Old Feb 15th, 2011, 11:18 PM        I'M LEFT HANDED SO SHUT UP
I have a chalkboard hanging in my kitchen. I change it seasonally, usually with my beloved koh-i-noor woodless pencils. Started on a spring chick today.

He's a work in progress and that's why the shading on his wing and rear end are a bit wonky.



Anyway, if any of you lefties out there have mastered some way of not having the heel of your hand drag over and smear and ruin everything you do, I'm all ears. I've gone through the majority of my life with either an ink or a graphite or a chalk stain. And yes, I can work backwards, but sometimes I'm not thinking backwards.



The pink squiggle is a contribution from my one-year-old, who grabbed the pencil. She's shaping up to be a lefty too, incidentally.

Wow, that's good.

Yeah, I have the same problem with stains all up my hand.


Uh, ink and pencil stains I mean.

I think right handed people have the same problems. You have to train yourself to not rest your hand on the board. Sometimes I'll rest my pinky off the the drawing if I need stability.

Also, your daughter is a secret Canadian. That looks like a red maple leaf.

I would think it'd be easy to draw from right to left.

And when I write with my pens, I still end up with ink all up my arm for some reason. Don't feel bad.

I'd use my little finger as a rest, too. As a kid I always had paint/pen/pencil coated hands, but I've not had this problem for years now, and I've just realized I have no idea why...

Unhelpful, I know.

Every teacher I've ever had tells me I hold my pens and pencils wrong. I tried doing it the "correct" way but couldn't stand it. Then again, I type "wrong" and many teachers told me that being left-handed was wrong altogether, so fuck 'em.

In a way, being left handed is harder on a person. Everything is made for right handed people, but not everything is available in left handed form. All the way from where the knbs are on the washer to which door we pull open to enter a building.

I hold my chopsticks wrong, try getting way with that one.

True. And that would be bad. I don't know how well my chopstick handling would be viewed by a pro, so good thing I don't do it around others. Too much "KAWAIIIIIIIIII WATCH ME USE HASHI DESU NE" shit going on nowadays. These days I use my chopsticks to stir up powdered formula in bottles. They work great for that, by the way.

I used to really suck at using left-handed scissors, but I've improved recently.

In other ways life is easier if you are left handed, since you learn to adapt better and are therefore more able to overcome the worlds other obstacles. Also we are smarter, nicer and more creative.

Just generally better people.

You have to be left handed to become the Pope and lefties are proven to be less susceptible to bone loss on extended space missions. Not to mention that left handed scientists are smarter.

Try resting the wrist of your left hand on your left hand so it hovers over the image.

I've tried that, being a righty, and that's incredibly uncomfortable. Also, it has no stabilization, and my hand shakes without that.

We're also statistically more likely to die 7 years before right-handers.

Most of the time when I try to balance or do something akin to that, all I end up with is a wobbly sketch and one hell of a case of writer's cramp.

I've been trying to teach myself to write with my left hand for about the past 20 years or so. It's not real neat, but it's legible.

My daughter is a lefty. And, I suspect my youngest too, though it's still too early to tell for sure.

I do not own a ouija board, but weirdly enough I did try the little plastic prop from the middle of a pizza box once. It dragged through my work.

Weird, I have also read "normal minus 7" as the most recent lifespan estimate for MS sufferers

I tend to hate those sort of stats for their inherent smugness. Said healthy person could pity others for their short lifespan and wander outside only to be flattened by a truck.
