i'm left-handed

well mostly left-handed. actually i'm sort of ambidextrous, this'll be important later, i promise. anyway i write with my left hand, but i'm extremely coordinated, and besides the writing, i can do pretty much anything with either hand without much difficulty. in any case, my birthday was a couple weeks ago, and leading up to it i wasn't really sure what i wanted, in fact, i'm not sure that there was anything that i really *wanted*, so when my mom asked me "hey what do you want for your birthday?" i was like "uhhh, a jumpsuit?" you know like the kind the mechanics wear. she didn't really believe me, and i didn't figure i *really* wanted a jumpsuit anyway, that was just the only thing i could think of right that second. i mean i'm the kinda guy who's happy with a card or a phone call or something like that.

so a couple weeks later i was shopping online, eddie bauer's website was having its summer sale and i saw a shirt that i really liked for twenty bucks, so i ended up getting it. while i was looking tho, i saw this watch that i liked, on sale of course, so i figure that'd be cool to get, so i go ahead and tell my mom, hey if you wanna get me something, i saw this watch, blah, blah, you know. she emails me back with a different watch, a swiss army one that's way more expensive, but that i like a lot less. long story short, i end up getting a watch, a fossil, not the eddie bauer one or the swiss army one, but it's all good cause i think i like the one i got better than either of the other two.

now i haven't worn a wristwatch since middle school. in fact, for a while after that, i considered wearing a watch restrictive, perhaps even an affront to my easy-going, free-spirited and hyper-hyphenated personality; i definitely didn't want to at all be bound by any sort of lil accessory or what it represented, i mean why should i care what time it was? i softened a bit whenever i got a pager and even after i stopped paying for airtime and stuff on it, carried it around as a sort of watch. the reason i stopped wearing a watch, however, was mostly because it was a complication, it became more trouble than it was worth, either i'd seem to find really fragile watches, or i was just lived in a rough and tumble enough sort of way that wristwatches didn't really last long. i figure it was a lil from column A and quite a bit from column B.

so now that i've got one, i'm sorta remember another pretty big reason why i haven't worn one for so long, the fact that i don't really know which hand to wear it on. yah, i know the rule of thumb, wear it on the opposite wrist of your dominant hand. and so like i was saying, i'm left handed, but not so much to where i *never* use my right hand. like i'm not so left handed that i use a left handed mouse or anything like that, so like when i'm at work, it clunks around against the desk while i'm using the computer, but it clunks when i'm not on the computer and i have it on my left hand whenever i'm trying to write, the whole thing is quite frustrating.

meh, who cares anyway, really i only got the thing to look like less of a lil kid.
