they made me pick a hand as a child and being the counterculture freaks my parents were i am now a southpaw..

i play bass right handed. computer right handed. throw left handed and write left. i bet my handwriting would be neater if i was right though.

Yep, but the only thing I can't do with the right is write, I can do it, but it looks like a 3 year old wrote it hehe.

Long time ago I started just forcing myself to use both hands, like switching the mouse left for one month, then right, it started to annoy me that some things when you use your 'bad' side feels like you'r handicapped, like if you'r at a friends and has to use his mouse and it's on the 'wrong' side, I even got a crap drumset that I setup reverse to my normal gretsch set and try and learn the same things in reverse, feels like you never played before when you start

but it realy helps with coordination which is a realy good exercise when you play drums.

me and my music partner are ambi-nothing we both are neither right or left handed one is right handed and writes with left hand, the other is dyslexic and uses right for most things but not all. sounds stupid but we are both really confused as to what hand we shuld use. but we both scratch with the turntable on the right side of the mixer. the left rght brain thing is really weird, i feel like i am both, but physically more right handed but mentally more right brained.

i'm right handed and i do everything with my right hand. i don't feel like my left hand is any more creative...

yup, i am left handed, my left eye is also way stronger than my right and i often tend to think of the right side of my body as some kind of withered thing that my left side is dragging about. though since the advent of computers i have found that i can use a mouse just the same with my left and right hand. hmmm

I'm left, although there are a few things I do right. Tennis is left, but Cricket is right. I normally mouse with my right hand, but when I get lazy, I have no problem switching hands and feeling just as comfortable. Scissors are left, otherwise I cut like a 2 yr old, and the left row of my tummy muscles is bigger than the right.

strangely enough the opposite happened to me... im left-handed for absolutely everything except scissors... had to adapt to right handed scirrors as a kid i guess. last week was in london i bought left-handed scissors in a small shop in soho and had a hard time...
but i also bought left-handed kitchen knikes and the difference is really massive. i can chop anything in a fraction of seconds now

Draw , paint and Write 100% left handed.
Mouse Control is always right handed.
Play Bass right handed.
Play keys with either depending on the feel I'm after input wise oddly enough.
Basically left handed though I throw & catch right handed also.
Cutlery 100% ambidextrous (doesn't phase me either way).
As stated though when it comes to writing / drawing / painting and most artwork I am always left handed in operation and totally uncoordinated with the right hand for those tasks.
