I'm sort of ambidextrous, sort of cross lateral.
I use my left hand for writing and eating with a spoon, and my right hand for everything else (chopsticks I can use in both hands)
I'm left eyed too.
Also, a basic test at school showed that when it comes to thinking my left side is extremely dominent, which apparently explains my liking for science and maths and dislike for writing!
My 9 year old daughter is left handed, and our handwriting is so similar (must hide my credit cards!) but then I hardly ever write, choosing a computer because that way the letters can keep up with my brain.
With writing I generally use block caps to make it clear, but I tend to start some words with the second letter, then have to add the first.
A lot of left handers are the surviving embryos of mirror twins (where the embryo splits past the time you get identical twins, but before the time you get co-joined twins) so I could have had a brother!
PS - I can play a normal guitar (not very well but at least it wasn't expensive!)
PPS - Dad's totally left handed, and I have no idea how he manages to play a right handed clarinet!
