[mood: weird]
[craving: no poetry!]
As a person with a ‘gold-fish’ memory.. I get amazed repeatedly over the same thing.. =P One incident happens with my own best friend
Samsoomah.. I’ve known her since forever, but everytime I pay attention to her when she’s writing.. I am always surprised she’s left-handed.. lol “Omg you’re left-handed!” I’d say.. “Yeah and you KNOW that! You said the same thing last time too!” “No no I never knew that!”.. After sometime.. the same incident happens.. =P lol *cough* ok my brain is disconnected..*cough*
So anyway.. as I was trying to take a break from work today.. the incident crossed my mind and I decided to research about being ‘left handed’ online.. (not that I research for a break =P) and I was surprised by what I found.. it seems that it is beyond just writing with the ‘wrong’ hand =P hehe.. Being left-handed is a world of its own! It’s apparently recognized as a culture of its own.. a way to categorize someone and involves a totally different experience! Doing things right.. is always boring.. including being ‘right-handed’.. lol This was an eye-opening experience..
Here is just a glimpse of what’s out there:
- A website that has
anything left-handed! You can order all sorts of ‘left-handed’ things, find out alot of left-handed information, join the left-handed club and many more!
- A directory of over
1000 famous left-handed people!
- Ofcourse there is a
Left-handers day.. I wonder if Hallmark considered printing cards for this.. *scratches head*
-
Left-hand design.. “the art of left-handed thinking”
- A site
for, about and by left-handed people..
- On the side:
left-handed guitars.. lets rock n roll lefties! I found many more.. but can’t be bothered to post..
-
Living lefty in a right-handed world .. you know its a cruel world living with us ‘right-handed’ people..
-
Left-handed education website..
- Beware lefties! Watch out for these
dangers!
- Even Yahoo! recognizes
Left-handers as a culture/group..
- More left-handed shopping
here,
here and
here.. a variety of things including mugs, notebooks, cameras and boomerangs.. (and just when you thought you ran out of creative options)
- Be a statistic: Do the
left-handed poll then check the rest of the website..
- The
left-handed piano website..
- The
Left Handed DNA Hall of fame.. a confusing website.. =s
- And finally the good news:
Study finds left-handers don’t die earlier.. as was rumored by a sour right-handed person.. so there you go.. live-longer lefties! =D
After a while of this ‘culture shock’ of left-handedness.. I don’t think I’ll see
Samsoomah the same way like before.. ‘lefty’ we7deh =P hehe
You live & learn people.. =)
[Final whisper: No offence to any left-handers.. =P]
