Seems like it's time for a new poll.
 This one should be quick and easy!Are you left-handed, right-handed, or ambidextrous? Or are you somewhere in between?! Which would be your wand hand?   On the whole, I can use either hand for most anything. I only write with my left hand (it's quicker and much neater), so I guess I'm not truly ambidextrous. I use a computer mouse with my left hand mainly because it discourages people in the office from "borrowing" my computer.  I think my wand hand would my right hand. What about you? Pleione |

i am a true lefty.
i do everything left handed except using the comp. mouse & using scissors (just realized that's a really weird word haha  ) so my left hand would definitely be my wand hand EDIT: the only reason i use my right 4 those two things is cuz it's hard to come by a lefty mouse & scissors This post has been edited by jack.sym: Aug 9 2007, 11:48 AM -------------------- |

They never had left-handed scissors in school. I just use right-handed scissors with my left hand. As for the mouse, I use a standard mouse (meaning it's not shaped for a rightie) and under the mouse options, I reverse the button functions.

I'm a righty, mostly, but I'm a ten fingered typist so there's no bias either way when it comes to my keyboard
 . I wear my watch on either wrist, having no preference one way or the other. But I write with my right hand. I did get quite good at writing with my left hand when I was little and broke my right arm so had to have it in a plaster. Not that good though, I couldn't let the teachers know I was able to do my own work. As for wand work? Right-handed.

im a righty, i write with my right hand, use the comp. mouse with my right hand, but i wear my watch on my left hand!!! haha!! i mostly do stuff with my right hand, exept when i type on the computer, i use my 10 fingers, and at sports, bc ive learned to play basicly all sports with both hands (and feet, in case of soccer etc). tho i must say, when playing handball (my all time fave sport -that involves a ball, that is) i throw a bit stronger with my right, but then again, i am a righty.
so my wand hand would def. be my right one!!! ps. if you use your non-wand hand to cast a spell, does it bacfire or somthing?? just to know... This post has been edited by tonksgirl: Aug 9 2007, 07:46 PM -------------------- |

I'm Right Handed. I can barely do anything with my left-hand.

I'm much the same; my left hand is mostly useless. My right hand and right arm pretty much handle all of the important jobs.
There have long been superstitions regarding which hand you use predominantly. None of which are true, of course, but interesting nonetheless. |
