      thank you :]

      and yeah, I got a bit depressed when I found it out. Apparently it's something to do with when bumping into people left handers nearly always walk into the other person, when stepping to avoid them, and over time these knocks reduce the life expectancy. Plus over 25,000 left handers die from incorrectly using machinery meant for right handers.

        nah.. not really.. I sometimes wonder if I should be. I do a lot left handed, just not writing.

          So you're like ambidextrous?
          That's awesome

          I can't do anything right handed, my writing is actually unreadable. It's fantastic, I smudge everything i write. :/

            There's quite a bit my right hand can't or doesn't do naturally. I mean... I throw right handed and kick right footed and I use scissors with my right hand. But there are a lot of things that actually hurt my right hand to do them. If I have to use my forearm for it my left hand is the hand to use.

        We shall see if it is to your expectations. I think you should read some of my work before I enter...I had odd, varying taste.

    Okay, I've got my fingers crossed, I entered a rhyming poem.
    Give it a chance!
    Just because it rhymes doesn't mean it's bad!
    I promise!
    Tee hee!
    The prompts are cool be the way.
    Nice contest.

    I've been working on something for this. I'm almost done, but now I'm stuck (of course). Hopefully I'll finish soon
    I'm just letting you know that I didn't forget about your contest and warning you that my entry might be rubbish.
