Peace and Love
I was looking for a thread that I could pour my heart and soul into, but since I'm too ugly for the Las Pictoras thread
, I looked at all my limbs and body parts for anything interesting, and even double-checked all that empty space between my ears, but I couldn't find anything interesting about me.
But then I remembered that I was left-handed! And that got me to thinking about any other left-handers out there: Do they like being kinda-sorta unique? Have they ever run into any lefty-related dilemmas? Do any them feel that their handedness might be a benefit in some ways (like drawing, writing, sports, or maybe even the ever-important Smash Brothers)?
I've heard someone make the argument that the left-hander represents the last great minority of modern society. That is, that while ethnic minorities and other groups like the LGBT community have taken steps towards equality, which many times meant standing strong in the face of adversity, he believes that the left-hander remains the last big group of people that lacks any sort of voice or political power. I mean, part of this seems like no big surprise: while lefties have had their share of problems and stigmas as recently as the 1980's, to even compare it to the hardships faced by other groups seems silly.
But still, I'd like to think to that there's at least something a little bit interesting about all this left-handed stuff. And so, at the risk of letting this turn into a "like, can openers are totally not friendly" thread, I'd like to know if there are any left-handers here, or lefty-curious folks, or even good-with-both-hands people.
Maybe we'll be able to find something to talk about aside from those dreaded scissors and can openers. :]
and since the LGBT thread is no more

And if nobody posts, then I guess that it'd be alright; I don't think that I'd be any bigger of a weirdo than I already am.
