Post a random truth about yourself thread.

Ren and CBC, are both of you right handed?

  I am.  I notice the whole right side of my face is subtly fuller than the left side.

I love living alone, at the moment.

  I've lived alone happily for 17 years and I don't anticipate living with anyone else ever again.* 


      * Until I move into a HOME.  With other old bats.

No, I am left handed.

What does that mean?

IIRC;

Righthanded people often are just a bit bigger in their bodyparts on the right of their body. With lefthanded people it is the other way around.
The more right- or left- oriented, the bigger the chance that the difference in size is there. Partly due to exercise induced growth. Even the quality of eyesight can be part of this.

People who are ambidextrous, or left footed and right handed are supposedly more even in the sizes of their body parts.

That said, I'm left footed, right handed. My right left and foot are bigger than my left leg and foot. So, it is not a solid rule.

I have no way of backing this up by text. Someone once told me. Who knows, she may have made it up. But she is not that type of woman.

I "used to know a guy" (actually worked with him for many years in music) who was an accomplished pianist, classically trained but more interested in old jazz and early rock music.

He was truly ambidextrous. He could take a pen in each hand and starting from the middle of the page write an almost perfect mirror image from the right and the left at the same time. As long as he did not have to write "right way" with his left hand, his left hand writing looked like an exact mirror image of what he had written with his right hand.

 

Kind of unsettling, but very cool, I thought. I miss him.

I am right handed and right bodied in general. When I played baseball, I was able to switch hit, because I really did not have a clearly dominant eye. I could choose to dominate with either. I used that skill to advance in target shooting in later years.

Hardly anything is more upsetting to a baseball pitcher than having a batter switch sides after one pitch, when he already has a plan to strike that batter out. My coach used to have me do that quite often, because I could usually get on base either way.

My right hand is maybe half again stronger than my left. My left is quite dexterous, but I have to assume, not used often enough to develop the same muscles as with my right. Never had any luck trying to kick with my left foot. I am totally right footed as far as kicking goes, even though for years I kicked a bag of sand as an exercise with both feet, alternately.

Since my hip replacement on my right side, I am sure that my left leg is much stronger still, but I am beginning to step first with my right again and I can kick fairly impressively into my old bag with my old and dodgy right leg these days. Can't work out like I used to but getting better all the time, I think.

I'm left handed but very right eyed. My left eye is weak. If I were to bat at baseball, it would be right handed. Throwing a ball, left handed. Golf, I am right handed.

My right cheekbone is more prominent than my left, by quite a lot.

  Mine too.  It probably doesn't show much visually, but I can definitely feel the difference.

I'm really bad at self isolating when depression hits.

I'm really bad at self isolating when depression hits.

  I isolate myself to the point of being selfish in my relationships.  Hard to strike the balance.

I do the same. But I tell people that I will be okay, they just need to give me space and I will be back when I'm feeling more balanced. I think the added phone calls and conversations and making plans and being social drains me so much that instinctively I know that I don't have the additional resources to put into it. So it's kind of out of self preservation.

  It's good that you have the instinct for self-preservation, and the strategies to enforce it.

My fantasy involves Chris Pratt, Markiplier and Natalie Dormer. Not any kind of romantic or sexual thing but going on adventures, I'd bring Toffee along too. Space adventures 'n shit, you know. Like No Man's Sky but actually fun and interesting and with two actors, a Youtuber, a Some_Bloke and a dog solving mysteries at the same time, throughout time and space.
