I keep going to write with my left hand. I am mostly ambidextrous, but I generally don't do that. Writing and drawing are probably the only two things I consistently use my right hand for. It's working out so far, though obviously the letters look different (and I keep drawing stick-figures upside down), but, uh. Why am I doing this? Maybe the right hand is tired. Maybe the left hand feels neglected. Maybe this is just one of those weird things that happens on occasion.
Not entirely unrelated, I found out the other day that my father, while he uses his right hand now, isn't entirely sure which hand would have been his dominant hand. Maybe he was left handed, or maybe he was just mirroring the way the other kids wrote when he was younger. (My mother has always used her left hand.)
(Or maybe my brain is just confused. My left eye and foot are dominant, so you'd think maybe I'd be left handed, as well, but no. I grew up using my right hand. Don't know when I started using my left hand, too. I hold my silverware opposite, but am not sure if I always did that. I don't even know. Jumbled brain ftw.)
Contemplating some of my original characters... Some ideas I have I know are... well, not bad, but not ones that would ever actually be used? Just ones that keeping coming around through my head on occasion. I actually do want to do more to address one of them, from Jade and Okame-verse, but it would be more of yet another OKAME'S BRAIN IS WRONG YAY and less No, really, this is fact. The only problem for that would be coming up with a reason for Jade to actually leave, which is unlikely, at best. Unless Okame goes away, which could work, but I am less comfortable with that route. I don't know.
Since I just wrote that entire paragraph without actually explaining what I was thinking about, the idea is that Jade doesn't actually exist. She's just something Hotaru invented, or part of her sanity or something. I do like to think this is something she occasionally worries about when she's having one of her worse fits, but it's not actually true.
ARGH I WANT TO WRITE THIS. SOMEDAY. SOMEHOW. GONNA MAKE IT ALL RIGHT BUT NOT RIGHT NOW I KNOW YO-- stop that, mental jukebox.
stupid body,
jade/okame,
original characters versus my sanity,
that's different,
slaggit brain!
