Blurb My Brain:
So a well known fact, Readers, is that I am right handed. But when I was younger, I broke my right thumb and was in a cast for a few months. (that's actually a good story) In this time, I practiced using my left hand for everything. I basically had no choice. So I got fairly decent at writing with my left hand, and now, sometimes I sign things with my left hand, or if I'm on my phone and writing I will write with my left hand. But I like to take great pride in my ambidextrousity, even if most of the time I forget that I am. Except today when I looked down at my laptop keyboard. You know how you can often guess someone's password if they haven't changed their keyboard in a long time? (no? that's just me? well now you know too. Don't go hacking someone though. That's not nice. And I saw it on a tv show once, I swear.) Well, my keyboard is pretty evenly worn out. Maybe it's because I frequently use all the letters of the alphabet. But the key that looks like I use the most (and I guess it's understandable as to why) is the space bar.
This key is in mint condition, on 50% of the bar. Specifically the left side of the bar. So I'm a right spacer. This sparked the curiosity kitty, and I looked at my keyboard again and realized that I am a LEFT shifter. Yes, I apparently am ambidextrous in all ways including typing. SCORE. Then I was thinking about it more, and thought that I should try to switch things up a bit, and be a LEFT spacer, and a RIGHT shifter. My head promptly exploded. You see, I generally type at about 50-60 words per minute. Whilst switching it up, I guesstimate my typing speed to be slower than 30 words per minute. My mind had to stop and think about something that is just so natural now.
So have you ever decided to stop and think about something that you frequently do, and just analyze it? What kind of things do you do this to? Driving? Cooking? Baking? Writing?
