So recently they sussed that Barack Obama is a left hander.
I think it's pretty cool, and there have been various studies that link left-handed people with extreme intelligence or highly developed skills. Not sure how true that is... but it's fun to consider it.
So which hand do you write with?
Oh, and I'm a leftie. SHUNNN.

Left-handed writing runs in my family. My grandmother is left handed, as is my brother. My mom WAS, but apparently her school teacher used to bash her hands with a ruler every time she wrote with her left hand sooo she's a righty now. I write with my right hand but my mom and my grandmother say I hold my writing utensil like a lefty, although I don't really understand that? I try to write with my left hand a lot. x3 I'm getting pretty good, it's just weird.

I'm right handed XD
I used to tell people that the left side of my body is slow.. I can't do anything with my left hand that requires precision. XD

LEFTIE as a kid my dad tried to get me to change to right handedness, he said it was easier in the world to be a righty. But I also heard that lefties have to adapt to a right-hand dominated world, and therefore exercise their brains more than righties. So yay, we're smart!

Left handed But as far as I know I'm the only lefty in my family. The last time I checked left handedness is a Recessive gene [so are blue eyes] so I like to call myself the Recessive one in the family ^^

I'm right-handed, though I'm actually training myself to be able to use both hands. It's going well, so far. ^_^
Sure takes a lot of patience and practice, though.

I'm right pawed to a point where it's awful if I hurt that arm. Trust me, you don't want to see my handwriting with the left side.

Ambidextrous. It doesn't matter which hand I use, you still can't read it xD

Right handed. However I can write quite clearly with my left hand (albeit slowly) and I type a lot faster with my left hand and I've aptly labeled myself [partially] ambidextrous, haha. I do a lot of things a left-handed person does related to sports or whatever. Just more comfortable.

I'm Ambidextrous, i can write with both hands but i tend to use my right overall, i play sports such as netball/basketball with my left handed, but i can use both in sports like tennis or badmiton... We think its coz when i was born the midwife dislocated my right arm so its not as strong as my left so although i can use my right just as well as my left it may have been a kind of 'defense mechanism' in my learning that made me learn things with my left as well as my right, just incase... it also changes depending on what I'm doing and what i need do... like i favor my left if I'm looking for a higher reach (nets).

Left handed. Also, apparently I hold my pencil funny? Someone mentions it just about once a month. :P In my personal opinion, I have really great handwriting. I think my hold has maybe a bit more control than others seem to have ...?
Also an artist (to a point). I don't think I've ever shown you guys, though. It's always been a big part of my life ... I should scan some of my drawings to post next chance I get.

^ I hold my pen funny too! Do you by any chance when your write (thinks of it from a left pov) does your pen rest on your 2nd finger (next to your pinky) with 2 fingers on top and your thumb to the side of the 2 ontop? Just wondering, coz I'm always told i hold a pen really awkwardly and with a really tight grip, i was given these special 3 sided pens to try and 'correct' my grip, i mean if i can write, why do i need to change how i hold the pen?
