijin]

> I feel like such a Latin nerd now.

You weren't before? *runs and hides behind ShiroiHikari*

[CDLviking]

Well I didn't feel like such a big one before. I guess now my eyes have been opened to the truth.

[Erin]

I'm left handed which makes it realy hard to write cause as you write you get ink/led all over the side of your hand

I would messure my creativity level at about.....maybe 5.

Hmmm.....talents well I can twist my tungue in to the shapee of a tulip without tuching it and I can rase both I brows one at a time I mean but I don't realy think those count do they......well besides those I don't think I realy have a talent besides making a complete fool of myself I'm very good at that

[mitsuki lover]

I'm a Rightie but for some weird reason both of my older sisters are Lefties.
Made for interesting meals when we were growing up.

Creatively speaking I can play the piano and write poetry and also like to do
fanfic like everyone else.

btw:For you Lefties out there there's a book that I saw at Barnes & Nobles
that listed a bunch of famous Lefties.For example how many of you know
that Paul McCartney's a Leftie(and I am not referring to his politics here)?

[Nataku]

Im right handed, 7/10, Im really good at coming up with stories (thanks to a big imagination) and have natural talent of getting better at a game quicker than most.

[Moonstone]

I'm right handed.I write horribly with my left hand ^^;
Talent level: I give myself a 3-4,but it's up to whoever sees my art to really decide that.
As for real creativity..I don't know o.o;

[mitsuki lover]

Anyone ever see that old slogan:"The Left Hand Is Controlled By The Right Side Of The Brain,Therefore Lefties Are The Only Ones In Their Right Mind"?

[CDLviking]

Somebody already beat you to the punch line.

[SpikeSpiegel306]

Right-handed to the max!

Latin Geeks of the CAA Unite! Ashley can be our queen.

[Mave]

This is unfortunate. My left hand is giving me problems again so I will start training my right hand to write and draw. I guess I'll be ambidextrous then. -_-;

Lesson learnt: Never attempt to draw more than 5 manga pages in one sitting.

[Kristal*Klear]

I am right handed. is that all you wnat to know? Hee hee.

[mastersquirrel]

I'm right handed. I would rate myself somewhere around a 8 for creativity and I'm good at gaming and playing the piano.

[Icarus]

Mave, there is a setting on Windows you can change to switch the mouse buttons around. Control Panel, Mouse properties.

I'm a righty myself, creativity is around average to middling. Talent? Some would say I can write, though mostly it's stringing words together in a pleasing manner. I'd say I'm passable.

What I'm really good at is freaking people out. The first time they see me stretch, most are reduced to . My elbows go past 180 as a matter of course and my shoulder revolves hideously.

Wow..I had no idea. Ok I'll try that out, thanks!
