Calling all lefties!

[Denise Hall]

I'm extremely left handed except that I bat right handed. Of course, not much batting going on here anymore.

I also am notorious for looking at a magazine from back to front - doesn't even cross my mind to start from the front.

More strange and truthful facts from a lefty...

Me too--what's with that?! I'm right-handed otherwise. I've caught myself "reading" paintings backwards as well. I seem to be just as comfortable entering a painting from the right to left as from the left to right. Artistic dyslexia, maybe.

Doesn't everyone read magazines back to front?

I've always found a three quarter pose easier to draw facing right than left. If you check, the majority of portraits are done facing left (indicating a right handed artist).

Cars (in the US) are right handed. All adjustments are on the right hand side, ie: stereo, temp control, shift mechanism, vent, phone hook up, and on and on ad nauseum.

My camera is right handed, all the buttons are on the wrong side. It's no wonder that we get confused sometimes.

Jim, if all the left handed people got together en masse we would certainly be a force to be reckoned with. We're also more likely to be schizophrenic!

Next I'll start my rants about gravity.

I read magazines back to front as well, but am right-handed. So for those that read back to front, when you start to walk, do you lead with your left foot? I do. And, when I was still young enough to do splits and cartwheels, I was always better and felt more comfortable with the left leg leading.
