Left handed Diary
I have been totally devoid of blogging ideas lately, just been a bit down and mopey and couldn't be bothered with blogging, some may have seen me wanderingaround campus in my own little sullen world.
For some reason I decided I would like to keep a written diary, or rather journal I suppose, I guess I plan on writing more intimate, inane things in it, I know I am fairly open and honest on my blog but there are still things I avoid saying as I know certain people are reading. I know I could just use personal entries but it just doesn't feel the same, I want a tangible record.
To add to the excitement I am going to write in my journal with my left hand, I would really like to be able to write with both hands and this would be excellent practise as I can't practise whilst taking notes because I can't write fast enough to. So hopefully this journal will be a record of my inner most thoughts as well as showing how my left-handed hand writing will hopefully improve over time.
A pencil and a rubber are going to be important.
Giving up the dexterous for the sinister? [this is the proper olde worlde talk for left and right] Go for it, buddy. I used to be proper ambidexteros, but gave it up due to not writing with my left hand enough.

Well I am semi–ambidexterous at the mo, I eat left handed and do a couple of other things in a left handed way so I think I can do it.

Try writing backwards. That way, you put less strain on your left hand – in writing left–to–right, you have to place your hand at an awkward angle, and I find that it gets extremely uncomfortable after a while.

You write notes?

Be like my mate Phil. He's sesquisinistrous.
