The Problem With Being Left-Handed

Posted by admin on October 24th, 2008

As I’ve always been left-handed I cannot of course speak authoritatively for what Right Handers think but as far as I know us left-handers have the left and right hand parts of our brains as fairly equal partners, this means we often get a wretched inner debate before we can ever decide on a course of an action. Right handers just think and do. Us left-handers on the other hand are renouned for being more artistic etc etc.

The reason I’m blogging this is that this morning I was going to take a kitchen utensil we never use to a thrift shop, and then right at the last moment I start dithering well may be we might use it one day blah blah. So any way it’s still sitting in our garage as it has done for 2 years. Annoying!

What are your experiencees?

Curiously a report released today by Abertay University states

People who are left-handed are more likely to get anxious or feel shy or embarrassed about doing or saying what they want, according to new research.

Those involved in the Abertay University study were given a behavioural test that gauges personal restraint and impulsiveness.

Researchers found left-handers tended to agree more with statements such as “I worry about making mistakes.”

They also agreed that “criticism or scolding hurts me quite a bit.”

In total, 46 left-handed people were compared with 66 right-handers.

‘Wiring differences’

The left-handers scored higher when it came to inhibition, especially when a situation was new or unusual. Women were also more held back than men.

Having the Amelie Dream

Posted by admin on October 14th, 2008

Amelie in the cult film recreates people’s dreams, well they are not necessarily so pleasant when you actually experience such a dream. Recently I dreamed I rediscovered my old student flat and my old collection of cars and vans were some how still there waiting for me. A very disturbing kind of dream, because you feel this guilt and responsibility for what you’ve forgotten and left behind. Have you had a similar one?

Marmite Keeping the Unhealthy Healthy

Posted by admin on October 4th, 2008

I knew someone who refused to eat vegetables but seemed healthy enough, apparently he eat Marmite.  Students and young adults whose lives are too disorganised to eat properly are also probably often saved by Marmite. Marmite is a convenience food which is actually good for you (good source of five B vitamins)!

You bet your sweet bippy

Posted by admin on October 1st, 2008

Today I used the phrase ” You bet your sweet bippy” for the first time ever.  I was thanking someone for solving a problem I had with my emailer Pegasus which they had correctly suggested was a virus!

Coincidentally I’ve been working on my Intermet Marketing Glossary

A Cornucopia of Serendipity

Posted by admin on September 29th, 2008

Well a friend complained that he couldn’t see what the common theme was of this blog, well there isn’t meant to be one, but if you too like the arcane and the incongruous then may be there will be something of interest to you if you scratch about here long enough.

Finally Number one on Google for Helioproctosis

Posted by admin on September 22nd, 2008

Just received a mailing from Martin Avis of  kickstarttodayforum.com in which he mentions that he had been analysing his web traffic statistics and was astonished to notice that the word Helioproctosis had brought him traffic. Well I’d made that posting (I believe I’d got it from Dee Harrison), interested as I always am by the arcane and I also have the number one posting in Google for that same word at www.successtheory.com/2008/03/helioproctosis-birth-of-new-word.html .    Sometime it’s a bit lonely blogging you never know if anyone at all is listening so this just goes to show that sometimes someone is!
