left right left. you know what they say about left handed people. well actually, what do they say about left handed people? "left handers do it right." plus they're supposedly more intelligent, more balanced and more creative. i'll argue the first two, maybe give a bit on the last one. there definitely is something to left handed people being "special." i think every left hander i know is pretty damn well rounded. some are super funny, some are super talented, some are just super. and i can't think of any left handers i know who aren't. off the top of my head anyway.



is it kind of shallow to have a positive bias towards left handed people? i mean, i can't help it, i like left handed people okay? however, there is one thing about lefties that's always bothered me. their handwriting. sure, some lefties have great handwriting -- an ex-girlfriend had the craziest handwriting i'd ever seen, all letters spaced exactly evenly apart, all the same height, all slanted to the right -- but for the most part, lefty handwriting is the pits. or laughable. or comedic. or smudgy. i saw one friend's handwriting, which looked exactly like a kindergartener's and i almost died laughing. beautiful stuff, but just hilarious.



and then there are the people whom i assume are left handed in my mind. or i think of them as left handed even if they're not. one friend is so outrageously artistic and overall talented that i can't believe they're not left handed. if only i had been born lefty so that i could be genetically superior, or at least know how to draw.
